Futurama -Planet X-Press Men |
|
Where to start with this issue. From the beginning is as good as place as any other I guess. We come into this story at the half way point basically. A robot with claws and made of titasteelorium (or something like that) appears at the doorstep of the Planet X-Press Men with no recollection of who he is or where he has come from. Through analysis of his body it is determined that he comes from MOM Corp and their evil leader Momneato! Although the others quickly accept Benderine into their circle Uniclops (Leela) is hesitant and resists. When the Planet X-Press Men are to recieve an award from the mayor of New New York the Professor feels that this would be an excellent oppurtinuty to introduce their newest member to the world. Something goes wrong and a switch inside |

Really fun issue and certainly more cool than what I could describe here. There are so many cool little things about this that you have to see to believe. The Planet Express crew as the Planet X-Press Men was great! I loved seeing them all as super heroes or in the case of Mom as a super villain. Great character selection and it is always fun when the story revolves or involves the entire cast. As an added special bonus for me one of my fan art pictures that I had sent to Futurama Comics was printed in their letters page. I had completely forgotten that I had sent it in to them and was pleasantly surprised while waiting in line to pay and I flipped thru the issue and saw my picture there. For those who have not bought this issue it is a picture of a 3 dimensional Bender that I did and that can be seen on my fan art page. Also included is Alien Language I completely deciphered and for use in a very crazy word search game. Guaranteed to give you a headache. |

Benderine is turned on and his true purpose is realized. He is an agent of Momneato and she comes in to do battle with X-Press Men. All seems lost and without hope when suddenly Fry is awakened in the Planet Express ship. He had been knocked on the head when a band of space pirates boarded the ship and had dreamed the whole thing. Distaught over not having super powers and pleads with the others to find it in themselves their hidden special abilities to overcome their aggressors. Through some creative thinking each finds their special powers and the space pirates are defeated. |

Futurama- New Year's Rockin' Evil |
|
Welcome to rockin' New Year's Eve year 3000 style. While waiting for a specially made ball to drop at Times Square in New New York the power goes out. Go figure since it was the Professor who designed the ball and it has sucked all the energy from the surrounding area. While they wait they decide to ask the What If... machine a few questions. How does that work with no power? Baterries my boy, batteries. |
|
Bender wants to know what would have happened had he traveled to the year 1999. Thru the course of the story we learn that Fry has written a story about life in the year 1999 that is usefull in the future. The world has been overrun with robots and humans are forced to live underground until Fry arrives and leads a rebelion against the robots. With the help of his story written 1000 years ago people are able to understand what life was like then. Fry's story becomes a doctrine for the new world order. |
|
Bender as it turns out, has been sent from the future to ensure that Fry makes it to the future and more importantly that his story survives to become the important paper that it is. Another robot has been sent to the past as well - the Leelanator! Leela is a much more advanced robot who can shape shift into anything she wants. She has been sent to the past to find Fry and ensure that his story does not survive to the year 3000. A battle ensues between the Bendinator and the Leelanator and all of mankind hangs in the balance. As an added bonus we get a second story. A little two page story involving the creation of the world's most expensive alarm clock! Great cover on this issue although I felt the artwork inside was a little weak. Not up to the same standards as some of the previous issues. The two page story featuring Farssworth was much better. The main story was a fun parody on the Terminator movies and promises to be the first of three Anthology of Interest type stories that I would guess will follow movie type themes. The next will be a parody of the X-men! Stay Tuned! |
