Hi All
John Delaney here. I pencilled issue #21 and I was very pleased with the way it turned out. I'm giving it a 5 for Eric Rogers' script which was really funny, Andrew Pepoy's inks which I thought really meshed with my pencils and Joey Mason's brilliant colors. I especially liked Jason Ho's cover!

I look forward to reading your thoughts on the book.

I'm currently finishing off # 23, it's a super funny story by my friend Ian Boothby which I think every hard core Futurama fan is really going to dig.

Cheers
John

I loved it! Zoidberg is my fav. I liked that everything he said was hillarious, especially since he can't intentionally be funny.

Yes! Leela w/ her hair down! It's just like I drew it in my fanart!

I also love that the comic story lines still carry the same stuff as the show. Thank You comics people, u rock so much! Here's a big internet hug!

I enjoyed it, I loved the art. What disappointed me was that I was under the impression that the alien sub-race was actually livng "in" Fry's teeth, when actually they were comunicating via them which disappointed me...

Awesome to see Zapp back in the Comics though. The art was a mixed bag, some of it was fantastic, I love the panel looking from Fry's mouth with his teeth surrounding the frame. Unfortunately some poor character expressions let the art down a bit, as did a coloring mistake on the Professor at the bottom of page 6...

Contained a nice shippy moment though. Overall average, for me at least...

Hey, folks.
This is REALLY James LLoyd-- the guy who USED to pencil every alternate issue of Futurama before all that Crossover business (though I'm hard at work on a new one; honest and for real!) -- and I just wanted to say quickly to my buddy John: THESE REVIEWS ARE FOR THE FANS, BOYCHICK!
I feel compelled to make a public comment about this, because both you, John, and Ian have previously written in giving yourselves top marks on your respective comics (finding a way to do it twice this time! )-- revealing yourselves to be the shameless glory-hogs I know you both (as a friend) to be. Now let's have a little decorum, here! It's not for US to tell the folks at home what kind of job we're doing on the comic (although I could do with less of that weird kid who keeps writing in giving 0 to everything). Can't Get Enough Futurama has a done a remarkable job of keeping the Futurama flame alive, and it's all well and good for us Bongo artists to participate... but we should really keep a hands-off policy towards the reviews. The late Edward R. Murrow would expect no less.
Damn good issue, though (but I'll refrain from rating it). Whoops! Looks like I have to to send this thing.

Pretty darn good issue. I loved it! Especially the part with Zapp.

Zapp: Whuh? Did someone just say SEX?

Leela: NO!

Zapp: Then I must have heard my second favorite word. WAR!

LOL. Keep up the good work guys!

I thought this was a classic issue. One of the greats so far of this comic series. It read really great, just like one of the episodes. I really do like Eric Rogers's stories, they are fantastic. Him and Ian are really doing well with this comic. Also, if thats really Lloyd (doubt it) why would you tell us now your working on another crossover?

Eric Rodgers wrote some good issues of the earlier issues of this comic series. (#1, #4, #6.) #2, #3 are a good maybe, but the plots were annoying. The other eight issues were rubbish! I thought we'd see the last of him, with Ian Boothby doing such a good job. Apart from the prolonged Bender time trilogy, the last two parts were dull and pointless. Patric M.Verrone gave us some clever and well thought out issues. I hope we'll see more of him. The issue itself is barely readable. The Leela/Zap thing is old. Forget about that. The Swiss army guys made no sense what so ever. I did like leelas bedtime gear she looks nice in grey. The inking was great on John Delanys usually sub-par artwork. Not so much of the badly drawn secondary characters or backgrounds. I still don't like those heavy lines for shading. It

I really enjoyed the story line, but the best part was seeing Leela in her Jams and with her hair down. Zapp came across as a bit too heroic, though. He's strictly a "lead fro behind" kind of guy. Still, keep it up!

This is a really good comic, if you ignore the not-so-great story. It had some really funny jokes. And if zoidbeg is you favourite, you will love this one.he makes some great jokes in this one and they don't look forced, like some of the other jokes.

I can only say 'Average' because this is actually a two-part story, 'Futurama Comics #31-32: More than a Filling' and I've only got #31. I'll say in Issue 22* Reviews my final reviews. Bye!

Finally, after a long while of waiting, Eric Rogers finally gives us another great story. I find it good that artists John Delaney and James Lloyd, as well as other Futurama scribe Ian Boothby have taken their time to post here.

I really liked the story and the art (well done John and Andrew) was absolutely stunning. The only down part was the aforementioned colouring error on the Professor. I also noticed Bender's hand is coloured brown in a panel during the fighting scene at the end.

Great issue. Bring on the rest!

A cool issue, good to see Eric Rogers writing again. The storyline's cool and with Zapp Brannigan how can it lose? Artwork was good but could have been better, but still it was a great story. Buy it now!

I haven't read this comic yet, however, I have been able to read it's plot summary on The Infoshpere: The Futurama WiKi. It sounds like a 5 star comic! I do know, however, 2 things that are interesting about this comic:

-This is one of the few comics where Leela has a unique outfit on(in this case its sleeping gear she wore in the scene where she kept Fry company for the night and almost kissed him).
-And, as said just now, Leela tries to kiss Fry because she didnn't want his last memory to be of Zapp Brannigan.

So I hope this comic appears in an upcoming comic collection soon and I'll probably come back with a better review!
