Muppet Robin Hood #4 of 4
Boom! Kids Comics
Beedle, Villavert Jr, Valliant & Aum
Muppet Robin Hood is seriously competing with The Muppet Show series for being the definition of what is the definitive hysterical and fun read. The first three issues have been great and the finale outdoes them all. In a surprising move the comic relies on the supporting cast to carry the brunt of the story and it works very well. Sure, Kermit and Piggy have their roles in it, but its Friar Tuck (Fozzi) and the Merry Men that make this comic so special. This is a winner all the way through.

Muppet Robin Hood #2 of 4
Boom! Kids Comics
Beedle, Villavert Jr & Aum
The second installment of the Muppets acting out a variation of Robin Hood is hysterical. The comic has a lot of the vintage elements of the Robin Hood story and it covers a lot of ground, but it is the humor that makes the comic stand out. The comic has a couple of oddities to it and the characters don’t entirely feel like the regular characters as they are partially in roles and partially in their normal characterizations. The comic is fun and packed with entertainment and that’s really all that you can ask for.

The Muppet Show #4 of 4
Boom! Kids Comics
Langridge
Roger Langridge wraps up his four issue look at the Muppet Show this week with a case study of Miss Piggy. As we’ve seen in the previous three issues, the character has a small plot built around them to showcase their personality mixed in with various Muppet Show skits which don’t always have to do with overall dilemma of the main character. This month’s effort is very good because the plot that is created for Piggy also manages to hook in plenty of the other characters giving the comic some depth. I also found the comic to have more subtle humor during the character’s interactions. I definitely enjoyed this comic a lot and it might be my favorite of the four.

Muppet Robin Hood #1 of 4
Boom! Kids Comics
Beedle, Villavert Jr & Aum
The second mini series from Boom! Studios about the Muppets hit shelves this week and it’s more of a story arc then the one shots that resemble the TV show as seen in the other series. This approach has plusses and minuses. The first issue rolls out the characters, which is necessary because they are in Robin Hood roles. So, in that regard, the issue is sort of slow. There are some laughs and there is a certain amount of mystery surrounding the obviously absent characters, but the issue is on the slow side. I liked it but didn’t love it.
