Bongo made a blog post about their new logo, and how they're improving eveything, here.

I just won Issues #1-10 off e-bay yesterday XI already had 8 9 and 10 but couldn't find all the rest). All I need is number 11 and I got them all. I have the paperbacks but ...nothing like seeing the paper comic and flipping through it in person. Also I wanted to see the write in letters they had at the time from fans, supposedly Jon (bart182) was in one of them or so he claims. I will find out shortly if he is a liar or not!

Hm, well, surprisingly, the American ones are easier to come across online, and in stores. But the UK ones are 2 US issues in one, it includes fan mail and a poster. But it only comes out like every 4 months. US issues come out every 2 months, but they're like A5 sized, UK is A4. It's 50-50 for pros and cons. Subsribe to the UK version here.

*bump* So thanks to my Dad (long story), my name is now going to appear in a Futurama comic. Written by Eric Rogers. (Of course.) Woo!

No. Not unless enough people ask me to.

Well my Dad, knowing that I'm a huge Futurama fan, tweeted Eric saying he should put my name in an episode. He said he probably couldn't, but he could get it in a comic, then someone else tweeted saying "DannyJC13" sounds like a robot, then the Infosphere asked if they could be in it or mentioned on a commentary, etc...

She's right, a lot of stores (not just comic, but gift and novelty too) will gladly take your name down and keep it on file when a product you like comes in. It's only courtesy and exudes great customer service.

For sure, and thanks for the advice, guys! In my case, I'm just a bit curious about the comics and want to check a couple of them out in the flesh. Of course, if I knew that there was a specific issue coming out with a PEELer reference (e.g. DannyJC13) , I would ask the retailer to special order and/or reserve one for me.

I have no idea what issue it will be or when it will come out (most likely late 2012/early 2013, at a push mid-2013), but he'll let me know when it's all ready and stuff. I hope the DannyJC13 character is going to be some kind of robot butler.
Doubt it'll be a character, maybe just a mention...

So Bongo released loads of info on their huge revamp, and I think a preview of upcoming comics, now, I dunno if this is from a new comic or not, but it looks pretty cool: (Bender and the Professor in the middle, obviously...) More here. Oh, oh, I also asked Eric Rogers would Futurama be getting any spin-off comics, because The Simpsons have loads, he said: we are trying -- I want to do a Zapp-Kif spinoff, so keep your fingers crossed that it happens.

Quolnok, that avatar is a great one for several reasons. Here are a couple:
As far as I know, nobody really prominent uses it.
It's so thematically apropos to this thread.

Back to the comics... So I missed out on the SDCC Delivery Boy Man exclusive for conditions out of my control and for a while I saw it on the eBay in a few places but now I can't find it I check periodically for it though, so if anyone happens to stumble on it before me...please give me a shout out, thanks!

Haven't they all been glossier pages for a while now, or are you saying it is even better than before?

Holy crap, I got the new issue in the post today, 5 days early! And to my surprise, it's got the new refreshed logo on it! Bongo/Titan have really put effort into something for once. Gonna check out the full thing later anyway... *edit* Think I'm gonna pop a bloody blood vessel in a minute... First of all, 2 of the pictures sent in are by 10 year olds, and one is by AN 8 YEAR OLD! Secondly, a 14 YEAR OLD boy, yes, that's my age too, has written in some questions, the first one being: 1. Is Kif an alien?And this one sounds like bloody Fry: 3. How did Professor Farnsworth become smarter?AND THIRD (rage is bursting now), SOME KID HAS ASKED WHEN NEW SIMPSONS EPISODES ARE COMING ON! Oh no... This is too far... In response to the Kif question, the mail room guy replied with: "He is indeed - he's from the Planet Amphibi!" THAT'S NOT EVEN IN THE SHOW! IT'S AMPHIBIOS 9!
