This was my favorite Futurama comic since the first one. The drawings were a little off, but above average.

Good story, naked Leela, and a bittersweet ending reminiscent of the TV AOI eps. Agree with McGrady on the art, it looked strange in places.

Interesting. Somewhat nice to see Michelle, Mr. Pannuchi, and Charles to appear in the issue. Honestly, I'd rather Leela have been the one trying to guard Fry...Bender doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

I liked it dispite the inconcistencys with the origional "Space Pilot 3000" ep. Which actually could just be chalked up to the what if macines fult. But I found it hard to beleave that Fry was a writer and a touch typist and that Leela was the Bendernator wan if she did want to kill Fry or take his story she coulda done it at any time wile the Bender robot guy who was soposed to be protecting him was just waiting at the cryogenics lab. Egh call me picky it was an average ish.

bender asked what would happen if he travelled back in time, right?
but it seemed the whole future changed for no reason.why did bender kill the hobo?why couldn't leela morph herself some clothes?
Why do I care???

There are so many good things about this issue. The Terminator inspired story is brilliant, and the script and characters couldn't be better. There's just one thing missing, What happened to the Artwork!? Some pages are fine but in many of the key panels (especially the climax) the characters are quite off model! After reading the credits for this issue and others where the artwork isn't great, i realised that John Delaney is responsible. He can't draw Fry. He gives him this stupid line below his eyes, and raises his top lip too far so that you can see his teeth. You'd think somebody at Bongo would say something to him! Anyway enough criticism apart from some dodgy drawing, Brilliant!

I haven't read any Futurama or Simpsons comics before this. I have to say I wasn't impressed. Although the bit with the stripping class was kind of funny, and the whole Terminator angle was interesting, I didn't find myself being that impressed. The jokes were flat out weak. Maybe my expectations were too high because the TV show was so funny, but the comic seemed of a poor quality.

My Fave out all the ones I have read.(5-10. no where i go sells them anymore......) The fact that Leela is a robot, Bender gets destroyed, Fry stays in the year 1999, and Zoidberg becomes president(a position that usually makes you VERY unpopular[meaning zoidberg fits the part perfectly]), made the whole thing work for me.

Sorry to be so bitterly evil, but 10# Fogginestingger... SHUT UP! Ha, soon I will publish another book, and become even more famous. Can't tell you my real name. How does it feel to be insulted by a celebrity. Honestly, don't be so harsh on poor little KyRan. What did he ever do! Fine... if you think that hurt, you should see my butt in action! (Remember that, its a clue to who I am...)

This is the worst comic that i have ever read. there is no story, it's just a whole bunch of random events that happen for no reason at all!! For example: how did the fate of humanity change all of the sudden? It is just a screwed up comic that makes absoluotely no sense.

This issue has been out for three years in Australia, and I couldn't find it anywhere after I started buying the comics. Luckily, I went into the newsagent today and the Australian publishers (along with the Futurama Collector's Editions #1/#2) have made packs with three issues each for $12.00 (that means one of the issues is free for us because three is usually about $18)...Anyway, it had Futurama #7 and another one I didn't have plus one I did have so meh I got it...wow #7 was really good! Loved the what if? machine coming back, as well as the huge picture on page 17.

This is how the Anthology of Intersts should be. One big storyline with a good plot for why they use 'The What-If Machine'
Great issue.

An awesome comic! I'm a fan of Terminator and Futurama. And like issue #11, this was a comic I wanted, so I got Futurama Adventures comic collection. This comic inspired me to write a fan fic where Leela is Terminator! So on with classic moments: Leela's arrival to 1999(soooo Terminator esque)and how bad-to-the-bone her outfit looked. Fry thinking robots exsisted in Heaven(LOL). And Leela trying to convince Fry to give her his story(and following him around as well). One of Futurama's best parodies! 5 stars!
