I've read them - occasionally there's a good story, but they seem to be written with a younger audience in mind.

The first 9-10 comics are available in book form; try reading one of those. (The comic books themselves are up to #29, I think; they come out once every three months.)

The covers are good: "In Glorious 2D! No Glasses Required! (Unless you wear glasses)" the insides less so.

I've only read 5 or 6 (the 4 in Futurama-Orama and a couple of individual issues), I didn't really find them funny- they had the occasional moment, but the was no character humor and really unoriginal plots.

I do collect Futurama Comics. I have the Futurama-o-rama collection and issues #1, 10, 17-19, 22-29 and I must say that not all of them are great. If you miss Futurama than you should read these because there are new stories every 2 months but not always will they be good. The best ones (that I've read) are #1, 3, 17-19, 26, and 28. Also, the Futurama/Simpsons Crossover Crisis' are really good and worth a look. If you can't find many of the comics and don't really want to collect them, you can always buy (or take out from the library) the three available trade paperbacks of Futurama Comics.

Also, if you like the Simpsons, I think Bart Simpson comics and Simpsons Classics are worth a look, too. Hope this helps!
