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.
Futurama is such a classic!
ReplyDeleteThat's easy for Tony to say.
ReplyDeleteOK! Being serious, now. Has Bender ever met Magnus the Robot Fighter?
ReplyDeleteAh! Good team up Ross. I just hope Bender won't have repulsor rays installed. "Spirit" brothers at heart as well.
ReplyDeleteAn abridged version of how Hulu got Bender's voice actor to rejoin the cast:
ReplyDeleteJohn 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!
sometimes a comic is just waiting to be unleashed on the world, this is definitely one of them, - hic burp, opening scene in a bar,
ReplyDeleteFun cover. Fun story potential. Epic alliteration.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I personally would buy this comic, but it'd be sure to fly off the shelves.
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:
ReplyDelete"STARK-RAVEN MAD!"
This is such a STARK contrast to the show....now, if Steve Rogers saw the show, how would he react to it?
ReplyDeleteBust a "Cap" up Bender's shiny metal butt?
ReplyDeleteI thought IM no longer had Bender’s.
ReplyDeleteYeah, right. And Megalodons still live at the bottom of the Mindanao Trench. ;-)
ReplyDelete@Anon1212: no spoilers, please! I plan to see MEG 2 this weekend.
ReplyDelete@Carycomic: me, too! Let me know if you liked it.
ReplyDelete@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?
ReplyDeleteDid 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.
