It’s a comic convergence on a reality-ripping, time-altering, space-traveling, intergalactic scale for Matt Groening’s two hilarious television series! It’s The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis—presenting all four hard-to-find comics together for the first time in a hardcover collection, encased in a die-cut slipcase, and packaged with a reprint of the very first Eisner Award–winning issue of Simpsons Comics.

What would happen if the Planet Express crew and the citizens of New York City in the 31st century met the Simpsons and the citizens of Springfield . . . and how is it even possible? Prepare yourself for a Simpsons saga filled with Futurama! A Futurama fable suffused with the Simpsons!

Featuring a plethora of pleasing plot devices including: evil brain spawn, lactose-intolerant space aliens, a giant ball of yarn, flying cars, mistaken identities, world domination, the brittle fabric of reality torn asunder, a comic book–collecting sentient planet, the Dewey Decimal system, self-eating watermelons, slave labor, space pirates, power-crazed vampires, super hero battles, unflattering underwear, mad science run amok, and much, much more!

Edited by Bongo Comics cofounder Bill Morrison, this is the epic story that you’ve been waiting for . . . a story so big, so ambitious, so sweeping that it can only be told in a 208-page, large-format, slip-cased edition, complete with new material, supplemental stories, preliminary sketches, character designs, and a pin-up gallery featuring the talents of comics industry luminaries Alex Ross, Sergio Aragonés, Geof Darrow, Kyle Baker, Peter Kuper, and Bernie Wrightson, among others.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Two classic animated series are brought together in a comic that offers many surprises, including how well it all works when transported to a new medium. Although both sources are the creation of cartoonist Matt Groening, the broadcast runs of each series referred to the other as works of fiction within their own universes, perhaps seeking to avoid the temptation of an attention grabbing crossover. And yet somehow this assemblage ably accomplishes just such a task while remaining faithful to the source materials. When Futurama's crew from the Planet Express delivery service become trapped in the fictional world of a Simpsons comic book, they must escape from Springfield. But shortly afterward they open a rift that brings the Simpsons characters into the Planet Express world, where the fictional characters must be rescued and returned to the pages of their comic book. Boothby's writing excels at letting each universe and the characters in them maintain their subtly distinct identities even when they blend. The overarching story for the book is designed to easily allow opportunities for affectionate references to comics, to science fiction, and to notable works of fiction. While the Simpsons comics included in the collection are not as strong, the crossover story takes what could have been a simple throwaway gag and instead crafts a funny, intricately detailed story.

From Booklist

How much satire can you pack into a single graphic novel? Well, you’ve got The Simpsons, with its cutting perspective on culture and family life; you’ve got Futurama, which hits pop culture and sci-fi tropes with Groening’s patented scathing wit; and you’ve got cosmic-scale comic-book mega-crossover events that the Big Two (Marvel and DC) churn out nonstop, which this book sends up from start to finish, right down to its hardbound, slipcased format. The story is suitably epic, as the two casts visit each other’s realities with ensuing chaos that includes a British invasion, a battle with just about every fictional character ever imagined come to life, and a beer-mad giant Homer. Epic, yes, but is it funny? No panel goes by without a flurry of caustic humor, and no page passes that won’t garner a guffaw or two, even from the uninitiated. And the whole thing is taken just seriously enough to provide a heaping helping of enjoyable extras that show exactly how much work it is to design and produce this much fun. Grades 6-10. --Jesse Karp

Matt Groening, creator and executive producer of Fox’s Emmy Award®-winning series The Simpsons, made television history by bringing animation back to primetime and creating an immortal nuclear family. The Simpsons is the longest running primetime animated series in television history and is currently the longest-running comedy on television, having aired more than 400 episodes. In July 2007, the highly anticipated feature film The Simpsons Movie opened in theaters with worldwide grosses of more than $525 million to date.

Originally brought to life in 1987 for The Tracey Ullman Show, The Simpsons was Groening’s amazing entry into the television animation world. Previously, he was best-known for his “Life in Hell” cartoon strip, an irreverent portrayal of love, work, school, life and relationships that currently appears in more than 250 newspapers worldwide and in a multitude of books.

Groening’s other Emmy-Award®-winning creation, Futurama, launched on Fox in March 1999 and ran for five seasons. Last year Fox released the direct-to-DVD full-length original feature Futurama: Bender’s Big Score. Three additional films will be released and the entire series with new episodes will air on Comedy Central this year.

In 1993, Groening formed Bongo Comics Group, where he serves as publisher of The Simpsons Library of Wisdom, Simpsons Episode Guides, Simpsons Comics, Bart Simpson Comics, Radioactive Man Comics, Simpsons Comics Treasure Trove, the annual Bart Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror, Futurama Comics, more than 36 comic compilations, as well as instant classics including Bart Simpsons Guide to Life, The Simpsons Handbook, and The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album among others!

In addition to the many awards bestowed on his creations (including Emmys, Annies, and the prestigious Peabody Award), Groening was personally honored with the Rueben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year, the highest honor presented by the National Cartoonist Society. To date there are more than 14 million copies of books from HarperCollins in print throughout North America, the UK, and Australia based on The Simpsons, Futurama, and Life in Hell.

The item was falsely advertised as NEW, and I was sent a used copy. There is an ink stain on the tip of the book, and the reprint of Simpsons Comics #1 was missing in the pocket in the back cover. VERY DISSAPOINTED.

    For the price, you cannot beat the quality of this book. First off, the hard cover is a very nice size, not the usual comic or trade paperback size, but an inch or two bigger on both sides. The color artwork jumps from the pages and is very clean and crisp. The stories themselves are good and very lengthy, it seemed, compared to the usual single comic issues, with a lot of relevant plot material. The slip cover is very nicely done and the book binding seems to be sound.

    When I read that the publishers were going to include a reprint of the very first Simpson's Comic, I assumed it would be bound with the rest of the hardback. To my delight, it is actually seperate, placed in a sleeve on the inside of the back cover. The cover to the reprint seems to be a bit thicker than the original #1, due perhaps for longer durability. Inside a out, a fine reprint indeed.

    This Collection is great! The slipcase has and amazing die cut causing a spiral vortex look and is reversed on the back side so you get to choose which universe of characters you get to display. In addition to the two crossover collection there is also an additional Simpsons Chili story featuring Chief Wiggum. And the icing on the cake is there is a reprint of Simpsons Comics #1 in a pocket on the inside of the back cover! Bongo comics is one of the best!

    I'm not a fan of comics but I must say that when I saw this hardcover comic, I needed to buy it. Is the mix of two of my favorites cartoons, Futurama and The Simpsons, in a very interesting story that you must read. This comic holds in a single book the 4 comics: "Somewhere Over the Brain-bow!", "Liquid Diamond Is Forever!", "Slaves of New New York!" and "The Read Menace!".

    The hardcover is neat, very well done and of great quality, the pages are also very colorful and with a high quality paper. You'll also get a re-issue of The Simpsons Comic #1 as a separate item in a sleeve inside the backcover of the comic.

    Some other extras are many full page illustrations of mixes between Futurama and The Simpsons that you can't miss. Yet another extra is a behind the scenes of how they create this and all the comics at Bongo Comics.

    Is really a collectors item, I truly recommend it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My first Bongo comic.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I’m a big fan of both the Simpsons and Futurama(a bit more Futurama) so a crossover over between the two shows is something I always wanted to see.

    We began with Fry reading a Simpsons comic on the
    Planet Express ship with the crew on their way a another delivery when they come across the brains from the episode the day the earth stood stupid. The brains repeating a tactic used in that episode, send the crew into a book or in this case comic. They end up spend around Springfield and interacting with various charters. This is best part of the book seeing the characters meeting and bonding and we have some good pairings like Homer and Bender, Bart and Fry, Lisa and Leela who actorly form a surprising nice friendship. Even some of the of the minor got a chance to shine like how MR Burns meets a certain evil old lady from the future.
    By the end of the first half the Professor finds a way to get the Futurama crew back to their own world but they accidentally bring the people of Springfield with and that’s where things really get crazy.

    To quickly compare this to the crossover episode Simpsorama, that episode was ok but it was far too short and only Homer and Bender get enough screen time to really be funny. This is the superior crossover, it does more with the concept and the characters have more room to breathe.

    The book also has two stond alone stories the first is Hail to the cat where due to an error Lisa’s cat ends up running against Mayor Quimby. Sounds stupid but leads to funny twist that you will not see coming. The second is a rather short story, Chili Chili Bang Bang staring Chief Wiggum. Tying into the episode The Mysterious Voyage of Homer, Wiggum himself tries the Chili he had made and goes and his little vision quest with a talking puppy. Both these stories are fun but if you don't like them you can just skip them. It also has a single issue, a reprint of the first issue of the Simpsons comic. It’s a fun read and probably better than most of the newer episodes of the show. Lastly it comes with artwork and a cover galley, all of which are quite lovely.

    Overall if you if you are a fan of Matt Groening's work I highly recommend this. Personify it made me want to read more of Bongo comics as it seems this where the Simpsons humour still lives and where I can see more adventures of the Planet Express crew.
