IT WAS A DARK AND FROGGY EVENING! It’s time to cue the music; it’s time to dim the lights! It’s time to get things started as the Muppets return tonight! The show is about to begin at the famous Muppet Theatre, and the regular pre-curtain chaos has the troupe’s stalwart MC, Kermit the Frog, coming apart at the seams. In an attempt to de-stress, he settles down to read a few pages of a favorite old detective novel — only to get kayoed by an errant brick to the bean, leaving him laid out backstage as his co-stars try to coax him back to consciousness. But unbeknownst to them, Kermit has taken up the hard-boiled mantle of his fictional hero to walk the darkened streets of Dreamland, righting wrongs and cracking cases under the concealing cover of night. Flip Minnow, P.I., has no time for song and dance — not if he’s going to solve the baffling mystery of the Snoozing Sleuth! Legendary cartooning talent and Muppets comics veteran ROGER LANGRIDGE bellies up to the drawing table once more for an all-new tale of crime and pun-ishment with The Muppets Noir #1 — featuring clue-filled cover art from both the author and guest artist DECLAN SHALVEY, as well as an appropriately enigmatic DELUXE MYSTERY BLIND BAG! The Blind Bag contains two limited editions of the issue selected randomly from a range of variant covers exclusive to this offering — including a new original cover, colored blanks, and more! Please Note: The number of Blind Bags is limited, and allocations may occur.

Strange robots have flooded the streets of St. Canard, and only THE JUSTICE DUCKS can save the day! But even the combined might of STEGMUTT, GIZMODUCK, NEPTUNIA, MORGANA, and (of course) DARKWING DUCK may not be enough to stop the robots’ master: THE BOTHERER, who wants to transform innocent people into horrible stone creatures that will enable him to take over the city — and eventually the world!

Non avete mai visto un Thor come questo! [CONTIENE THOR: THE MIGHTY AVENGER (2010) 1-8 E FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2011: THOR THE MIGHTY AVENGER 1]

A stand alone Goon tale by acclaimed creative team of writer Roger Langridge (Fred the Clown, The Muppets) and artist Mike Norton (Battle Pug, Revival). When a brewing war between Mother Brewster''s clan and Kaiser Fishhelm''s Old Peculiar distillery breaks out, it looks to undermine the stability of the local unions. And the Goon can''t have that, can he? Witches... Fish Men... and Beer! It''s a calamitous mixture as the Goon and Franky try to keep the Brewer''s Union in line and chaos at bay.

From the Eisner and Harvey award-winning creator of SNARKED and writer of the acclaimed comic series D4VE comes this humorous, absurd adventure tale about a family on the run. Daggum Criminy''s peaceful life is suddenly interrupted as pirates invade his island, casting Criminy''s family out as refugees into the wild unknown in search of a new home. Soon, the Criminys find themselves hopping from one strange locale to another, each with their own bizarre environment, people, and challenges; putting Daggum and fam in constant peril as they search for a new peaceful place to call home.

Fred the Clown is fit as a fiddle and looking for love in this ode to silent cinema by an acclaimed cartoonist. This nearly wordless romp from master cartoonist Roger Langridge is the author’s paean to the silent, slapstick comedies of the 1910s and ’20s, spun for a contemporary audience, starring his most popular character. It finds our hero Fred pitching the woo to a lovely equestrian. But with matrimony-minded fathers, boorish beaux, and malicious mad scientists interfering at every opportunity, what’s a clown―and his faithful pig companion―to do? Langridge’s velvety grays evoke the silent films of his patron saint, Buster Keaton (and, in this volume particularly, the latter’s masterpiece, The General). His craft is at a zenith, and captures every screwball twist and turn of the heiress’s and our hero’s romantic roundabout.

Betty may have finally hit the big time, because movie star Lex Linton wants her to be his leading lady! But all is not what it seems…and Betty, Bimbo, Koko and the gang may have to escape the Underworld itself before it’s all over! More thrills, laughs and swingin’ tunes – just the way you like ‘em!

When a giant lion statue in Trafalgar Square comes to life and wreaks havoc on 1930s London, it seems like the perfect case for the world’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. With an overwhelmed caseload, however, Holmes recruits the help of three precocious young detectives-in-training (and one cunning golden retriever) to solve the mystery. Molly, Rajani, Humphrey, and Wellington (the dog) will have to work together and use all their wits if they are to uncover the truth behind the living statues and save London. But on the legendary Baker Street, nothing is as it seems and their biggest mystery might be the real identity of the famous detective who brought them together. Written by Eisner Award winner Roger Langridge (Thor: The Mighty Avenger, Abigail and the Snowman) and illustrated by Andy Hirsch (Adventure Time, Regular Show), The Baker Street Peculiars is a heartfelt and supernatural twist on the beloved world of Sherlock Holmes. Collects the complete limited series. “...a great way to make Sherlock Holmes approachable to younger readers...” - Nerdophiles
