James Gannon – It’s been a couple weeks of inexplicable Muppet Comics news. That’s a phrase I haven’t been able to say in a while. Last year, BOOM! Studios’ Muppet license (soon followed by the rest of the Disney licenses) expired, just before the final arc was ready for publication. Roger Langridge, the writer/artist for…
James Gannon – Last year, Archaia announced the first of two volumes reprinting Marvel’s 1986 Fraggle Rock comic book. After a couple delays, it’s finally available in the form of Fraggle Rock Classics, Volume 1. The first four issues are collected in this soft cover graphic novel, digitally remastered, and recolored, plus with a wonderful…
James Gannon – A while back, I discovered a Star Comics Digest that had a great old Muppet Babies comic reprinted in between some pretty mediocre/decen comics. Since then, I vowed I’d dig up the old Muppet Babies comics I had and review them right here. I cleaned that closet out and I’m ready to…
James Gannon – Word broke out last week that Archaia Comics, the studio behind various adaptions of Jim Henson properties, is going to reprint the old 1980’s Marvel comics Fraggle Rock series into graphic novels. Among the stories being reprinted are “The Magic Time Machine,” “The Trouble With Being #1,” “The Monster That Could Be…
James Gannon – What comic can come out a month early the second issue, and a month late the third and let it not detract at all from its super-coolness? Why, Archaia’s Fraggle Rock Volume 2 – Issue 3 of course! Okay… you find a way to address that without sounding like it matters. The…
The opinions of our friend James Gannon do not necessarily represent the opinions of The Muppet Mindset as a whole. As always, we attempt to showcase all sides of the spectrum, so we are happy to display James’ thoughts on Marvel’s republishing of The Muppet Show Comic Book. James Gannon – Months ago, BOOM! Studios…
Fraggle Rock Comic Book Volume 2, Issue 2 James Gannon – When I say I can’t wait for the next issue of Fraggle Rock, I don’t mean it that literally. Only a week after Issue 1 of Volume 2 was released, Issue 2 came out. Now, to my understanding, this was just a goof up…
Fraggle Rock Comic Book Volume 2, Issue 1 James Gannon – It’s been a month after the Muppet Classics line ended with Muppet Sherlock Holmes and several after the end of “Muppet Mash,” but thankfully the void has been filled with glorious news. Archaia’s Fraggle Rock Comic Book has started up again, and with the…
Muppet Sherlock Holmes #4 “Musgrove Ritual” Written by Patrick Storck Illustrated by Amy Mebberson James Gannon – And so we come to the end of the Muppet Sherlock Holmes with Issue 4, “Musgrove Ritual.” Now, I’m doing things a bit different. Rather than a brief rundown of a plot, I’m just going to go right…
James Gannon – News broke out last week on Roger Langridge’s blog, The Hotel Fred, that he plans to leave The Muppet Show Comic Book. While there are some very personal reasons (which are his own business and I think we should keep it that way), he also feels that it’s time he moved on…
