Futurama Comics #17

[:]

Here's the official description:

"Fry, Leela, Bender, and Cubert return to Earth from last issue’s outer space adventure at boarding school only to find the planet Earth complete uninhabited. But before they can figure out where everyone has gone, they are forced to defend the planet from alien invaders who try to claim it under Intergalactic Planetary Salvage Laws. Fight the Future with Futurama Comics this May!"

Written by Ian Boothby, art by John Delaney.

Damn, im still in the proces of collecting 3-16.  I got some catching up to do!  Sounds good though

[#2 :]

May? man, thats ages.

[#3 :]

Sounds awesome though, and I'm sure it'll be worth the wait 

[#4 :]

I myself just got issue 16 today. I still need to buy issues 14 and 15. #17 sounds great.

[#5 :]

its the last one?

[#6 :]

Luckily not.

[#7 :]

There's at least two more issues after it, which means the comic's outliving the show by at least a year.

[#8 :]

Bongo says, the comic will last way longer than just a year.  I hope they go up to triple digits.

[#9 :]

If the comic continues for a few years it will quickly be known as a comic that had a TV spin off at one point :P

[#10 :]

Right now the series is planned through at least the end of 2005. This will take it through issue 23 as well as the second Simpsons Futurama Crossover happening the beginning of next year.
Since I know the question will come up shortly in this thread the next TPB will be called Futurama Adventures, will contain issues 5-9 of the comics and will come out sometime in July.

17 is sounding good.
time to go for a few months without food, water, or sleep, waiting for it. 

[#12 :]

Good. It'll replace the pain of having to wait for season 3 for so long.

[#13 :]

Cool, another Futurama-0-rama book.
In pokemons words (ish)  "gotta collect 'em all!"

[#14 :]

The story for issue 17 sounds really good.  Since it picks up on the end of 16, I'd better get to reading it!

[#15 :]

where can i sign up to recieve these comics, and also pick up the first 17 that ive missed?

[#16 :]

Your best bet is probably to just search comic book stores and ebay & other places online that sell comics.  You might have a hard time finding the earlier issues though.

[#17 :]

Not neccessarily. I got issues 1-7 and 9 from ebay all in one comic book lot. In my opinion, ebay is your best bet.

[#18 :]

Crapidelphia, I still haven't got 15 or 16. I should get on it.

I've had incredible luck with the comic book store... I found #2 around the time #10 was released there, so it was nice to have two comics to read instead of the presumed one. Thank you, Boulder Time Warp Comics, for making my day that much better!

[#19 :]

Why won't issue #17 be out until May?  I guess I'll just order some back issues at my local comic book store.  What's with the delay? 

[#20 :]

yea i knew there was gonna be a delay but this is just no fun! but i cant wait for 17 and the next book to come out so its worth the wait
if that made any sense

[#21 :]

The delays because the comic is turning from bimonthly to quarterly.

[#22 :]

I wonder what's causing the delays, it's suppose to be published six times a year.

Anyway, I hope we see an issue devoted solely to Zoidberg soon!

this stinks, they dont sell futurama comics many places in new york city. i got the 16th in florida on spring break. does anyone know a good place to get them in NYC?

[#25 :]

Just wondering, do some of the comics follow the episodes? I never read a Futurama comic before put I'll pick one up when I'm at the Cidadell Mall next time.

[#26 :]

I know for some reason Boarders carries Futurama comics(thats where I find mine, in the New York area), so I guess you could try there, Zoidbergrocks

[#27 :]

Futurama #17 will be cool!

[#28 :]

Thanx, but t this mall there's a comic shop. They have all the best, Lara Croft:Tomb Raider, Spider-Man, & Futurama!

[#29 :]

I don't read the comics, but I know everyone else does, so I'll post the link that's on CGEF. http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/diamond.cgi?action=list&title=MAR042331&snumber=1
Have fun preordering!

[#30 :]

Forgive my ignorance, but are they still making new Futurama comics? And if so, how often do they come out and when is #18 due? If someone could answer this for me, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you

[#31 :]

Yeah they're still making them, they come out every 3 months(ish). Not totally sure when #18 is due, because there might be delays. As for #17, it should be out around late May/early June...

[#32 :]

I already have #17

[#33 :]

YOU LIE! YOU LIIIIIEEE!

[#34 :]

Shadowstar tells the truth, THE TRUTH!...

[#35 :]

You can't have #17 already since It hasn't come out. are you thinking of 16: "Kickin' It Old School"?

[#36 :]

i cant wait

[#37 :]

I think you can all live till May/june. It won't be the end of the world.

[#38 :]

by the way australia is going, i wont be seein' that comic in years

[#39 :]

Man... i loved #16, but i've got about 5 issues that i need to get. the first time i found out about Futurama comics was with issue #14. The next one i got was #15... that's when i relized that i needed to track em all down.

So far, i've gotten #'s: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, and 16... oh and FUTURAMA-O-RAMA (as a gift). i got 1, 5 and 6 from a video/comic book store; 2, 4, 8, 9, and 10 i got from a REALLY nice comic book store that ordered them for me; and of course i got the latest 3 new from Borders. as for the remaining 5 i still need, the "comic book lady" is ordering them for me aaaaaaaallll the way from California.

oh, also I got #16 at some little Walgreens-ish store. it was really wierd, becasue they only had a few titles, the Simpsons, and Futurama. now i dont have to drive 30 minutes to the borders.
