Who says there are no good cartoons these days, or comics adapting said cartoons? Who said that? I'll give you one hint: Not this guy.

Here's a little taste:

Adventure Time #3 from Kaboom!




The world of Ooo is destroyed! In part 3 of Jake and Finn's battle with the Lich, they fail to stop him from sucking their entire world into his magical bag. The fight, though, is far from over...

"It's like Abraham Lincoln once said in the past and also on Mars! I just have to believe in myself. We just have to believe in ourselves! In ALL of ourselves!!"

In "Bacon Fields," Lumpy Space Princess makes a grave error by eating the shelter of a family of tiny breakfast organisms. If you know LSP like I do, then expect the solution to this dilemma to involve makeovers and hot friggin' lumps.


Spongebob Comics #7 from United Plankton Pictures




The Table of Contents for this issue is sung as a series of short pirate shantys whooping it up at an unfortunate inn. This must be seen and read to be believed.

"Missing Man!" features a hunt for the missing Mermaid Man, who fails to appear at Barnacle Boy's birthday party. Spongebob, Patrick, and Barnacle Boy search through a who's who of Mermaid Man's greatest (all retired) enemies to solve this mystery.

James Kochalka produces two great features, "Gary's Hairball Adventure" and a one-page trio of short strips.

In "Look Out Below!" Spongebob, in attempting to help Mr. Krabs find his missing money clip, ends up protecting a subterranean kingdom against a marauding monster. Surely Spongebob's nose-flute skills will be of no help in such a situation. What's a sponge to do?

Also: Flotsam and Jetsam (real facts about sea stars!), Egg Hunt, and a pull-out poster featuring the Savage Spatula of Spongebob art from this month's cover.
