Futurama Comics Issue [Insert number here]

[Reply #440 on:]

Nice Lot of near-complete issues #1-62 listed right now...

[Reply #441 on:]

If only I didn't own a majority of those already I'd be all over that like a kid on twinkies.

[Reply #442 on:]

FUCK YOU EBAY.  I DON'T NEED AN ACCOUNT TO BUY ALL OF THE THINGS!

[Reply #443 on:]

You got that right!

Evilbay!!

[Reply #444 on:]

i read #64. it's ok but i hate the cover. i like the myface joke. the rest of the book is typical Futurama, making the plot disappointing

[Reply #445 on:]

I hope #64 is out around the 14th for me where I live, right after BD Volume 7 is out on the 11th.

Woo-hoo!

[Reply #446 on:]

Comparative to some dissenting opinions I thought #64 was one of the best comics by far.  I got quite a few thorough laughs out of it and I cannot wait for the next one.  I am still unclear as to how bender gets drunk, or not Its kinda hard to grasp with how its presented.

To quote fry "Bender your seeing things, you've been drinking too much, or too little, I forget how it works with you.  Either way you haven't drank exactly the right amount."

[Reply #447 on:]

Futurama 64 has some really great art!

Grrr, #64 never came out where I live, but perhaps it still will someday soon??

Interesting that FUTURAMA COMICS #66  is written by Eric Rogers, b/c now that's the one I'm pumped for!

[Reply #450 on:]

I think the last one I got was 63? Damn you comics coming out faster than expected! To the evilbay!

[Reply #451 on:]

Quolnok, thank you for soliciting the new comics that's how I always find out what the new cover art looks like.

Don't you have a comic store near you, or at least a reliable one?

[Reply #452 on:]

Comic shops often get shorted some items, if that's where you've been going. It might be that they only re-request shorted items if people ask for it, and Futurama Comics probably isn't high demand there. My local seems to get their delayed items 2-3 weeks later.

[Reply #453 on:]

I finally got #64 right before Christmas and it's pretty good.

My comic provider is just getting slower at getting them..

[Reply #454 on:]

The nearest one near me isn't near me at all, I used to rely on my ex to pick them up for me as the store was located near his area >_<

Toys R Us was carrying them but then they stopped, I think. Barnes and Noble never had them. Borders always did

I just got 64 in the mail, but I am sitll like 4 or 5 comics behind! I need more time dammit!

[Reply #456 on:]

BTW, someone in NY has all the comics (mostly, I didn't look at every one) for sale individually starting at 99 cent bids it looks like, even Issue #1, so if you are looking for one particular issue that seems like a nice way to snag one up.

[Reply #457 on:]

Hey, the comics are bimonthly, so is the next release February?
Thanks for clearing this up in advance.

[Reply #458 on:]

the next comic is supposedly gonna be released later this month on the 30th. after that is March

[Reply #459 on:]

Thanks. I picked up older ones at random intervals and didn't know what the actual releases were.

[Reply #460 on:]

#65 has now been solicited: http://theinfosphere.org/Futurama_Comics_65. Paying a solar power bill to people on the Sun; Hmm, Son of the Sun, Ra-Ra the Sun King, someone else? Taking all bets!

Continuity? No.

#65 is out. None of the Sun's previously seen denizens show up.

Show spoiler

Nixon had sold the Sun years ago and was late to deliver the rent, so the aliens block out its light. PE crew are sent to deliver the check and wind up in a poker game while Wernstrom and Farnsworth try to respectively freeze and heat the Earth.

[Reply #461 on:]

Just picked up #65. Speaking of continuity, there are two big things that stood out to me:

Leela says they need to stop to refuel on their way to the sun, and Bender asks why they can't get Nibbler to poop some dark matter - Leela responds that he is asleep so they need to stop. No mention of the fact dark matter was rendered useless at the end of Bender's Game.
Two pages prior, Nixon refers to Agnew as "the headless clone of Spiro Agnew", which is an obvious reference to Into the Wild Green Yonder (which as we all know took place after Bender's Game)... Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

[Reply #462 on:]

I as well hope someone got canned for that blunder.

LOL! 

[Reply #463 on:]

Well it's (almost) about time to go check to see if they ever got this issue in at the bookstore.

Update: I just got #65, and it's pretty damn good.
Other than the use of Nibbler and dark matter, it was a good read.

[Reply #464 on:]

The new issue is slated to drop on March 27th at comic book shops and is written by Eric Rogers.

So that's April 17th for the news stands.

[Reply #465 on:]

Randifreak has suggested I advertise my Futurama comics on PEEL before I put them up on ebay, just in case anybody wants them and then I wouldn't have to worry about seller fees and such.

Issues #1-15. They're the Australian version, although I don't know if that makes them all that different to any other prints. They're in mostly good condition, only minimal signs of wear around the edges. There's a bit of smudging on some where there used to be a price label, or perhaps from storage, for example:



Oh, also, there's the individual Simpsons/Futurama Crossover Crisis comics, two two-parters. Infinitely Secret and Crisis II, I believe.

I would prefer to post within Aus if possible, unless you're willing to pay a bajillion dollars for overseas postage, for I am not. Aus postage would be about $7 for any amount of comics under 500g, eg the 4 crossovers, or $13 for all the comics with or without the crossovers. Unless you want registered post which is slightly more. Make me an offer I can't refuse, or something. Otherwise....to the ebayery!

[Reply #466 on:]

Yay you took my suggestion! Hooray! I'm useful!

[Reply #467 on:]

So true.

[Reply #468 on:]

#66 "The Board Game Games" is out and I guess Amphibiosan is canon now (it's a comic, but Eric Rogers wrote it).

[Reply #469 on:]

WTF you say???

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Kif's species is canon.....

[Reply #470 on:]

I'm pretty sure he means the name "Amphibiosan", which was never actually used on the show as far as I'm aware.

[Reply #471 on:]

Ooooh, well that clarity makes sense.

Leave it to Unreal to explain the seemingly inane.

[Reply #472 on:]

Yup. I'd considered throwing quotes around the name for clarity. I remember suggesting that name at the Infosphere and Wikipedia back in '06. If I recall correctly there was a lot of renaming going on in the Wikipedia article around that time (briefly Amphibiosians). Can't confirm it since they deleted the page. 'sphere's talk page confirms 'pedia settled the debate before us.

The term "Amphibiosan" is derived from the name of the planet and, while an accurate description of the planet's life forms, may not be the species' correct name.

Unfortunately that's still true.

[Reply #473 on:]

I'm really wanting the new issue, but I know it won't be out where I live until the 17th.

[Reply #474 on:]

The Board Game Games was alright, but as I said on Futurama Madhouse, it felt like something you'd see in a Simpsons comic (which I haven't read in years) but with science fiction added in.

[Reply #475 on:]

The Board Game Games had those small reference to The Hunger Games book/movie. It's wasn't bad, but for sure not my favorite.

[Reply #476 on:]

Bongo Comics for June
Bongo Comics for July - no Futurama Comics #68 (it is apparently due for UK release on 1 August in UK#067 with US#067)

[Reply #477 on:]

Yeah the new issue was just average, although I liked all the characters they used.
And it did have some pretty funny stuff.
But I also thought the art and coloring sucked.

Bring on the next one, I'm ready for a Zoidberg plot!

[Reply #478 on:]

After Zoidberg's issue in May... no more new Futurama comics for June, July, or August.

Has Bongo ended the series due to bad sales??

[Reply #479 on:]

Can't be, Futurama comics still carried on after the original run got cancelled. Why would they end it now?

*edit*

Sigh, you may be right.
