Before Ice King was the princess-stealing baddie of the Land of Ooo, he was actually a charming human named Simon Petrikov. Following the events of the mysterious Mushroom War, Simon found himself in the care of a young Marceline. Around this time, Simon had acquired the Ice King’s crown and was slowly being driven insane by its influence. Eventually, Simon fully transformed into the Ice King with no memory of his former life or his former friend.
But, all of that changed during the Adventure Time series finale! Thanks to the digesting powers of GOLB, Ice King was returned back to his former self and finally able to reunite with Marceline. Now, Simon is struggling to accept all of the pain and hardships he caused others during his time as Ice King. After asking Marceline for help in making amends, the pair are joined by Finn and Jake for an adventure into one of Ooo’s most dangerous places – the Nightosphere!
Who better to write a Marceline-centric story than the actress who has provided her voice for 10 seasons, Olivia Olson. Illustrated by Slimm Fabert (Adventure Time), this issue is the perfect story for any fan of the dynamic duo of Marcy and Simon!
