Steven Universe (comic series)

The Steven Universe Comic Series was officially released in August of 2014. It's a monthly comic series presented in a zine-like format of mini-comics, recipes, games, illustrations, and more. The main comic in each issue is written by Jeremy Sorese and illustrated by Coleman Engle, but the overall comic is published by Kaboom! Studios. It features new plots and characters that may or may not appear in the actual cartoon series and it's available for purchase in Hot Topic, comic book stores, and book stores across the world.

A sneak peek was featured in Adventure Time's Spoooktacular #1 as a teaser to the TV series, as well as being featured in Kaboom! Summer Blast for free comic book day.
