The iconic heroes of the Marvel Universe will soon join forces with none other than Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and all the other Muppets. Coming in September is The Muppets Take the Marvel Universe #1, from a creative team that includes writers Chip Zdarsky, Mackenzie Cadenhead, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Adam F. Goldberg, Ashley Allen, Kyle Starks, and more. Artists include Pete Woods, David Baldeon, Áthila Fabbio, E.J. Su, Paco Medina, and Mike Henderson. This special comic celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Muppet Show, which recently returned to Disney+.(courtesy Nerdist)
Is there nothing the Muppets cannot do?
The answer is, of course, absolutely; they are amazing, funny, clever and always come out on top … and that’s even the case when they join forces with the legion of superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Nerdist has revealed that the gloriously wondrous mayhem of the Muppets will come together with the likes of Spider-Man and Deadpool and one of the writers, Chip Zdarsk is pretty excited about the idea.
With the great power of two iconic properties comes great responsibility. I promise not to let down Kermit, Fozzie, and Animal the way Spider-Man let down his Uncle Ben … It’s impossible to overstate how excited I am to write for Miss Piggy, who I consider to be one of the greatest icons of the last hundred years, a character who speaks to every generation. I also got to write Deadpool.
The first issue of The Muppets Take the Marvel Universe drops 23 September this year.
