Futurama Returns Comic
Title: Futurama Returns!
Layouts: Bill Morrison
Penciller: Jason Ho
Inks: Mike Rote
Colors: Nathan Kane
Letters: Karen Bates

This comic serves as a transition from the ending of the Futurama run on Fox and the re-boot at Comedy Central with the ordering of 4 straight to DVD movies that would later be chopped up in to a total of 16 individual half hour episodes to be shown first on Comedy Central.

With the poor treatment that Futurama received from the Fox Network the creative team behind this comic took many liberties in taking shots at their former network, timeslot, and the geek fans who demanded more Futurama

The story revolves around the Planet Express crew completing their original 72 'episode' deliveries and Planet Express going out of business but not before having to relive all their original missions over and over through a time warp thanks to the Carton Network when Planet Express is 'cancelled' from future 'episodes' by the Box Network. Carton Network, however comes to the rescue and orders four (4) additional missions to the delight of a throng of screaming Futurama geeks who are attending Package-Con in San Diego.
