Comics #25

Release Date: 5/24/06

Gather 'round and hear tell of the three "deliverers" who fell from the sky, and liberated the good and filthy people of Bottingham... and of the metal rebel who threw off the chains of oppression and over taxation and without faint heart challenged the dastardly sheriff...the one who robbed from the rich, gave some to the poor, and kept most of it for himself... Robot Hood! Hear ye! Hear ye!

Robin Hood, Futurama style? Need I say more? Art was poor and rushed. Nice cover though. The issues tend to be hit and miss, over all 3:1 for a good story/art.

Well, the begining 2 or 3 pages is all jokes about the Beatles and i'm a big beatles fan so it was pretty good any who the rest was about bender becomeing a "robinhood" and i enjoyed that very much so it was a 4.

Awsome, but what's with all the ads in the middle of the comic. Why can't they put them at the end. It takes me out of the story. (which was again, awsome)

Ok, how come some of the covers have nothing to do with the story? the guy who did the art in thisone did the one w/ Bender as a fitniss guru (23 I think) I don't like him very much, he does seem to rush the drawings.

but as for the story, brilliant! Would love to see this as an ep. He killed Scrooge McDuck, lol!

The comic was good.The heads in jars in the comic did not look like the head in jars on the show,though.

After issue 24 I was really looking forward to this issue, but I was actually pretty disappointed. The cover art was cool but the story itself was pretty bad. It seemed rushed and the artwork was off in parts.
But the start of the issue was alright, so I've given it a 2. Hope #26 is better.

I thought it was quite good. Not great, but good. Like some people pointed out, the art seemed a bit rushed, and I wasn't fond of some of the drawings of fat Friar Fry.
The story was pretty good, even though a couple of the Beatles references seemed a bit forced (for example the "clang clang Maxwell's Silver Hammer" reference).

i havent reviwed this issue yet, i must have missed it. but now ive read them up to issue 36, and in my opinion, this is when the comics started to decline in quality:
1 - 15 were great
16 - 19 were unique but cool
20 - 24 were original and awesome
25 - 36 (with the exception of issue 35) were disappointing, and have ran out of laugh-out-loud moments, the artwork has gotten worse and the storylines have become more rushed.
sorry, but the comics arent looking so good anymore
