The Imaginarium of Milhouse Van Houten

As we all know Milhouse’s maturity level is a bit lower than most in his fourth grade class including Bart who decides to break off their long-standing relationship. Eventually, Milhouse’s imagination gets him into trouble as he ends up in the trunk of Snake’s getaway car while he’s sticking up Apu in the Kwik-E-Mart. Eventually, Snake takes off with his cash in the trunk not knowing Milhouse is in there until he stops again to see what all the commotion is about. When he opens the trunk Milhouse puts a fight that catches the attention of Wiggum which gets Snake tossed in jail, and a rebuilt friendship between Bart and Milhouse courtesy of two free Squishees coming from Apu.

Milhouse’s Best Day

A heartwarming story about Milhouse’s birthday and the one guy in Springfield that read his diary and then goes through the trouble to make sure his best bud has his Best Day.

Octo-Weenie

When Milhouse gets stuffed into his own locker he becomes Agent Double-Zero. His mission?? To find out how the dumb kids in school are getting all A’s. Turns out its a hacker named ‘Database’ with protection brought to you by Nelson, and his gang of bullies. Luckily, they are no match for 00’s trusty can of grape soda…shaken, not stirred!

Manners with Milhouse

Because when you leave prank calls, you need to have upstanding posture and etiquette.

Feets of Fury

This is all you need to know. Milhouse is Kung fu….WHAM!

To start I think the back cover of Milhouse #1 is the most bad ass drawn character done of The Simpsons universe that I think I have ever seen. Seriously, you should buy this issue, and even if you don’t like the stories, tear off the back cover and frame it! Having said that I thought the long form stories in this issue were really good and I really liked seeing MIlhouse’s imagination gone wild with him as a double agent, or a Kung Fu artist, and more. My only drawback for this issue is that I would have rather had seen one more long story instead of the three short stories because I really thought the writers were on a roll and it would’ve been cool to see a proper 3rd story. With that said, you get some cool cut outs and stickers included with this special issue and as such think this was a better special.
