Not only have we heard about this we have been talking about this but there is another thread on this page aptly titled.
You can see the cover artwork here:
Planet Bongo Comics
Also, some info on the Crossover TPB was posted in that thread as well.

Plot:

Show spoiler

everyone on earth has disappeared. fry, bender and leela discover 3 time machine pieces. they also find out farnsworth has the 4th and final. they all get sucked into a vortex for some reason, and sent into different time periods. eventually they all meet up, stupidly. I cant remeber how. then thats basically it

the story is crap, and a waste of time. its unfunny too. what a waste of comics. DON'T BUY.

Doesn't seem very good and you say it's not funny that sucks.

Well, I haven't read it yet. (I'll probably buy the book when it comes out.) But having our 'Futurama' crew repair the fabric of space-time... (Can you say 'Back to The Future' parody?)
Although from what I'm hearing about it, it sounds like it would have made a much better movie.

Geez I thought it was pretty good when it first came out. I can't find the second issue anywhere so I'm happy it's being collected as a TPB. Ian Boothby is a very funny writer, I laughed out loud many times while reading it.

It depends on the person who's reading it. I'll buy it for the sake of being slightly less bored during my upcoming summer vacation.

If you ask me, it's worth it to get the comic version of The Time Bender Trilogy.  Don't waste your time getting the paperback.

[Reply #14 on:]

Don't listen to what The Mongoose said. It is a very good trilogy. It has #16-#19 in it. Yes, 4 issues for a trilogy story. That's because #16 sets up the plot for the actual trilogy (#17-#19). #19 comes out this month in Australia so I'll have just finished reading the trilogy before the book comes out.

I've got all four parts. #19 let me down. I was expecting something really good but sadly, there wasn't much there.
