I just read it and it was great. It was worth the wait. I love the Glitter, joke. I don't think people have made fun of movie enough.

Nice comic. The buffer Bender was very funny, but the rest was very ordinary.

This is definately not the last Futurama comic. James Lloyd is currently pencilling an issue and I'm pencilling a three-issue story written by Ian Boothby.
I understand there are many more issues to come. Not that it's written in stone but I know there's still more Futurama goodness on it's way.BTW I gave this issue a 5 because of Eric Roger's hillarious script, Phylis Novin's fantastic inks and the amazing color work.

The only thing that I think saved this issue is a few good jokes, but the story was poor, a real downer after #14.

Well, I finally got it. This issue was really clool, and entertaining. Nice storyline, and interesting new characters. I loved how Dr Zoidberh tied into the plot so importantly, even though the reader doesn't realise it till near the end. I felt the mutant scene was particuarly effective, the colour and tone of it. The only problem I had was that in some of the panels, Fry was drawn terribly! It was crap! But some of the artwork was really top-notch, so maybe the artist just coudn't get the hang of Fry?

Anyway, another very cloolsome comic on the whole.

I bought both Futurama-o-rama and issue 15 and I have to say that the 3 issue was a lot better than the 15th one. But it is the only source of futurama that is still going strong, so I gave it a pretty high rating.

Hey El Barto
I hate to break it to you but the comic had nothing to do with Futurama being cancelled. It's called low ratings due to inconsistent positioning in the FOX scheduling.
This issue was great! Very funny.

P.S. it's called Futurama not Futrama

I live in Australia and this issue was only released here on 5th October 2005...but it was GREAT!! I loved when the director said he wanted to make a live action "Simpsons" movie and Fry said "Well, it's about time!" Classic.

Another good issue, not as good as the last one but still pretty cool. The artwork was average but there were some pretty funny moments in there and is that a Decapodian on page 1?
Great issue - hooray for hallucinations!
