What they got right: If The Muppet Show were coming back to TV, I would definately put Roger Langridge on the writing staff. He used to write Muppet comics for the now defunct Disney Adventures digest-sized comic, so he's had practice. The skits do feel like they come from the show, and I would love to actually hear Kermit sing that song in the finale. The subplot came close to making me misty, so there's some heart in the writing among the comedy.
What they got wrong: While I like Roger's writing, the art isn't as impressive, but I've seen the old newspaper comics the Gilcrest brothers used to do, and that was a lot better as far as matching the characters. Roger gets the generic Muppet style down, but specific characters, most notably Kermit for me, just doesn't live up. However, the writing is strong enough that this isn't that bad a distraction. Also, why is the variant cover just the back cover of both comics?
Recommendation: I've been reading reports about how this comic sold out, and I understand why. Definately worth picking up, but I'm looking more forward to Muppet Robin Hood from Boom Kids.
