The Muppet Show #1

I am quite pleased to see that kids' comics are making a comeback and that young readers are having greater choice at their local comic book shop. This book is a good read for any Muppet-fan, young or old. The creative team has done a great job keeping the style and playful comedy of the original show and movies while transferring Kermit and the gang to a new medium.

The art, panels, and colouring are all perfect, and the writer does an excellent job of creating a plausible linear story while peppering the tale with great non-sequitur comedy (my favourite panel is where Gonzo shows up out of nowhere and asks Miss Piggy if she wants an onion sandwich).

If you have a young one who is getting into the comic hobby, or if you want to stroll down memory lane, pick up this book; you will not be disappointed.
