Oni Press August 2025 Solicitations: The Bubbline College Special and Compendium Vol. 3
The Oni Press solicitations are out for August! The Bubbline College Special will release on 20 August (EDIT: delayed to 1 October) and retail for $8. It's a 56 page double-size one-shot, and it looks like it will replace the main series release for this month, so Adventure Time (2025) #5 has likely been pushed to September.
Here's the blurb for the Bubbline special!
From the mind of Eisner Award–winning cartoonist Caroline Cash (PeePee PooPoo), experience all the fun of college (and none of the stress) in this giant- sized spectacular starring Princess Bubblegum and Marceline! What, do you think Ice King should get to have all the fun?! Heck nah! Fanfics are cool and all, but you know what’s even cooler? Peering into alternate universes— and Prismo’s got the perfect one in mind . . . Princess Bubblegum has just started school at Ooo University (double majoring in chemistry and princess, of course!). But between difficult roommates, overreaching bodyguards, assassination attempts, and—more importantly—a full class schedule, will Bubblegum be able to survive her first year in college?! With the help of one super-cool, super-mysterious flying vampire who she is mayybeee falling in love with, it shouldn’t be all that hard. Turns out Marceline and Bubblegum are made for each other in any universe!
The story will somewhat tie in with the main canon by involving Prismo, but apart from that it will be set in an alternate universe. It will be the first comic to feature Bubbline since 2019's Marcy & Simon miniseries.
The one-shot is written and illustrated by Caroline Cash, a long time Bubbline fan. This is her first comic for the Adventure Time franchise, though she also illustrated my favourite cover for Adventure Time (2025) #1.

==================
Also confirmed this month is the release date and price for Adventure Time Compendium Vol. 3, which will collect the stories from issues #61 to #75 of the 2012 run, as well as all the backup comics from the 2012 run (TBC). It will release on 31 December 2025 and retail for $50.
The cover of the softcover edition is from Adventure Time (2012) #72, and the cover of the hardcover edition is from #75. Both covers are illustrated by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb. Like with the previous compendiums, the hardcover edition will be exclusive to physical retailers and won't be available online.
