Muppets Comic

http://comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=2275&disp=table

Boom! Studios releases a Muppet Show comic today, created by Roger Langridge. CBR has an 11 page preview. More information about the mini-series can be found here.

This was obviously created with a lot of love, but I always have mixed feelings about re-hashes that read more like tributes and don't bring anything new to the table. I'm worried this suffers from "in the box" thinking. If I were Boom! Studios, I would've gathered every artist with an interest in the property and had them each do a short piece to create a massive anthology style work. 4 issues of 22 Langridge pages feels like something that exists only for the fanboy and fangirl completists.
