The four-part trilogy returns in an all new trade paperback collection. Fry, Leela, Bender, and Professor Farnsworth's clone/ward Cubert take an intergalactic trip, and when they return to Earth, they find the planet uninhabited. First, our merry band of messengers must fight off alien invaders bent on claiming the planet as their own. Then they must go in search of their missing colleagues as well as billions of citizens from Planet Earth. But "where are they?" soon turns into "when are they?" and "how" and "why" also make a little appearance. And before long the intrepid crew quite literally goes to hell and back again. Will the world ever get back to normal, or is everyone totally boned? Yes, there will be time travel—so bring a change of clothes!

This review is from: Futurama: The Time Bender Trilogy (Simpsons Futurama) (Paperback)

A collection of Futurama stories.

It consists of several stories, reprinted from the Bongo Comics series.

This is pretty darn funny. Not quite as good as the best of the TV episodes, but nothing for a true Futurama fan to skip.

It has nothing to do with the DVD "Bender's Big Score", but tells a different time travel story.

If this review helped, please give me a vote.

This review is from: Futurama: The Time Bender Trilogy (Paperback)

I love Futurama and I love comic/graphic books. The stories were on par with the TV episode writing and I could visualize the characters actually acting out the scene and hear the voices in my head. The artwork is also really well done and gives you plenty to look at and really enjoy on later read-throughs.
