Zoidy, you have a point. If Leela and Fry are going to be a couple in the new movies, then won't the comic have to be like that too?

It's a theory, Sonic. Rather, it's pretty much false now. We pretty much know for sure that Leela will be marrying (though not the whole way for it to be legal) somebody else besides Fry in the upcoming movie, except we just don't know how she became engaged in the first place. I know on the commentary for "The Why of Fry" or (not as likely) "The Sting", they do mention that the Fry and Leela should get together in a four-episode movie. The writers could either conclude the Fry and Leela relationship in "Into the Wild Green Yonder", or they put their money on a renewal and intend on giving a conclusion later in another four-episode movie.
Talking about the comic, I was about to post this one, but then I realized that ivan_fry always posts the upcoming comic, and left the duty for him. It seems pretty sweet and shippy- just based on the cover. However, there are A LOT of comics that might have shippy covers to them but don't have any involvement between Fry and Leela (namely issue 14, "Six Characters in Search of a Story", Fry and Leela are terrified and are holding each other). I don't think they want the comics to go deep with the Fry and Leela relationship, but they still acknowledge that they are more than "just friends". The two do have their moments in the comics, but there really isn't anything hardcore. The most hardcore comic would be issue 12 ("Sideshow Fry" ), but their relationship returns back to normal at the end when Fry doesn't die.

If Sideshow Fry was "hardcore" we shouldn't set our hopes to high on shippiness in the comics. :P

Frida Waterfall-I definitely now think that Leela won't be marrying Fry. but, in a review I read it said there would be more shippiness between Fry and Leela. So, maybe Fry does something so amazing and reveals some strange fact about the guy Leela's marrying...

I know for a fact that the Fry and Leela relationship will be included in "Bender's Big Score", but we don't know in which form... However, we don't know if their relationship will be included in the three following movies, though I believe it will appear agian in the fourth movie (Ken Keeler's writing). Oh, to keep on topic, the comic still looks nice. Hate to be anal, but they messed up slightly on the coloring of Fry's jacket. There. That's my two cents on the comic.

It's there, alright. The bottom rim of his jacket is blue like his jeans (miscolored). Told you I'm anal.

Are you sure that's not actually part of his jeans? *squints more*

Futurama Comics #34
By Rogers and Kazaleh
A thousand years ago, Philip J. Fry bought a star from the star registry for his girlfriend Michelle, which has since been upgraded to planet status. After being rebuffed by Leela for the 1,000 th time, Fry reconnects with his the 30th century-shy ex, and together they inhabit a planet all their own.
Be transported to a whole new world (really) this November!

Fry has gave up? On doing the one thing he is most persistent on getting? It's the apocalypse! It'll be interesting how the comics handle Fry's decision to stop asking Leela out. They never brought it up in the series because the crew was trying to wrap their relationship up a bit for closure. It's possible while Fry and Michelle are out on their new planet, Leela could be back on Earth, regretting all the times she rejected the opportunities to see Fry as a potential mate.

No, no, no, Davey. This is the kind of error that is meant to be comedic.
Or, the star could have been a member of a binary system subjected to the time skips and which aged quite rapidly, resulting in it prematurely collapsing into a neutron star, which was then terraformed.

Well, they do seem to have control over gravity in the 31st century, so I wouldn't say that it would be impossible to do so, but it would probably be easier to terraform someplace less hostile to human life (like, say, a main sequence star, or pretty much anything else, short of a black hole). Nahh, not necessarily. No one knows what's inside a neutron star, exactly. Neutrons, presumably, but it what form? Science fiction usually refers to the material as Neutronium, although in 'professional' circles it's known as 'neutron degenerate matter'. Either way, it's mysterious. So, one could assume it's been 'mined' of it neutrons and other such pseudo-valuable sub-atomic casserole. That might bring the mass within human-acceptable ranges. And seeing as how the original owners now own a lump of useless rock(-like substance), they file for a change in the building code and get it reclassified as a planet, which they then pawn off to what remains of the star registry under the fancy, straight-from-the-ad-agency term of an 'upgrade'. Or it could have become a cold preon star, in which case, it's got the mass of Earth and a diameter of five meters. Add Fry and Michelle into the setting and letter'rip. (Note: All of my above speculations have assumed that the star-that-is-now-a-planet is in orbit around a star-that-is-still-a-star, meaning that the original composition of the system was binary.)

I thought they had a new artist, though! I'm getting very close to stopping reading these comics for the one reason that Kazalah's art is awful. Even I could draw better in that style.
