Futurama Comics Issue [Insert number here]

[Reply #320 on:]

After reading the comments in this thread I am really, really thankful I do not live in the UK.

[Reply #321 on:]

I have actually sent Titan a letter to be put in the comic, explaining that they got the name of Kif's homeworld wrong. I did it in a nice friendly way, no raging.

[Reply #322 on:]

I stopped buying the UK comics and got the imported US ones because of shit like this (the questions and their answer)...

[Reply #323 on:]

You could just skip them, I'm probs gonna do that.

[Reply #324 on:]

Yeah one day when I want to start with my collection I'll be getting US.

[Reply #325 on:]

So the US wins for once? Yipee! Something we did RIGHT gains us attention!

Well, you did get Futurama and other things right, but okay...

*edit*

Just noticed something cool, in "Do You Want Fry with That?", when the Professor has made Bender virus free, he is holding the 9th/10th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver. I'm guessing Mike Kazaleh is a Doctor Who fan.

Wasn't there a story where the crew traveled through time in a porta potty? (Like the police box)

[Reply #328 on:]

I think so... I've only been reading since Spring 2011...

[Reply #329 on:]

Don't forget when Fry was homeless he lived in a TARDIS cardboard box... The guys making this are huge Whovians.

[Reply #330 on:]

That was the issue before last, #59 "Boomsday!", so it should be a fresh memory.

#32 "Doctor What"


Futurama Comics #61's info has been revealed. t could go either way.

[Reply #331 on:]

I like how Fry is the only member in his troop.

[Reply #332 on:]

I finally got the SDCC exclusive Delivery-Boy Man Comic!...only to discover it's been on Amazon this whole time, hahaha. And I had a gift card for there grr Can't wait to read it!

And I see what you guys mean about issue #59, the cover is even better made/thicker than previous issues. The American issue has written in letters in the back as well, not all about Futurama but about Bongo comics in general like The Simpsons...at least no one asked if Bender was some kinda of wonderful mechanical man hahaha...

[Reply #333 on:]

Just saw 2 possible titles for issues #62 and #63 on Wikipedia:

Lost Our Leela and Igner-ants is Bliss.

An issue about Igner and ants? Interesting...

[Reply #334 on:]

Maybe it's not about ants at all, ever think of that?

[Reply #335 on:]

Well if it was about Igner and ignorance (which is what 'Igner-ants' is obviously taking the mick out of), I imagine it would've been caled Igner-ance.

[Reply #336 on:]

Yes, kudos for dissecting the joke and making it not funny at all. I love redundant explanations!

[Reply #337 on:]

Anyway... Scanned this in since it's pretty well drawn, and it shows that the comics still have potential when Kazaleh isn't around...

Show spoiler

[Reply #338 on:]

If Mike drew that, it'd just be a 50s style house with a pipe running up the side with a top hat on.

[Reply #339 on:]

I was wondering when Freako would step in here for a minute

[Reply #340 on:]

He was just waiting for a suitable Kazaleh reference to setup an insult.

[Reply #341 on:]

Thanx for putting that pic up, DannyJC13. It is excellent, apart from one thing; Fry. Everything else looks great though!...

[Reply #342 on:]

No problem, sorry it isn't 100% straight, it's hard to scan a bunch of A4 papers that are held together by staples and are wrapped in a glossy, fairly heavy cover, while the other half dangles out of the printer.

I have the first 12 pages of Steampunk'd if anyone's interested... Scanning the whole thing in for a friend.

[Reply #343 on:]

Got my hands on the latest Futurama comic, and I have to say... I still hate the new logos but the thicker paper I guess I'm alright with. Personally I prefer that paper to be reserved to a book with a thicker cover but beggers can't be choosers as they say. I'll be interested in seeing how they utilize the pages dedicated to the Junk Mail and as I'll call it "Louis Lane's Behind the Scenes" page.

[Reply #344 on:]

Holy Bazingus. That actually looks like it'll be worth reading. I think my email's in my profile, if you want to send them to me...

[Reply #345 on:]

Steampunk'd? I'll finish scanning in the rest of it tonight/tomorrow and get them to you.

As I said, they aren't 100% straight, but I don't think that's gonna put you off reading it.

Also, 'nother page:

Anyone in the US read Issue #60?

[Reply #347 on:]

I didn't even know it was out, crap. I still have to read #59.

[Reply #348 on:]

I was away to go and buy it at the weekend but I couldn't be bothered going out to get it.

[Reply #349 on:]

You wouldn't have found it on the weekend, it's out this week and new comic day in the states is Wednesday. New York has just hit Wednesday 6:30 am or so, so I doubt the shops are open.

New comic day at my local comic shop in Sydney is Thursday, so I'll probably have read it this by time tomorrow.

[Reply #350 on:]

Ordered #60 few hours ago. #59 was good.

[Reply #351 on:]

I just picked up (USA) issue #59 the other day... and overall I didn't totally dig it.

Oh well, I've got a bunch of other issues and they are all mostly pretty good, flukes sometimes happen I suspose.

[Reply #352 on:]

Just seen info about Issue #62 on The Infosphere, I like the cover...

[Reply #353 on:]

#60 was crap. One of the worst issues ever.

[Reply #354 on:]

#60 was crap. One of the worst issues ever.

Damn, I haven't found it yet... I thought #59 was kinda bad.. I think #59 and #60 are both written by Boothby.. maybe he should take a break and refresh his ideas?

At least #62 is written by somebody different.

Just seen info about Issue #62 on The Infosphere, I like the cover...

 Fry crying like that IS funny.

[Reply #355 on:]

MuchAdo, the plot was already up.

Show spoiler

After being dragged through an asteroid field, Leela is found drifting in space with no memory of who she is -- that is until Zapp Brannigan claims her as his bride. Plus, in breaking news, Morbo gets his own back-up feature.

[Reply #356 on:]

Show spoiler

That reminds me of a fan fiction where Leela wakes up with no memory of Fry and Zapp takes advantage of her.

[Reply #357 on:]

I just found issue #60 today, and it is actually pretty good compared to issue #59.

I give it an 7.5/10 overall.

[Reply #358 on:]

Just read #59...if you haven't read it stop reading here (it's an older release by now so I am not spoilering it).

It was quite a funny read, the humor was there. But what in Robot Hell happened to the Fry storyline? Leela's character is so...off character with eggs. Like in Fry am the Egg Man, it was Fry who wanted to protect them, and here she wanted to eat them. These lapses in her judgment completely contradict events like The Problem with Popplers. I actually do enjoy her more like this though, one of the guys, not caring about anything. Her character development throughout the series has had so many twists and turns it's very difficult to follow any rational line of thought.

I enjoyed this comic, good funny read. But now I am to forget it never to think of it again, because the plot was very...mehhh.

[Reply #359 on:]

And Spoiler Alert about #59...

It's implied Zoidberg impregnates an owl and the owl gives birth to half decapodian half owl creatures... there are so many things wrong with that... where do I begin.

Trust me, I liked #60 much better.
