Very boring. Zoidberg and his Newbie were the only bright patches of light in this comic.

A good return to the high standards of issue #1. The art work is excellent (there's lots of good background detail and jokes). The story and characters are also on top form. The joke on the cover alone is worth a purchase, Bender is reading RQ GQ magazine.

This comic was very averagey, the story simply didn't really appeal to me and I found it kinda dull. Also it had a bit too much Zoidberg in for my liking, sure he's a great character, when used right. The artwork was pretty neat, but some of the frame compositions weren't that imaginative though. A few funny moments though, which helped redeem it.

This was a good one. The best part was when Fry told Leela the story about his card collection. That story was great.

If I could give percentage I would give it a 93% Everything was good but could use improvement. The first one was definetly the best of the three that I've read so far.

As always, BENDER RULES!!!

It wasn't an adventure-type story with action or chases, the appeal for me was that the characters were done well (Zoidberg was particularly well-written) and the art was good (lots of background detail).

I didn't find it dull, and I thought the Needy Newbie idea (obviously inspired by the Furby craze) was something the TV series might have involved.

I wonder how such a bad story could get into the comics. As soon as I actually read it, I instantly regretted it.

This was the first issue I bought, and none of the comics since (up to issue 16 at the moment) have topped it.
The story is a classic futurama plot,that includes a highly amusing bender sub-plot, it would make a great futurama episode.
All of the characters were very well written, especially Zoidberg, and the background jokes were numerous and very funny.
And the cover: hilarious!

I enjoyed the storyline of how Leela is collecting something and that Zoidberg played qite a big role in there. Also great artwork, shame none of the other characters were a big part but still a great comic.

I'll just say the same thing for "The Owner Of Mars Attacks!" that I did for issue #2. So, read my review there.

Not a very great issue, but good artwork. Most issues will have a review by me (lol). Anyway the storyline didn't go that far really, just a cat and mouse race between Leela and Mrs. Wong.

Up until issue #16, this was my favorite issue...I loved the whole artwork and story, and finally seeing Inez Wong turn up was great, and I loved the Randy the Crap Man and Bender sub-plot too
