Yea, I thought the same thing as you Otis. Nice to see them mix things up a bit. OK, onto the comic itself. Story was different than what I thought it was going to be. Art was pretty good but had spots where it looked off or rushed. The story itself was decent enough and was glad to see Eric Rodgers contribute a story again after doing so many in the beginning of the run. I was hoping for more Space Boy stuff with Fry, Leela and maybe Bender fighting some aliens in some knock down drag out fights similar to movie epics like ID4 and Mars Attacks! Fry gets cast as the part of Space Boy but because he didn't read the contract (against the wishes of Leela) he doesn't realize that all the violence in the movie is real and the final scene has him getting killed! Luckily for Fry the ending of the story is leaked on the internet (when has that ever happened?) and so they need an alternate ending since the kill scene has been spoiled. So, rush out and by it already! And don't forget to email Bongo. This issue saw the return of the letters page but only at one page. Let's see if we can get a second page in issue 16. Oh, and there is a nice recap with some fun pictures from Bongo's time at SDCC. RM

There was something strange about that issue, I'll say in Spoiler! There was no advertisement for the next issue (#16) will there be one. But, the editor hasn't said anything and he would, right? And, they would have some sort of note; "Thanks for buying but it's the last". If you know this is true or if there will be a 16th issue please e-mail me.

Yeah, but still, it created probably the best page in the comic...

The best thing about this issue is probably the cover. Overall the actual comic isn't too bad, but it doesn't blow you away either. It has the same affect as issue 10. There are some good one liners but the story feels tired and uninspired. It's not clever or unique enough for Futurama. My ongoing grudge with artist John Delaney shows no sign of stopping. When will he learn to draw Fry!!!!? To be fair, this is probably his best effort so far. In some of the panels Fry is drawn very well, but then you turn the page to be shocked by Johns pure lazyness/lack of skill! I know I sound very negative, but I did enjoy this issue really. It's just very forgetable and if the comics are only going to be released 4 times a year, if all the issues continue this bland trend is it worth the wait?
Overall: 3/5 ***
