The funny has landed in Futurama Comics. Rogers' script and the artwork are good enough to be televised. Read Full Review
Like approximately 50 percent of all Futurama stories, we kick off this issue with the crew being given a package to deliver to a distant planet. What they think is a shipment of food, though, turns out to be a highly volatile substance ordered by a group of cannibal robots attempting to cast off the shackles of an evil corporation controlling their destiny. Truly, only in Futurama can one type such a sentence. Anyway, Fry, Bender and Leela set out to free the robots and both destruction and hilarity ensue. The problem with this issue is that it actually gets a little too broad for the humor to be effective. With a set-up like this, Eric Rogers is set to mock any number of war or disaster movies, but instead of focusing on any specific targets, he gives us a kind of generic sci-fi story. There are good puns and gags, but nothing to make this story stand out, especially in contrast to other, better Futurama tales. --Blake M. Petit Read Full Review
