Like a lot of websites, Amazon likes exclusives. If your ebook is available exclusively through Kindle, you get a few more perks to help it sell. With comixology under the Amazon umbrella, the exclusive originals program was a given. Today comixology rolls out Adventure Time Marshall Lee Spectacular from BOOM! Studios and Cartoon Network Enterprises. The comic is only available on comixology and Kindle and sells for $3.99… unless you sign up for comixology Unlimted, and then you get it free (even with the 30 day free trial).

The issue focuses on Marshall Lee, the Vampire King from the Adventure Time cartoon series. It features a cover by cartoonist Fábio Moon (Daytripper) and features 22 pages of story.

"Not Funny" The lead story features New York Times bestselling writer Mariko Tamaki (This One Summer, Supergirl) with artist Audrey Mok (Josie and the Pussycats) and follows Marshall Lee and his uncontrollable laughter at unfunny things.

"The Bravest Prince" Writer Melanie Gillman (As the Crow Flies) teams up with artist Trungles (Fresh Romance) for a story in which Prince Gumball witnesses Marshall Lee's fear of…flowers.

"Disqualified" Writer S.M. Vidaurri (Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Witches) joins with artist Asia Kendrick-Horton (Steven Universe) for a story in which Prince Gumball attempts to win a competition by trying to be more villainous than Marshall Lee.

"It's Not Hard To Be Bad" Written and drawn by S.M. Vidaurri closes out the issue by composing a song for Marshall Lee to sing while playing guitar in a spectacular one pager.

This is the first book in the comixology originals program that was announced in October and will feature future releases from Valiant Entertainment and Harvey Kurtzman.
