Although originally planned for release in late 2010, the release was delayed. In February 2011, BOOM! Studios announced that they would no longer carry the Muppet comic license; it was later announced that Marvel Comics would be picking up publishing rights and reprinting the original Meet the Muppets comic book. BOOM! Studios founder and CEO Ross Richie released the following response regarding the comic:

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the team at Marvel are a group I respect greatly and consider friends. It’s exciting to see them republish Harvey Award-winning BOOM! content from the incomparable Roger Langridge. Susan Butterworth and the entire Muppet Studios team are fantastic people, and they were a joy to work with. With any luck, Roger’s unpublished FOUR SEASONS arc will find success on their publishing schedule.^[4]”
