Looks like the reviewers are finally starting to see Kazaleh's flaws (horrifically, they've usually always given him decent reviews, ugh). This is for #49: http://www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/127515331845660.htmLeela's stressed out state may explain why she looks so frumpy. Mike Kazaleh and Dan Davis are off their game this issue. The proportions of Leela's head are out of synch. Admittedly, Leela's a Cyclops, but the monocular isn't the problem.
Leela’s upper lip and nose aren't large enough. The usually brilliant Art Villanueva adds to the problem. The way he applies lipstick makes Leela resemble a clown. With the too heavy fuchsia ring girding her mouth, Leela's lips consistently distract, and not in a good come-hither way either.
Leela's wardrobe needs an extreme makeover. When she's in her flight clothes, she looks a little better, but she's not svelte enough. At times she appears squat, and her hip size quadruples.
Perhaps, Kazaleh and Davis are attempting to make a statement about the link between weight gain and fatigue, but a book like Futurama Comics relies heavily on visual consistency, and nobody in the book points out how unusual Leela looks.
Things grow worse when Leela is alone. The horrid hot yellow full-body night dress she wears is completely out of character. In the scenes I've seen on Futurama, Leela wears tank tops and briefs to bed. So, either everybody dropped the ball on this one, or they're trying to say something that isn't very clear. I actually agree with their review wholeheartedly. The art was horrid even for Kazaleh, and that brought the issue down a lot for me. A simple switch of artist to James Lloyd or even John Delaney would push the grade up quite a bit, in my opinion.

So I just read #50, and the most hilarious panel in the entire comic was the second on page 28. To do such an epic parody and then throw it away was great. Would've loved to have an actual story with the combination of all those characters.

Well I just blew a crap load of money of futurama previous comics. I got volumes 15-24, 40-45, 1, 5, 9-11. It cost me $117.00 for all of that. I also got a signed volume 50 and the first issue of delivery boy man. That was another $100. I feel like shit, I spent that much money. O well, a little debt never hurt anyone I guess.
Now I need volumes 25- 29, 46-49, 2-4, 6-8, 12-14. I some times wander if being a collector is worth it. Probably not, lol.
Does anyone know when they will be releasing comic compilation number 5? I have the first four and I was wandering if anyone heard anything.

Lots o' stuff there. No word on another compilation yet, unless you count the tri-monthly "collectors editions" in Australia or the triannual double issues in the UK (I don't). By the way, I'd very much appreciate it if when you got done reading Delivery-Boy Man you helped out with the credits section on the Infosphere from the back page or possibly title page of the comic. Those details don't seem to be anywhere. The Delivery-Boy man comic @ comicon 2010 was given for free or you had to buy it?
It was given out free. There may have also been a paid for signed version though, like there was for #50.

Maybe they are starting a new comic book series, that is my guess.

I got my signed copy of issues 50 today in the mail, it is 109/200. It is pretty awesome and my copy of Delivery Boy man. Now the only issues I need from the series is number 4 and 26. If anyone gets any leads let me know.

Eh, fan mail, I could take it or leave it. It does not bother me either way. Good to know though.
