You say- It's out right now. I translate that to- It'll be out next month.
Bongo comics take FOREVER to deliver here. I don't get it. -_-

It had a good storyline, but it felt to me like it was moving too fast. Anyway, the artwork was good for a change. Some of the artwork in previous issues were terrible! It also had some pretty funny gags and lines in there, especially from Bender. It had some pretty good moments in there too. I won't say what happens though, I won't spoil it. Overall, I give it a B

It is a good issue, the artwork is the best it's been for a long time. I felt that the humour started off very quick-fire but lost momentum. The story parody was decent although the Magmoids were another one of those characters which wouldn't have been good enough for the show. Overall awesome stuff though...

I usually hate when comics based on a movie or TV show use characters that have no relevence whatsoever in the story. But sometimes it turns out good, but most of the time it's bad.

They need the money from these ads, so they took out Matt's editorials (which there were very few of anyway) as well as the fan-mail page, so they can fit in more ads, get more money, and bring you your Futurama release every two months or so. This is really sad, more people need to buy these Comics. I have always worried that it could end any time through lack of sales. The adverts are annoying and most don't even apply to me as I get the US versions and I'm in England, however if they are keeping the Futurama Comics afloat then I am thankful...
