This is the conclusion of the time bender trilogy. It was pretty damn exciting. I liked Hermes saying 'what plan is that?'
Funny.
Did anyone notice when Fry got punched by the omicronian he was wearing handcuffs but on the ground they were off? Are we to believe these are magic handcuffs?

Overall it was a really, really good continued story!

I'm sorry to say, I was very disappointed with the conclusion. The first two (or three counting the prelude) comics in this series were fine. Unfortunately, the conclusion seemed so rushed that it was virtually impossible to keep up. The plot didn't really go anywhere - Bender, Fry and Leela are trapped in various locations and time periods...and then they leave. And thats it. The plot degenerates into something totally preposterous (not to sound like Cubert) even by Futurama standards, and the way that the whole complicated mess is wrapped up in a few pages, with no difficulties along the way, is all too much. Or too little.
I loved Ian Boothby's Futurama/Simpsons crossover, but sadly this doesn't come close to those standards.

I really liked it! It reminded me of the way a lot of the episodes conclude. There seems to be a miriad of events that look like they will never come together and then they do in the most unexpected way. This triliogy was like that. Check out page 2, the art on that page was worth the price of the comic alone, and is that Captain America on page 21? Funny.

I got Issue #19 last week, and I'm a bit disappointed. It's my least fave of the quadrilogy, infact I think the best comic is the set-up one; Issue #16. Each comic after has got slightly worse. The script in this one, I felt was weak in the most part. It started out well, then got a bit boring in the middle (especially the Leela story). It then picked up the pace towards the end, when Bender showed up. I think they should have concentrated more on the conclusion, and less on Fry and Leela's individual stories. The art looked quite rushed too, but it was passable.
Not the most satisfying conclusion, but acceptable as Lurr would say. Personally I'm much more of a fan of when Futurama

I personally loved all of the Bender time trilogy (in cluding this one). I liked the first one the most, but the second anf third were also very funny.

Another John Delaney story. That's two in a row some of the art is rushed and quite poor he would be better with a different inker. The story made no sense and was very shabby. A big let down :(

I liked it enough to rate it average. But they really slipped on this comic. I mean there was really a high level of failing. All of the other comics are fine but this one there was some really wrong with it. Sorry. :/

Better than the brevity of #18. It doesn't make a lot of sense still it was enjoyable.

I thought that this comic was really way past cool. I haven't read any Futurama comics before, and I haven't read that many comics at all to be exact. but out of a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest I give it a 1000000000 ... 000000000.

This could have been better. It was still a decent issue, but they rushed the conclusion of the Time Bender Trilogy too much. Other than that, it was a good issue, and a good ending to the story.

It was an okay comic.
the only reason i liked it so much is that my fan art got into the back. (the comic strip fan art)
could have been better,
but it could have been worse.

I've got this issue and its fanstic. The bit that makes me laugh is the superhero bit,instead of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers-Flash Rogers and Buck Gordon and its the same person just different colour outfits. Fanstic.
