Very nicely printed and looks clool with the others! It's up to the usual high standard of all the Futurama Comic collections. My only worry is that they've missed out a few comics between where Futurama Adventures fnished and where The Time Bender Trilogy begins. I hope they get released in a TPB at some point too...

Loved this.

@ the previous two reviews:

It's not actually a four part trilogy; it's a three part one like it should be. The first story, however, is the prequel, or setup to the trilogy. The trilogy didn't officially start until "The Time Bender Trilogy Part 1", which was in Futurama #17, the second part of the story in this book.

always great when they do something "epic".
lol, loved all the schools, esp the HP-looking one.
also when they are changing costumes to give the illusion of more people. "I'm some guy."

Hey "Waa?", have you never heard of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the 5-book trilogy by Douglas Adams? It is supposedly the world's longest trilogy...

Oh, and great comic collection, by the way!

This came out pretty late in the UK so I couldn't find it until now. This was a fab paperback, with the highlights being issue 16 and issue 18 in one book! The ending seemed a bit rushed but other than that it was great! Loved Lrrr and Ndnd back again - but in the TV show isn't it omicroN persei 8 instead of omicroM?
Anyway, it was brilliant and I enjoyed reading it. When's the next paperback out?

I love Futurama: The Time Bender Trilogy! It has some of the best Futurama action and comedy in the comic series. Leela is tougher than ever! She shows off some of the best bravery seen on Futurama. Gags that were great: the Harry Potter esque boarding school, Fry and Bender doing whatever they want in the abandoned NNYC, Leela mistaking the greek poet Homer as Homer Simpson and when Leela asked Fry about his jacket when he tried to keep her warm:

(Leela:[gasp]When did you last wash this?)
(Fry:Never!)

So all in all, this is a 5 star comic collection like the other 3 collections, Futurama-O-Rama, Futurama Adventures and Futurama Conqures the Universe!
