Bender and Iron Man

 

Futurama is back after several years with brand new episodes on Hulu.  I am looking forward to checking them out.  The original series run is one of the best cartoons ever made and I hope that they can maintain the high standard that was set.  The entire voice cast has returned, which is a big plus.

  2. OK! Being serious, now. Has Bender ever met Magnus the Robot Fighter?

  3. Ah! Good team up Ross. I just hope Bender won't have repulsor rays installed. "Spirit" brothers at heart as well.

  4. An abridged version of how Hulu got Bender's voice actor to rejoin the cast:

    John DiMaggio: I'm not playing Bender again.

    Hulu executives: We'll pay you more money.

    John DiMaggio: (in Bender's voice) I'm back, baby!

  6. Fun cover. Fun story potential. Epic alliteration.

    I don't know that I personally would buy this comic, but it'd be sure to fly off the shelves.

  7. Next up? From the creative mind that brought you "Bent Out Of Shape" comes a sequel starring Iron Man, Alfred E. Neuman and ex-Teen Titan Rachel Roth in:


    "STARK-RAVEN MAD!"

  8. This is such a STARK contrast to the show....now, if Steve Rogers saw the show, how would he react to it?

  14. @Anon1038: just got back from the local cineplex. It wasn't bad! Not exactly faithful to the book sequel. But, sometimes, that's a good thing. I just wish I knew what genuine prehistoric species those "saber-tooth tiger salamanders" were supposed to represent?

  15. Did anybody read Futurama Comics #38? There's a moment where Fry wears Bender's empty casing to become "Iron Fry". The panels also reference Iron Man's first appearance in the comics.
