Customer Reviews

Wow - way to review the wrong item.
These reviews are all for a BOOK (well, comic book, really), but the product being reviewed is not a book, but a CALENDAR.
How can Amazon get things so jaw-droppingly wrong?

Futurama face without the personality
The only way this comic would be tolerable is if you enjoyed the show and can actually visualize the action according to the physics, action, and fun of the original cartoon. Even Futurama fans may find this comic a tough pill to swallow for their Futurama fix.

Though the art is solid and familiar, the writing and stories are ridiculously sub-par. i would much rather watch the worst Futurama episodes over again than read any of the comics in this trade paperback.

The writers occasionally attempt to interject some of the ongoing gags to make it feel like Futurama. Like everyone's disdain for Zoidberg. Common exclamatory phrases (Sweet Zombie Jesus!) and the like. But take all those out, and you just have stories that made me realize that they CAN make bad Futurama stories.

kinda boring
i was dissapointed in this book. the jokes arent funny, and the story drags on.the drawings and color are great. buy it if you are a fan. otherwise.. no
