Hey guys on Monday is a pretty special episode for me. It’s the second part of a story that I seeded, that ended up splitting into two episodes: “Ghost Princess” and now “Sons of Mars”. The two episodes have nothing to do with each other now, just that they used to be one premise idea about Ghost Princess and Magic Man (and a lot of other stuff). After a few extensive meetings and talks with Pen, Kent and Pat, we figured out how to make a cool Magic Man sequel. Anyway I hope you enjoy it. I embeded some autobiographical elements into this one to give it some emotional heft. I don’t know if anyone will really see it except my brother. Also I’ve decided to start calling my partner Ako Castuera, “Acasta” in these promo pieces. I hope you don’t mind Ako.

I love Adventure Time! And I really see your hand in it after having read all the Forming panels.
Adventure Time land is a friendly land and I always enjoy my trips there.
Cannot wait to view this episode!
Also, excellent butt/nutsack nose on that tearful alpinist.
that alpinist is the Magic Man, from earlier AT episode where he teaches a lesson to Finn and others mmmh “City of freaks” I think was the title
sounds like a DJ!
“Cardiacs”
magic man has quite possibly the best moment in the series
EAT IT
holy crepes, jesse. that was basically adventure forming time. zirconium!
bizonkers!
the ending made me laugh like i don’t know what!
The moment i saw that trippy flying crystal person i knew you had to be behind it. I have to say your episodes are some of my favorites and this one was no exception, great stuff. I Am curious about how the story was before the split as i think the two episodes are quite different and self-contained. HOT DAMN i just properly looked at that promo piece. Olympus Mons. . .poor sad magic man.
You. You are all over this episode. Isnt that how Serapis got to earth?
It would be hard for me to recap the original outline because it really was completely different and painted Magic Man in a light that isn’t congruent with the world of Ooo after “Sons of Mars”. I like the way it turned out better.
Seriously, I love this show. Every episode has a wham moment and a light hearted happy moment.
Tiny Manticore rules, and is a good name for a band. I hope we see more of Magic Man in the future.
Ever thought about getting someone to animate Forming? I bet Adult Swim would do it, and it would be incredible…
Another great AT installment. I always loved them anyways, but your episodes are especially awesome. Haha I remember watching “Crystals Have Power” and then reading forming… easy to see your voice in both.
It’s like we’re best friends. The creepiest kind ever. Keep up the good work and release another Forming book so I can snatch it up yo!
Exploding after eating too much softy cheese seems like a pretty magic-man thing to do
I’m working on a show pitch right now that is a space opera comedy type thing.
As soon as the crystal dudes showed up I knew you had some hand in it. It was an amazing episode. Magic Man is the biggest douche in the best/worst way. omg.
I don’t remember this scene from the episode. This is the backstory I guess? The girl in the photo?
Yeah it’s the backstory.
Dude. I just watched sons of mars. It was pure gold. I cracked up when that martian came flying down with a diamond shaped head. So awesome. The way it talked to its other heads was so good. Anyway. As a fan of forming and adventure time it was a pretty fantastic episode.
