Well, they come out every 3 months, so I'd assume in June/July-ish sometime.

Wait, 19?! Dude, I don't even have #18 yet! Did I miss an issue? Oh, please tell me that's a typo...

#19's the end of the Time Bender Trilogy, right? When did #18 come out? I bought #17 in fucking April...

Wouldn't be the first time I've back-ordered issues, I didn't even learn about the comics until #5, so I had to get the first four that way. Still, damnit!

I finally got it today, the art (by John Delaney) was very nice. His best yet.
The story...well. It was the usual "alien invasion"-type story we've seen before...but with a bit of a twist (with Fry's teeth and all). 5/5
I liked it...but something seemed missing. For some reason, to me, issues #17 to the newest ones seem as if they were made by a totally different company compared to the first 16 issues. Ever since the start of The Time Bender Trilogy, something hasn't really been right with the comics. I have US #26, and in the next few months I'll get the Australian #22-#25 issues when they come out, but judging by issues #17-#21, and #26, this trend will continue through the issues I still don't have.
I mean, the art and writing is still great, but it's just the way it actually IS written that seems to put me off. I love the first 16 issues, so I really want to know what has happened with the Bongo crew with these last few ones.

Exactly. I find on some page's, the comic doesn't flow . I'm not sure if it's just me, though. Btw, I found a mistake. On page 7, the bottom strip has the prof's lab coat coloured in half green and half white.

Well, I don't actually know if it's been released to bookstores by HarperPerennial in Australia yet, but I picked up the Bongo Comics edition of the new Futurama: The Time Bender Trilogy from Quality Comics in the middle of Perth. Even if you have the individual issues (like I do), it seems to flow better when it's actualy all together in the same book, rather than having to swap issues to keep reading on with the story, and also it's easier to carry just one book around than four separate issues. Overall it's really nicely printed. They've basically taken all the titles (eg: "Kickin' It Old School", "Time Bender Trilogy Part 1", etc) as well as the splash credits ("writer, pencils, inks" etc) off the first page and left just the art and speech bubbles, so you don't get distracted by seeing the story titles randomly placed throughout of every story, and just included the credits for each part of the trilogy in the table of contents. And at the back there's a gallery of the original art for the covers.

I liked the shippy bit in this issue though. Haven't really seen any romance that I can recall in the comics up til this one.
