Comics #20

Release Date: 6/8/05

Never before in the history of comics has there been an issue quite like this one! Bender, feeling under-appreciated, goes off on a mind-bending, time-twisting, space continuum-shattering odyssey that will take him across the galaxy and through the offices of Bongo Comics in a mad, mad, mad, mad chase. Only you, dear reader, will be able to bring him back when "Bender Breaks Out!"

Mine arrived today!...

It's a good issue, Bender was in one of those unlikable rather than lovable mindsets though. He reminded me of how he was in 'A Pharaoh To Remember', but I guess it was necessary for the plot, and I like that side of him sometimes. What I really dug in this issue was the originality of Bender ripping the page and how it played an important role in the comic. It made for an interesting story, even if the Bongo Comic office did seem a bit forced...

It wasn't the funniest issue, but everyone was in character, and there were still a few laughs. The character artwork was often quite off, especially Amy. However the backgrounds were very good. Obviously this artist is better at backgrounds than characters. Also it's always great seeing Lrrr!...

I just received my Futurama #20 comic in the mail yesterday, and it is SO funny! It's gotta be one of the funniest comic issues I've ever read - I was laughing outloud when Bender was hanging out on the other side of the page - haha! So clever! Patric Verrone wrote the script for this comic, and he's also one of the writers for the show. Great job! I also love the segment where the comic goes "Behind the Scenes at Bongo Comics" and Matt Groening makes a joke about Fox Studios - check it out! It was worth the wait for this comic, now I can't wait for the next one!

P.S. I hope that fans didn't actually take Professor Farnsworth's suggestion and ruin their comic by folding the pages and taping them together to "trap Bender" inside the comic, although that would be pretty funny!

They really need to stop with the 'meta'. A little goes a long way, and a lot makes me yawn. Also, not nearly enough Zoidberg between the covers.

This was a good comic because it completes my futurama comic collection, great writing for the most part, but it seemed a little forced. Some things were a little too surreal and not funny enough. Reminded me of the 4th season of Monty Python. I think the writers are runnin' out at bongo comics. Also, what the hell was with the paper. I swear, that was some of the crappiest paper I've ever seen on a comic book. It seems like I'm nit-picking, but I could have easily torn it by just carefully turning the page. I think the budget is getting a little low as well in that field. But all in all, it still feels like futurama and laughs like futurama. Not the best, but I just complained a little

It was just okay. The entire story seemed forced and I didn't really find it all that amusing. The art was bad too, and it worried me, since Simpsons comics' art took a dive just before the entire line started to suck. I actually probably would've prefered a big Zoidberg story! I hope #21 is much better.

I loved it because It was my first comic. (futurama one) but I don't like Bongo comics thinking that girls don't read futurama comics, I'm a girl, and I'm sure there are tons of others!

The main plot wasn't much,but the jokes were hilarious,especially the Professor. It was also cool that if you actually fold it does change the story like it said.

This edition to Futurama was amusing.The past few issues have been kind of lame.Especially the the lame 4-part time problem issues.I do have to say this was an amazing issue,even if the art was crappy,I loved when Hermes and editor Bill Morrison was killed.My favorite part was when Bill demanded a"love scene" with Leela.Even though I still don't know how Hermes came bake to life?Nevertheless,this was an awesome issue.

What if cheese had eyes? This is a question that has been plaguing man kind for millions of years. There are two theroys. Firstly, it would just watch us eat it, and secondly, it would watch the salad dressing like a dirty little mozorela. But if you want good food come down to tokyo takeaway, where you get free chinese food for only $1!!!!

Too much crazyness, as mentioned above, too much meta. I don't always like it when people fuck with mind and perception.

Although this issue was weird, I have to admit, it was also very funny and creative. It reminded me a lot of Verrone's issue before this -- "Six Characters in Search of a Story".
