 FUTURAMA FOREVER!!! Apr 15, 2005
By L Gontzes
Adventures is the sequel to Futurama-O-Rama and is a compilation of the next 5 comic books: a) Who's Dying to be Gazillionaire?, b) Xmas Time is Fear, c) New Year's Rockin' Evil, d) Planet X-Press Men, and e) Freaky Fry-Day.
Just like Futurama-O-Rama, Futurama Adventures is an OUTSTANDING book; the art, the plots, the writing, the witty humor and the AMAZING characters are all very well thought out and presented!
The spoof on the X-MEN (story #4) is GREAT!
In short, keep them coming!!!

Bongo Comics Rule! Jun 05, 2008
By William Hoffknecht

So here is the thing that so far has held true for every Futurama and Simpsons comic that I have read...
It is just like a good episode of the show, just in comic book form.
If you love the show of Futurama and can tolerate reading, buy these comics because they are hilarious. The characters and situations are true to the show and, although I have not found an issue that is as good as a great episode, all that I have read have been as good as good episodes.
These are must-haves for fans of the show.
great if you loved the show Jun 27, 2007

this is a good purchase if you are a big fan of the show and want some sew stories. it isnt that well written( obvouisly not by groening). the problem is that the tv shows jokes had a lot to do with timing. thats hard to replicate as a comic.but ienjoyed it being a big fan of the show.
for added fun.. read it out loud and try to do the voices.!!!

Graphic SF Reader Sep 03, 2007
By Blue Tyson
"- Research Finished"
This is really pretty entertaining. There are multiple spoofs and satires in here, from short movie blobs, and the robot killer santa vs the robot dealer to the more clever versions of the Terminator.
Not sure who came up with Fry's X-Men dream, but that was definitely funny, and well done, particularly with him dressed as Phoenix.

 Am I tainted by being a Futurama fan? Jan 09, 2006
By R Schmidt
I was a Futurama fan from the beginning of this series. I got others involved as fans. And although this series doesn't have the lingering power of the Simpsons, it was entertaining, witty, and rewarding to the fan who learned the nuances of the characters.
With that said, Futurama Adventures was disappointing. And I'm not really sure that I can tell you why! It wasn't "entertaining, witty, and rewarding to the fan who learned the nuances of the characters." It was flat, bland, and not very entertaining.
I think I have been totally contaminated by knowing Futurama as a television series. I compare the printed version to that audio-visual version, and it loses badly. The tone in the voices, the shrugging of Fry's shoulder, the burping of Bender... it is the little things that make these characters "believable" and "adorable." Take them away, and you get flat, bland, etc. I feel the same way about the Simpsons books.
So... thumbs up for Futurama! If you want to know this series and these characters, get the DVDs. You won't get to know Fry by reading this book.
