“It Came from the Nightosphere” DVD Arriving March 6
So we guess Adventure Time’s first DVD, My Two Favorite People, did pretty well, or at least well enough to warrant a new DVD collection. And while this isn’t the full-season set lots of us have been anticipating (it’s in the works, we should point out), this set will make the wait for that release a bit more endurable. Here’s the full dirt from Cartoon Network. And, sorry, there’s no cover art, yet.

Television critics and entertainment writers have also found themselves drawn to the land of Ooo and hypnotized by the characters and adventures they’ve seen. Among other accolades, USA Today.com proclaimed “I will never forget the words Adventure Time,” and “I wish shows were as imaginative, funny and bizarre as this one” while Entertainment Weekly.com named Adventure Time to its list of The 25 Greatest Animated Series Ever, adding “Adventure Time makes me wish I were a kid again, just so I could grow up to be as awesome as the kids who are currently watching Adventure Time will be.”
