In September, The Muppets are coming to the Marvel Universe for the very first time with The Muppets Take The Muppet Universe #1 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Muppet Show.

We are getting Muppet comic books! There will be all-new stories uniting the beloved Muppet gang with iconic heroes of Marvel Comics. The new one-shot is coming after the 70th anniversary of The Muppets, and to celebrate the launch, more Muppet variant covers will be featured across titles throughout September.

“With the great power of two iconic properties comes great responsibility. I promise to not let down Kermit, Fozzie, and Animal the way Spider-Man let down his Uncle Ben,” joked Chip Zdarsky, Eisner-winning Mupepts super fan.
