Bongo Comics Review: Futurama Comics #57

After the jump, I have a review of this week’s release from Bongo Comics, that being Futurama Comics Issue# 57. So, how does Fry’s tale of time travel stack up? Well, Jesus tap-dancing Christ we know he’s done it once right? So, let’s see how he fairs when he goes back a 100 years!

 

Let Off Some Steam, Punks! 

As mentioned, Fry goes back a 100 years to a time of a Victorian era. While there he stumbles into all our favorite characters, like Bender, Leela, Amy(that’s Lady Wong to you!) and Dr. Zoidberg. But, when the crew sets out for a delivery they are stopped by one Zapp Brannigan who is trying to intercept Lady Wong for um…detailing. After that fails, they reach their destination which is inhabited by moon men and yet again Zapp, and two giant lizards….or do they?

Zoidberg makes a House Call

Hermes has a Home Alone 2-like accident when he gets to his house, so Zoidberg tries to take care of him. But, after eating all the food and taking a bath, Zoidberg is left running around looking to see what he can make his bed-ridden friend for dinner. However, the only thing left in the house is a secret stash in which here comes the cops!

Overall, the first story was kind of lame but featured Zapp dressed up as Cap’n Crunch so I can give that a pass, then the second story had a few good laughs in it. Definitely, worth the read.

SCORE
7.5/10
