The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis II #2 closes out the second crossover between the Springfield and Planet Express worlds. For those who missed out on the first issue, it does a pretty good job of bringing up the major plot points. Namely, fictional characters -- and this would include the Simpsons -- have broken through into the real world. There is a sneaky use of a deus ex machina to clean up the whole mess of the situation which turns out to be some good clean fun.

Freedom Force #3 continues to blaze on through at their break neck pace. If last issue's mob of characters wasn't enough, there are even more new faces and costumes to be had this time around. Liberty Lad tackles the letters pages and it's all like one of those Amalgam comics of a few years ago. The energy is just sheer and the speed is near obliterating. And where is the time for a rest and chance to develop characters? Nowhere. Yet despite this, why then is there a compelling want for the fourth issue?
