Hmmmmmm...It cant be a coincedence that Amazon.co.uk list a Futurama comics book as being released on the 27th of September...and then another in October (different publishers, one is Titan)I certainly dont want to buy the issues if they are releasing bumper books, or is this the American bumper book and issue 1 of the UK comic? Is the UK comic just old USA issues?

The two books at amazon are really just one by two publishers (one from the UK, one from the US) with the first four issues in a hard cover. These are meant for the hard core fans. The normal comics are for those who won't buy hardcover comics and didn't import the soft cover from the USA. I think they will be the same story wise (but Andie didn't brief me on that, so dunno :p)

Weird...so which one should I buy for the maximum Futurama supporting (not both :P) UK or USA?

My mate got hold of a copy ( he got sent one for promotion) and told me that it's basically the UK version of the US comic (as in, this first edition has 'Monkey Sea, Monkey Doom' in it). But, he said it has got other stuff in it. Most noteably a big pull-out poster, a cut-out poster of Bender, and you can remove the cool spoof adverts because there's an advert on the other side. They do like wicked on the wall. There's a readers section too, so overall, it sounds like a pretty cool Futurama mag to me, even though there are reprints.
