Markley’s Fevered Brain: The Best Book You’re Not Reading: Boom’s The Muppets


Muppet Show

by Wayne Markley

As a youth, I was a huge fan of the Muppet Show. I loved the adventures of Kermit, Miss Piggy, Animal, Gonzo, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, and my personal favorite, Beaker. I found the show to be a unique mix of humor, entertainment, and downright fun. Over the last 40 years there have been very few attempts to adapt this quirky show into comic books, such as Marvel’s adaptation of the Muppets Take Manhattan. There are a couple of Muppet comics done in England and there is a Muppet newspaper strip (which someone should collect!), but there are not a lot of traditional American comics. Last year Boom Studios launched a series of Muppet comics.

Roger’s Comic Ramblings: Let’s Review – Muppets and Legacies


Muppet Show

by Roger Ash

My love affair with comics fluctuates. I’ve loved comics since I started reading them in the mid-to-late 1970s, and that’s one of the big reasons I’ve been a part of the comics industry for the past 20 plus years. However, as in any relationship, there are times I like comics more than at other times. Currently, I’m on a big upswing. I’m enjoying reading comics now more than I have in a long time. I’ve recently written about how much I’m enjoying the Marvel cosmic books, currently represented by The Thanos Imperative, and Jonathan Hickman’s writing on Fantastic Four (and in extremely cool news, he’ll be joined by artist Steve Epting on FF #583). So, I thought I’d share with you a couple other books that I’m loving right now – Boom’s Muppet Show and DC’s DC Universe Legacies.

Heroes Con 2010 report


Heroes Con floor Saturday afternoon

by Roger Ash & KC Carlson

Hi! In case you’re wondering where we’ve been (c’mon, play along), we just spent a wonderful weekend at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC. Convention organizer Shelton Drum put together one heck of a show that had something for everyone. If you’ve only been to conventions with a big publisher presence, you’d be in for a surprise at Heroes. There was everything from web comics, superheroes, to autobiographical comics. The only large publishers who had booths at the convention were Boom and IDW. There was still a DC and Marvel presence at the show through panels and creators, but this isn’t a publisher-centric show.
