One of the all-time fan favorite couples on the long-running Adventure Time series was Marceline the Vampire Queen and Princess Bubblegum, who had a long, messy road to finally getting together. One of the things that fans felt a BIT disappointed about during the series was that the show really only got them together as a couple towards the end, so there haven't been THAT many stories featuring them together.
That is being solved in a big way by Oni Press, who will be releasing the first Adventure Time Pride Special for next month's Pride Month, with the release of Adventure Time Pride Special: PB & Marcy's Infinite Mixtape #1, and CBR has an exclusive preview of the special, which is on final order cutoff this coming Monday!

What happens in the preview pages?
In the preview page, Marcy and PB are working on new music (after some smooching, of course), and then we discover that Princess Bubblegum has actually created a mixtape of music that she has never played for Marceline before bassed on their relationship.
When they play the music, they flahback to where they were in the past, but the problem, of course, is that there have been a number of complications in their relationship over the years, and Marcy is sometimes prone to flying off of the handle, and so we see her freak out about flashing back to what she thought was a terrible date, but PB, of course, has a different perspective on things.
Writer Rosie Knight noted, in an Oni press release, "I grew up on Adventure Time, and journeying in the Land of Ooo with BMO, Finn, Jake, Marcy & PB got me through a lot of tough times with some of my most precious people. So I'm honored to get to team up with the unbelievably talented Evgenia to add our own very gay and very strange twist on everyone's favorite healing situationship. Get ready to laugh, cry, and meet two new terrifying villains inspired by one of the most legendary Adventure Time foes ever."
Adventure Time Pride Special: PB & Marcy's Infinite Mixtape #1 is on final order cutoff this Monday, so be sure to tell your local comic book retailer to order you a copy!
