The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis

I haven't really watched The Simpsons in years, but I used to enjoy it a lot, and I'm a huge fan of Futurama, so I found this comic crossover story difficult to resist. And I'm glad I didn't! Writer Ian Boothby cleverly turns the awkward fact that The Simpsons is fictional in Futurama's universe (and vice versa) from a potential problem into a storytelling asset, and the plot is full of wacky hijinks of exactly the kind you'd hope for. Watching these characters meeting each other is fun, and the humor is hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud on almost every page.

This book also features an impressive gallery of additonal artwork, some rough sketches for those interested in the making-of stuff, an extra-crossovery cardboard show more slipcover, and a bonus copy of Simpsons Comics #1 stuck into a pouch in the back cover. show less

As others have remarked, both The Simpsons and Futurama are funnier in motion than statically presented. However, the comic format allows time to explore visual details. The production on this volume is of high quality with crisp inking. Line, color, and composition seem slightly pitched toward the Simpsons style.

A good graphic novel for the first part. But the section of the pencil sketches drug on for too long. Also included a reprint of Simpson's Comics #1.

Simply epic. The crossover we've all been waiting for. And it's funny, too.

Curiosa mezcla para fans de ambas series. Me he reído mucho con las dispares situaciones que se plantean, aunque en algunos puntos flojea el guión y para el precio tan elevado que tiene sabe a poco.
