But where are they going to find it? And how?! An epic journey awaits Finn and Jake, but can they remain best of buds throughout their quest? Or is their friendship about to be put to the test?! Fantasy and friendship unite as the beloved animation icons of Adventure Time return to comics to pick up where their Eisner Award–winning adventures left off!
