Much like The Simpsons comic books. The drawings are as we remember them from the tv-show, and they are good... The stories are kinda good, the characters talk and behave as they should. If you like comics and Futurama then buy, if you don't like comics then go buy the dvd set's ;)

4.0 out of 5 stars It's so funny..., May 2, 2003

A great supplement to the DVDs (if you don't have them, you really should get them now!!). This book gives you several more adventures that Fry and the gang go on. The writing is pretty good - you can just hear the professor exclaiming "Goodness no!" and Bender making sarcastic cracks at everyone.

I think this is especially entertaining if you like reading comic books - but even if you don't (or have never tried), Futurama fans everywhere should find this book enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny - Loved it!, March 5, 2003

As someone who loved the show (and will miss it!), I grabbed the this book. It's as funny as the show and many pictures are worth a long look just to pick out the gags.
