Australian Comics Or American Comics? Editorial #1 - 25th January 2003.
I have
been wondering in the city of Melbourne lately & I happened to
wonder into a store called 'Minotaur', its a comic book shop.
I was
looking around for any comics that had anything to do with Simpsons or
Futurama comics and I found Futurama issue #10 there. I was
amazed. In America, their up to Issue #10, while in Australia
their up to issue #4, but what I also acknowledge was there
paper is actually real comic paper, very lite indeed. Where our
paper is harder which I think is better since our comics
wouldn't
damage that easily.
Also, remember Bongo do distribute comics worldwide which
include the same comic stories and make minor adjustments, such
as the front cover would be altered.
If you are an Australian or New Zealand collector of the Simpsons Comics
then try to avoid 'Direct Editions' (which is located on the barcode) they
are usually American comics.
The Bart Simpson comics in America are the same size as the Monthly comics
and they do not contain any 'FREE' RM (Radioactive Man) comics.
Where in Australia, Bart Simpson Comics are half the size and it contains RM comics for free.
It really does not matter whether you get Direct or not
editions.
One more
thing, I ask the comic book guy there, what's the difference between 'Direct Editions'
compared to others that don't say that, he said "Direct Editions are given to
comic book stores and the others are given to news agencies", so its really
up to you to choose which edition you get. In my opinion, the
ones that don't have direct editions on them are better.
Top 10 Reasons Why Simpsons Are The Best Show. Editorial #2 - 14th February
2003.
I have just been surfing the net & found this rather interesting piece of
information.
THE TOP
TEN REASONS THAT THE SIMPSONS ARE THE BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION:
10)
Most dangerous hair styles (i.e. Maggie, Bart, and Lisa)
9)
Homer represents
97%
of the people who watch the Simpsons
8)
Two words: Yellow Skin
7)
Bart is a good role model
6)
Itchy And Scratchy Episodes!!
5)
The witty chalkboard and couch scenes at the beginning
4)
Maggie's constant pacifier noise
3)
Reliable non-changing lifestyle
2)
Always wear the same clothes
1)
One Word: "DOH!!!!!!!!!"
Well there you have it. Pretty good reasons
don't you think? ;)
What's Better? Editorial #3 - 23rd August 2003.
I
was just thinking to myself, what do I like more out of The Simpsons,
Futurama or Life In Hell?
I was more cogitating towards the Simpsons with good reason of course. I
have basically grew up with them by watching and reading them throughout the years.
Then
my next thought was Futurama. Futurama is almost as funny and witty as the
Simpsons, but Simpsons appeal more to me, although Futurama came a very close
second.
Then Life In Hell was my third choice because I had no other choice left!
Just joking. Life In Hell had no TV
series for them and they were way before my time, peaking in the 1980's. I didn't really get to
read a lot of them either, where both Simpsons and Futurama have there own
TV show & Comic Books.
Life In Hell would of been a pretty good show to if
they made one for it.
Something for the creators of The Simpsons to think about.
DVD Madness. Editorial #4 - 9th September, 2003.
Just food for thought on the DVD's.
Although they are coming out,
wouldn't it be better if they would release three seasonal DVD's in
a year. Rather then waiting one season DVD to come out every year.
By the time the 4th season DVD comes out it will be late 2004, and
the next will probably be in 2005 and that's only season 5. Come
to think about it, by the time the 10th DVD comes out it will be
in the next six years!
Don't get me wrong, they might release three
every year, who knows? But it's up to them if they want to.
Perchance
if these DVD's sell quick and make lots of profit for them,
perhaps
then they might be thinking about releasing at least two DVD's each
year.
Come to think of it, their doing a great job with these DVD's.
Maybe that's why I am so eager for them to release all season's as
quick as they can. The box sets look fantastic, the episodes are
crazy and the whole idea of having the whole set is mind-blowing!
Maybe using strong words but I WANT ALL SEASON'S NOW!!
The Simpsons Hit & Run. Editorial #5 - 26th October, 2003.
Well, finally! After a dozen years, the everlasting primetime
cartoon finally gets a great tie-in -- and it's a hilarious rip-off
of Grand Theft Auto.
Radical Entertainment has done a great job into making a game that's
appreciated by Simpsons fans and gamers everywhere. To think that it has
taken them so long to make a game that's of good quality. It makes you think
what was the point of making the games like Simpsons Wrestling? That
received a score of 13% out of 100%.
It's about time game
developers put time and effort into making Simpsons games.
The Simpsons is a
great show and they never fail to bring us laughs! I'm sure from now on will
be seeing quality games from game developers over the next few years on
future consoles. If not, then I'm sure people reviewing the game will say
another Simpsons game worth shipping back to the developer.
I'll leave you
on one note, IF YOUR A SIMPSONS FAN MAKE SURE YOU BUY THIS GAME. The
Simpsons Hit & Run Available on Nintendo GAMECUBE, PS2 & X-Box.
A Horror Filled Comic. Editorial #6 - 4th December, 2003.
After reading the new Treehouse of horror issue #9, I found it
to be a bit too short
compared to the other 8.
Although it was an excellent comic to
read don't get me wrong their, but I would of thought they could of made a
story for 'Margie's Baby'
which only features a cover located at the end cover of the
comic.
They could of developed a story that was only 8-10
pages long, other then to make only a cover.
I also know that they are busy
bunch of people (Bongo) and here and there need to cut down on the amount of pages
and stories they do. So, enough of the negative points then and get on with
the positive.
This comic is pure 'Quality'. Very funny and clever in the way
they go about delivering the jokes. They also use the theme and movie Lord
of the Rings.
Overall this comic is presented well and a great buy for
anyone that loves a laugh!
Simpsons Coming To An End? Or is it Movie Madness? Editorial #7
- 20th May 2004. (SPECIAL EDITION)
I was reading the Junk Mail section in the Simpsons Comics issue
#85, which is the section I read once I have finished the comic, see if anything
interesting has been written.
One reader wrote in and said that he was on the internet several
months ago, when he went to
www.upcomingmovies.com. There he read that there was
going to be a Simpsons
movie after Matt Groening decides to cancel "The Simpsons" TV
show.
The reader also said if this accusation was true. The people at
Bongo didn't answer the question. Why? Because possibly it is true.
The reader pops another question stating if the TV series stops will you
guy's (at Bongo) stop making The Simpsons comics. Bongo answered the question and said
that "Futurama is no longer on air in the USA, and yet Futurama
Comics is running strong."
Good news and bad news!
If The Simpsons go off
air, the comics will continue to roll. For the bad news is
there will be no more NEW Simpsons episodes!
Just to sad to
think about that. No Simpsons, a family that you/we have grown up
with for the last 16 years. With the strong Simpson fan-base, I don't think The
Simpsons will die anytime soon.
For The Simpsons movie? There will be one. I have heard from
other
sources that there might even be a Simpsons movie 2. So who
knows? Might even become a trilogy. Whatever happens in the next 2-3 years
take it from Bongo, "...you can rest
assured that, somehow, somewhere, it will always include "The
Simpsons."
