What would happen if the Planet Express crew and the citizens of New York City in the 31st Century met the Simpsons and the citizens of Springfield . . . and how is it even possible? Prepare yourself for a Simpsons saga filled with Futurama! A Futurama fable suffused with the Simpsons! Featuring a plethora of pleasing plot devices including: evil brain spawn, lactose-intolerant space aliens, a giant ball of yarn, flying cars, mistaken identities, world domination, the brittle fabric of reality torn asunder, a comic book-collecting sentient planet, the Dewey Decimal system, self-eating watermelons, slave labor, space pirates, power-crazed vampires, super hero battles, unflattering underwear, mad science run amok, and much, much more! This is the epic story that you've been waiting for . . . a story so big, so ambitious, so sweeping that it can only be told in a 208-page, large format, slip-cased edition, complete with new material, supplemental stories, preliminary sketches, character designs, and a pin-up gallery featuring the talents of comics industry luminaries Alex Ross, Sergio Aragonés, Geof Darrow, Kyle Baker, Peter Kuper, and Bernie Wrightson, among others. It's a comic convergence on a reality ripping, time altering, space traveling, intergalactic scale! It's The Simpsons Futurama Crossover CrisisUncut and all comedy! First published in 2002 and 2005 as two two-part, comic book mini-series (Futurama/Simpsons Infinitely Secret Crossover Crisis and The Simpsons/Futurama Crossover Crisis II), these four hard-to-find comics are collected together for the first time in a hardcover collection, encased in a die-cut slipcase, and packaged with a reprint of the very first Eisner Award-winning issue of Simpsons Comics from 1993. “Abrams’ initial release is a beautifully designed package, a glossy hardcover in a glossier slipcover, as bright and colorful as a grab-bag bin in a candy-store.”―The Onion AV ClubFrom Publishers Weekly Two classic animated series are brought together in a comic that offers many surprises, including how well it all works when transported to a new medium. Although both sources are the creation of cartoonist Matt Groening, the broadcast runs of each series referred to the other as works of fiction within their own universes, perhaps seeking to avoid the temptation of an attention grabbing crossover. And yet somehow this assemblage ably accomplishes just such a task while remaining faithful to the source materials. When Futurama's crew from the Planet Express delivery service become trapped in the fictional world of a Simpsons comic book, they must escape from Springfield. But shortly afterward they open a rift that brings the Simpsons characters into the Planet Express world, where the fictional characters must be rescued and returned to the pages of their comic book. Boothby's writing excels at letting each universe and the characters in them maintain their subtly distinct identities even when they blend. The overarching story for the book is designed to easily allow opportunities for affectionate references to comics, to science fiction, and to notable works of fiction. While the Simpsons comics included in the collection are not as strong, the crossover story takes what could have been a simple throwaway gag and instead crafts a funny, intricately detailed story.

My first Bongo comic.
I’m a big fan of both the Simpsons and Futurama(a bit more Futurama) so a crossover over between the two shows is something I always wanted to see. We began with Fry reading a Simpsons comic on the Planet Express ship with the crew on their way a another delivery when they come across the brains from the episode the day the earth stood stupid. The brains repeating a tactic used in that episode, send the crew into a book or in this case comic. They end up spend around Springfield and interacting with various charters. This is best part of the book seeing the characters meeting and bonding and we have some good pairings like Homer and Bender, Bart and Fry, Lisa and Leela who actorly form a surprising nice friendship. Even some of the of the minor got a chance to shine like how MR Burns meets a certain evil old lady from the future. By the end of the first half the Professor finds a way to get the Futurama crew back to their own world but they accidentally bring the people of Springfield with and that’s where things really get crazy. To quickly compare this to the crossover episode Simpsorama, that episode was ok but it was far too short and only Homer and Bender get enough screen time to really be funny. This is the superior crossover, it does more with the concept and the characters have more room to breathe. The book also has two stond alone stories the first is Hail to the cat where due to an error Lisa’s cat ends up running against Mayor Quimby. Sounds stupid but leads to funny twist that you will not see coming. The second is a rather short story, Chili Chili Bang Bang staring Chief Wiggum. Tying into the episode The Mysterious Voyage of Homer, Wiggum himself tries the Chili he had made and goes and his little vision quest with a talking puppy. Both these stories are fun but if you don't like them you can just skip them. It also has a single issue, a reprint of the first issue of the Simpsons comic. It’s a fun read and probably better than most of the newer episodes of the show. Lastly it comes with artwork and a cover galley, all of which are quite lovely. Overall if you if you are a fan of Matt Groening's work I highly recommend this. Personify it made me want to read more of Bongo comics as it seems this where the Simpsons humour still lives and where I can see more adventures of the Planet Express crew.

Great comic book
Bought for 10 year old son. He really enjoys this and I have looked at it too. Witty nod funny as you'd expect. It's a large book, so good value as well.

Value for money
I was very impressed with this. My daughter loves both comics and was thrilled with this. I thought it would be just a thinish comic but it's a nice thick hardback with lots of content. Mt daughter tells me the story is good as well.

Item incrível
Item incrível para fãs de Simpsons e Futurama! Lançado em 2010 me surpreende ainda existirem cópias disponíveis. A versão em capa dura é muito linda, item de colecionador mesmo. Meu ponto negativo foi em relação à entrega, o produto não veio lacrado, com aparência de usado.

Un crossover spettacolare!
Questo crossover è fatto benissimo. Ci sono quasi tutti i personaggi della serie de "I Simpson" e quasi tutti quelli di "Futurama". Questo fumetto spettacolare contiene quattro storie appartenenti al crossover e tre fumetti de "I Simpson" tra cui il primo numero. Un capolavoro da avere assolutamente, specialmente se si è amanti della serie.

Highly recommended
Wow just received it today and I love it. Came brand new as order however I did wished that it came in the plastic wrap like what the other reviewer said so you can get that nice feeling when you open it and it helps with packaging but maybe the manufacturing doesn’t initially do wrapping for it? It came in a very nice casing as shown in my video and I absolutely love it and didn’t expected that. The pages were colorful and high quality. The last few pages has very nice artwork. It’s not only a comic book to read but it’s also a collectible for Simpson fans. I love the stories of these crossovers. I hope they make more. Highly recommended and pricing is pretty fair being that it is hardcover. Thanks!

BEAUTIFUL ART WORK!
I haven't read it yet so I don't know what the content is like, but I purchased this as a gift for somebody and I almost want to keep it for myself instead LOL I am a massive Futurama and Simpsons fan, and seeing the cover for the first time literally made my heart skip a beat! At this point, even if the content is so so, I would still say the price is pretty darn good for the Hefty book you get and the good quality it comes in 👍🏼
