Comics #4

Release Date: 5/23/01

D.O.O.P. The Right Thing!
Zapp Brannigan disappears into the jungles of a distant planet, where he is made ruler and worshipped as a god. He sends only on message from the bust - the king needs a one-eyed jungle queen. The Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP) sends a reluctant Leela, Kif Kroker, Fry and Bender up the river into the heart of darkness to save him - but they are not prepared for the unspeakably bloated horror they find there.

Script was beatiful.And so was the artwork.The return of Zapp and Kiff was both hillarious and well drawn.Bender's booze hunt was exceptionatly well done.

#2 by Zapp's Woman

The top five reasons this comic was great:

5. What the signal flare looked like.
4. Leela actually wanting to make love to Zapp.
3. Bender dressed as a nurse.
2. Bender's booze hunt.
and #1 is (what else?):
ZAPP BRANNIGAN PREGNANT!!!!!

This one was actually quite good.It was a real story and not just a bunch of gags, and it gave me a couple of good laughs. Skip #2 and #3 and read this one.

Not verry funny at all. I thought the artwork was at times way off and found meny mistakes. Also I think Zap's a slob.

This was the first FUTURAMA comic I've ever read (seriously)! I liked the plot, and the artwork was beautiful but, I didn't find it very funny.

Good "Apocalypse Now" spoof but I'm a little worried that three of the issues out of the first eight have been spoofs -- "Apoc Now," "Terminator," "X-Men." This to me is a sign of a lack of original script ideas, not cleverness.

I thought this issue was extremely bland. Much like some of the recent Simpsons comics. This comic did NOT display the same humour from the TV show, the first three issues did, however.
I noticed the artwork seemed a bit rushed, unlike the great artwork in previous issues. I was very disappointed with this one. Not enough gags, and I reckon Zapp Brannigan is a really boring and annoying character.
Needs more Zoidberg!!!

Brilliant artwork, great characters, and a wonderful story (parodying Francis Ford Coppala's masterpiece, Apocalypse Now). This comic is one of the best in the series.

Although once again 'spoofing' a movie, Issue five has some distinctly amusing sequences and Bender, as per usual, steals the show. The Nurses outfit, stealing from the dead and dying, stunning Fry...the big shiny metal ass is a genius.

I read Futurama-o-Rama and this is definitely my favorite of the four. And Zapp WAS in character!

This issue was cool because it had Zapp and Kif, Zapp was awesome and Kif's plan that he drew was cool.

This was good! I particularly liked Conrad (the wierd talking bug guy) Not the funniest one yet, but a hell of a lot better than the recent Simpsons comics!

"D.O.O.P. The Right Thing!" was slightly more entertaining than issues #2 and #3. This issue showed how great it can be if they focus in some side-characters we love to see. I can already the fans screaming in lines waiting for the first issue of "The Amazing Adventures Of ZAPP BRANNIGAN!...and Kif"

The plot on this was kinda confusing, although that may be because I was reading it at midnight. I re-read it to understand it better, and it's pretty good but the comics don't leave the same effect on me as the show. I got the Futurama-o-rama pack but I hope that the Futurama Adventures pack will be better (it looks better; Morbo's show/X-mas story...). I still liked the Futurama-O-Rama, but I like anything Futurama!

Not much better than issue #3, actually it was worse. The storyline once again wasn't excellent and there was hardly anything about it, except when Leela was willing to make love to Zapp and when he said 'sorry honey, i feel fat'. Not very good expectations.

I don't really like those issues with encounters with other alien races, etc, or the whole Zapp Brannigan and Leela thing, and that's why I didn't really like this issue.

It was an OK comic with all the humor coming from Bender (as always)and the others were dull.Dr Zoidberg was good,though he wasnt in it that much.But where did all the humor go from Fry,Kif,Leela and Zapp?

Cool issue. The artwork was pretty good but a bit strange in places. Bender provided the main parts that made this comic funny, though.
Not as good as some of the other issues but still OK. 4/5
