Always great. Love a Simpson comic. Never disappointed

While it's fun to see the Simpsons and Futurama characters interacting with the usual humor of each, the jokes fell a bit flat at times, or felt too simple for my tastes. That said, the packaging of this collection is EXCELLENT, with a nice hardcover binding and case, plus plethora of alternate covers, bonus artwork, pencil sketches, and a reprinting of Simpsons Comics #1 (where the jokes feel a bit fresher!). A nice shelf item at the very least!

What can I say except, "Perfect." For Simpsons fans, this is as close as we get to heaven.

What it's about: This crossover posits that Futurama is the "real world" and The Simpsons is just a cartoon. As part of their evil plot, the evil brains featured in in the Futurama TV series try to send the Planet Express crew into literature - where they accidentally land in a Simpsons comic book. Hijinks ensue, which eventually threaten New New York with complete destruction if the Simpsons don't work with the Planet Express team to overcome the situation.
What I thought: There were some very fun moments throughout this graphic novel that hearken back to classic episodes of each of the TV shows.
Why I rated it like I did: Overall, the joke density was a bit too low, and the targets a little too random, for my tastes. The book never quite managed to capture the feeling of an episode of either show (or at least, not a good one).

Futurama and The Simpsons are two of my favourite TV shows of all time and this crossover was an entertaining read. It's just one of those comic books you would read once and then just forget about.
