In response to: Links: Mickey Mouse loses a gig Alana Abbott commented: I just picked up The Incredibles #1 and have pretty good feelings about BOOM! Studios so far. I love that they're bringing The Muppet Show to a new audience. Thanks for the link, and the reviews -- I'm heading over to read them now.
