The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis

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 thePlanet 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.

It's what we all dreamed of ...Shame it couldn't have been a cartoon, still ...This is great funn!!!I bought mine used for six squid and happy days it's minty.The book is lavish within it's slip case - love the seperate bonus comic as well.Really nice book.Well worth the buy to see Homer and Bender on the same page.Thank you!",..,^

This I really happy have this and I like The Simpsons and Futurama too so this good and funny I like see futureama and The Simpsons Together this really good I hope this will more. BUT I wish The Simpsons & Futurama on DVD too this will good too :)

Great fun. Absolutely catches the flavour of Futurama, and a great sci-fi romp through the world of Springfield.Has all the classic Simpsons tropes, without the crushing disappointment of the writing from season 12 onwards.

Bought for 10 year old son. He really enjoys this and I have looked at it too. Witty nod funny as you'd expect. It's a large book, so good value as well.
