According to the Boom! Studios website, Boom! has gotten the rights to release a collection of Sesame Street comics, with many artists and writers attached to the project, including Roger Langridge, Mark Waid, Tim Beetle, and... get his... Joe Matheau.
Like The Muppet Show Comic Book series, the Sesame Street comic book series will have four-issue series, and will mix street stories with many short, unrelated comic sketches. The first four-issue series will be alphabet-focused. Each book will have a different plot, but the letter segments will be in alphabetical order, with issue one focusing on the letters A through H, issue 2 focusing on I through P, issue 3 focusing on the letters Q through U, and the final one focusing on letters V through Z. This four-part series will be followed by a numbers series.
And while characters, locations, settings, and sketches from all eras will be represented, the comic will have a retro 1970s look, and will primarily focus on what the show was like from the first 12 seasons. ELmo and Abby Cadabby will make appearances in every issue, though they aren't planned to be main characters, and be on the look-out for many old school characters like Roosevelt Franklin, Biff and Sully, Don Music, Simon Soundman, Sherlock Hemlock, Professor Hoastings, and many more.
Although Boom! is releasing both Sesame Street and Muppet comics, don't expect any major crossovers anytime soon, and don't expect kermit to be heavily featured in the Sesame comics. However, in issue one, look for a familiar green hand coming from the side of one panel during a big crowd scene.
