Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) are ecstatic to welcome readers new and old to “HANDBOOK HEROES,” a brand-new story arc beginning in ADVENTURE TIME #9!

Jump into the fun when the first chapter of “HANDBOOK HEROES” begins in ADVENTURE TIME #9 – coming to comic shops everywhere on January 21st!
With the Enchiridion—the famed guide for adventurers—seemingly gone for good, Finn and Jake set out to make their own handbook on how to be a hero! (See what we did there?) Armed (literally) with new tech from Computer Princess, the best of buds aim to record all the sword swings, fighting styles, sick dance moves, and weird junk they can find. But what happens when they run into perhaps their most terrifying adversary yet—Robot Finn, who’s going around being all unheroic and totally besmirching the real Finn’s good name!
Can our heroes—with the help of some familiar faces—get to the bottom of this mechanical mystery?! This perfect jumping on point for new readers and old fans continues the amazing adventures of Jake and Finn and is pretty dang exciting, especially when ADVENTURE TIME #9 (NEW ARC! “HANDBOOK HEROES” – PART 1)has some ridiculously cool covers from awesome artists like Nick Winn, Austin Baechle, JustaSuta (My Little Pony), and Nicole Goux(This Place Kills Me)!
