Can't get enough Futurama

Crossover Comic 1 in the UK

We got some exclusive information about the next Titan Publishing Futurama comic book featuring the first crossover issue. It will be on sale in the UK starting February 6th for £1.99. Inside is a contest to win a Wind-up Walking Homer and Bender from Unique Concepts and a Futurama Season Two DVD Boxset From Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. During February, you can subscribe to both Futurama Comics and Simpsons Comics and get 10% off.
Here is the Press text:
What do you get when you cross Futurama with the Simpsons? You get a cosmically colossal crossover comic, of course!

It is here! The much rumoured, much anticipated crossover of your two favourite shows, with all of the wit and hilarity that you have come to expect from Matt Groening has arrived.

Issue 3 of Futurama Comics sees the meeting of Homer and Bender, doing what they do best (with plenty of Duff), Bart up to his old tricks forcing Fry to face the consequences, and Leela looking after Lisa. How can this be? How can two shows, set in different realities, come together? All will be revealed in Futurama Comics Issue no3. Don't miss chapter one of the two-part miniseries. It is certainly worth the wait!
Thanks to Titan for the info, to subscribe to Titan Comics and get 10% off email futuramasubs@titanemail.com or call 01536 764 646.

That should be imports from the USA then. These are slightly different UK versions (a bit broader, the said contest and you can buy then in smaller towns, too).

I don't see how this info is exclusive. People who bought the season 2 dvd (and maybe video) will have found a leaflet inside saying when this would be out (indeed it said February) and in the back of issue 2 (Dec 2002) it said the crossover was out on the 6th. Sorry Andie but its not exclusive this time :)

Well, I for one am a fan from the UK who thinks it's great that the show is being supported over here, and I think that the bigger comic size, and extra bits rock! Some of these guys on the message board need to lose your 'Comic Book Guy' style sarcasm. It's still all for the love of Futurama, people.

It's a shame the Futurama comics (And by extension Simpsons) comics suck. They're like bad illistrated fan-fics, not only weak, but introducing things that can't be taken as canon (case in point, bender's son). And the unrelenting references to throwaway lines in the show is unbearable. Why? The show doesn't do that. That said, mad ups to the art department.
