The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis



Title
The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis

Library Link
The Simpsons Futurama crossover crisis / [Matt Groening] Groening, Matt.

10 Second Review
From Booklist
"How much satire can you pack into a single graphic novel? Well, you’ve got The Simpsons, with its cutting perspective on culture and family life; you’ve got Futurama, which hits pop culture and sci-fi tropes with Groening’s patented scathing wit; and you’ve got cosmic-scale comic-book mega-crossover events that the Big Two (Marvel and DC) churn out nonstop, which this book sends up from start to finish, right down to its hardbound, slipcased format."

Yeah, yeah...but is it funny? 
Not so much. 
While the art is excellent the dialog doesn't seem to transfer very well to the comic medium.
Might appeal to younger teens.

Notes
Includes a separate comic book 'The Amazing Colossal Homer."

Learning Curve
Low: Good for new readers
