By Rogers and Ortiz.
Lisa needs a little one-on-one time with Marge. But, during their afternoon skate-date in the park, Marge displays her fast-breaking and bone-crunching moves on an unsuspecting purse snatcher, and as fast as you can turn the page, Marge becomes Springfieldís new Roller Derby Queen -- leaving Lisa behind to eat her dust! 32 pages, $2.99.
FUTURAMA COMICS #39
By Boothby and Lloyd.
When you've time-traveled as much as Bender has, it can really cause a lot of wear and tear on the ol' motherboard. That's why the recently manufactured robot finds himself forced into early retirement at a nursing home for aged automatons, and unless Fry and Leela find a way to set him free, Bender's very likely to "rust in peace."
32 pages, $2.99.
BART SIMPSON'S TREEHOUSE OF HORROR #14
By Hernandez, Niles and Fabry.
Bart Simpson spins some thrillifying chiller-diller horror stories with a little help from some of comicdom's most innovative storytellers! First up, modern masters of horror comics Steve Niles and Glenn Fabry concoct a dread-filled tale of woe, when a freak solar eclipse leads to an onslaught of vampire attacks, and the people of Springfield learn that there is nothing to fear but Nosferatu himself! Then independent comic creator and magical realist Gilbert Hernandez re-invents one of his favorite cult films, Frankenstein Conquers the World, featuring Homer Simpson as a gluttonously destructive force of nature -- so what else is new?
32 pages, $2.99.
