Futurama Comics #37

Futurama Comics issue number 37 entitled Full Metal Racket was released Wednesday, May 28, 2008 but didn't arrive into stores until Thursday because of the Memorial Day weekend. Issue #37 was written by Ian Boothby and penciled by James Lloyd.  Fry, Leela and Bender are on a mission to deliver food to a living planet when they pick-up a couple of hitch-hikers who take the three to liberate them because they are being over worked. Fry and Leela are dropped off on a planet with fresh vegetables, farm equipment and TRANSFARMERS!  As the duo run for their lives they stumble upon a hole that drops them underground to find a woman by the name of Pamela and Zapp Brannigan!   Bender returns back to Earth and comes up with a scheme that will get him rich by reversing the earth's magnetic field. He asks the professor for help but something goes wrong and Bender becomes a reverse magnet. So now he's not able to get near anything metal including booze, floozies, suicide booths, guillotines and professor's ultimate nullifier. Meanwhile, Fry and Zapp try to come up with their own plan on escaping the planet while Leela and Pamela come up with their own. Of course Fry and Zapp's plan fails and they realize that the women's plan of building a space ship out of natural material is much better. They return to Earth to find Bender about to catapult himself to the sun since there is no point in living. But Bender finds the space ship a much better idea than his catapult and tries to head for the sun only to explode and come plummeting back to the ground to find...

It was great to see Zapp in this issue. He's always great for a laugh and the best part is when your reading the comic you can hear his voice as you read the words.  The beginning about Pac-Man chasing the little balls of food and then getting distracted by the Giant Dehydrated Snacks was funny. Tinny Tim makes an appearance as well.   Also Bender's favorite drink makes a couple of appearances as well "Olde Fortan".  There is also a little thing dedicated to Frank Miller. But honestly the best part was Zapp's appearance. 

Best Moments: Zapp Brannigan! Pac-Man explained. Bender exploiting the Space Scouts.

Worst Moments: Once again the ending came so abrupt and I don't understand how Bender became demagnetized.
