Sesame Street comics coming fall 2012 from Ape Entertainment

[Drtooth]

If nothing else, we're getting a free one.

Too bad the flipside comic is Strawberry Shortsheets, though.

Cool! Except...am I the only one a tad alarmed by the heavy featuring of Elmo on the cover? I really don't want this to become a comic based majorly on Elmo...but you can't judge a book by its cover, I suppose.

I have yet to see this at G-mart in downtown Champaign. It's nearly the end of the year, and we have just a few weeks before Christmas. No sign of this comic around the Champaign Urbana area yet.

The first comic released will be in May on Free Comic Book Day.

I don't know if that's exactly the case. I never really followed Ape (I miss out on Penguins of Madagascar), so I don't know if they introduce things on FCBD or they use it to promote a line that's just out (Like Boom typically does). Ape doesn't submit previews to Comicbookresources or anywhere like that. Maybe it is and isn't... I just don't want the lousy surprise of seeing a Sesame Street comic the day 2 others I collect pop up.

I assumed that that is the case based on TP's report, but you're right, they may not. I was more just simply expressing the point that the reason tutter_fan hasn't found them is because none are out yet.

From TP, the first issue will have six different covers, five of which make this very pretty interlocking image

 

[Drtooth]

And we have a confirmed month in which these come out in. April.

Great... that's when Boom starts up Regular Show.

Too bad there's no sign of whether any obscure classic-era characters will be included. Hopefully they'll be included even if they're not on the cover (at first I was worried that Boom would ignore anybody who wasn't on the first cover, and obviously we got many obscure characters in the Boom comics).
