“Our humble aim,” writes Futurama Comics creator Matt Groening in the foreword to the series’ first issue, “is to both honor science fiction and to make fun of the genre’s built in absurdities…” Futurama Comics, based upon the hit animated Fox television show, is an outrageously funny and often strange world envisioned by Groening, the same man responsible for the wildly popular television series, The Simpsons. Futurama Comics follows the adventures of seven very different employees of Planet Express Delivery Service as they try to make a living in the year 3000. Making up the three core members of the cast are Bender the booze-driven robot, Fry a cryogenically frozen delivery boy from the 20th century, and Leela the one-eyed captain of the delivery spaceship. Most of their adventures circle around the rather feeble-minded Fry’s nostalgic reminiscing of life in the 20th Century and his search to share his previous life with his new friends, often ending with disastrous results.
