Futurama Comics #41

Eric Rogers crafts an engrossing story with romantic intrigue and an insidious plot hatched by a pair of arch-villains. John Delaney and Dan Davis draw down the sight gags and slapstick. Instead, they favor the accenting of Leela's sensuality as for example the strap to her slip falls coquettishly off her shoulder. Zapp and Kif look downright creepy, as do the cadets. Dan Davis' shadow-work underscores the eerie atmosphere. Add Nathan Kane's kaleidoscope of colors, and you've got yourself a perfect Futurama adventure that's more dramatic than a number of Big Stupid Events I could name. Read Full Review
