New Muppets comic!!
Many many moons ago Marvel's kiddy imprint, Star Comics, had a Muppet babies comic series (of which I have several issues). Starting in March the Muppets move to Boom! Studios (Home of Farscape and Eureka. And also starting in March, Cars).
The comic is called The Muppet Show. It's an updated comic book adaption of the old Muppet show series with the new muppets added (Rizzo's on the cover): http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stori...uppetshow1.jpg I love the frightened look Beaker has of being next to Lou Zealand. :lol: With Muppets and Cars (2 Disney properties) being in Boom! Studios perhaps Gargoyles can move there as well? |
Their eyes make them look terrible.
|
Nice one!
Hadn't heard of this (or Cars, either). But have seen that Boom! is doing a comic for The Incredibles as well. |
That's some scary looking stuff.
|
Eh, I think it's an interesting artistic take on the characters.
It'll be nice to add another comic to my list this upcoming year. |

I agree... this is a very interresting take on the characters' looks while staying pretty true to most of the characters... Gonzo looks way off, but not horrible... his nose needs more of a downward curve if anything. But I am LOVING that Beaker... he looks exactly how I think he would after years and years of explosions and manglings at the hands of Honeydew's experiments. |

Huh. I've never seen this before and I'm a HUGE Muppet fan! I'll have to check this out one of these days. ^^
|
ill admit im a little bit excited for this...
way back in the day nick would show the muppet show at 730 every morning and i'd watch everday. plus throughout the day MUPPET BABIES!!!! would come on several times and i and i freakin loved that show. i still do i just haven't seen it in forever. |
The Muppet Show was the **** back in the day.. still looking for it all on DVD... cheap

I just realized something on the cover of issue one out in March. GONZO IS THE WRONG COLOUR!!!! WTF?! SINCE WHEN IS GONZO GREEN AND PURPLE?! :ohwell:
Even on issue 2 he's green and purple :/ http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stori...ppetshow2b.jpg Also, another Muppets book is out in April. Muppet's Robin Hood with Kermit as Robin Hood, Gonzo as Guy of Gisbourne, Sam the Eagle as the Sherrif, and from the looks of the cover, Sweetums is Little John. :lol: http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stori...robinhood1.jpg This will not be the first (and I doubt the last) time the Muppets have done Robin Hood. In 1988 there was an Issue of Muppet Babies where again Kermit was Robin Hood but Gonzo was one of the merry men...and Fozzie was Friar Tuck. In 1990 there was a novel in which again Kermit is Robin Hood, but Rowlf was Friar Tuck with Fozzie as Little John and Scooter as Alan-a-dale. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Robin_Hood |
Gonzo's color scheme doesn't look that bad. It's just a comic book, anyway; probably came out like that because of the way it was printed. I'd be more concerned about Fozzy's freaky-eyes.

*runs around with hands waving* Yay!!! The new Muppet Show book is out next week (March 25th )! :D
|
Raph's girl no offense but you may be color blind as that's not green it's a shade of blue on good old gonzo's nose.
& yeah I'm excited for the first issue also :) |

Welp the comic is now out and guess what... the cover's slightly different! Gonzo is the right colours! :lol:
http://i43.tinypic.com/282hwur.jpg Major difference from the one shown in December.. After reading the first Issue... It was funny and supposed to be the Muppet show returned in a new format (they know they're a comic). But the main story with Kermit was kinda depressing. Plus Gonzo changed colours every panel! Basically Spoiler:
|
I read it yesterday in the store. It was alright. I still think that as soon as Henson died, the Muppets lost their charisma and wittiness. Some of it is still good, but Henson was just on top of his game, and they were too when he was around.
|
i read it yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. some of it was kind of sad but it was pretty cool that they tried to make it basically another episode of the muppet show a few classic sketches thrown in there. it's kind of got me in the mood for muppets now too, so i think we're gonna watch the muppet movie tonight.
