Simpsons Comics Big Bonanza: Big Bonaza

Simpsons Comics #28-31

by Matt Groening

In this new compilation, the Simpsons travel to the land of Krustonia, Homer Simpson vies for the Springfield wrestling championship, Mr. Burns clones a plant full of Smitherses, and Homer contracts amnesia and thinks he is Radioactive Man. This is the eighth book in our comic book compilation series by Matt Groening. Here' s a look at the Simpsons' latest antics:

#28: Come to the land ruled by the funniest man ever to secede from the United States for tax purposes: Krusty the Clown! See a page torn from our nation' s history and a new chapter taped in neatly so the pages don' t stick together!

#29: Let' s get ready to Ruuuuuuuuuumble! Prepare yourself for a battle royale with cheese as Homer J. throws his fat into the ring in a quest to become the wrasslin' champeen of all Springfield!

#30: Montgomery Burns has fired every one of his employees and has replaced them with clones of Waylon Smithers! Yet, it isn' t long before these Smitherses are at each others throats, throwing the plant into chaos as each vies to be the object of Burns' affections! Can the one, true Smithers save the plant before it' s torn apart by his neatly dressed, gene-spliced brethren?

#31: Homer Simpson IS Radioactive Man! At least, that' s what he thinks after contracting a nasty case of amnesia en route to a costume party. This fusion delusion leads to confusion and forced seclusion in Springfield' s foremost mental institution!

Why was I so obsessed with these as a child when 30% of the humor went over my head? We will never know. Anyway I have vivid memories of “Smitherses!” and it’s the best one in this comic Go my gay clones.

Unexpected laughter as usual....Lisa's dream house is great! I want mine drawn too :)
The economic model of dealer anxiety, supply and time remaining is though-provoking.

Mauvaise traduction avec des fautes partout…

Another collection of Simpsons adventures stuffed full of bonus content. Well worth a read for fans of The Simpsons.

[Brian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Simpsons comics are an enjoyable thing, especially when you consider how they've yet to ape any plots from the long-running TV series. However, this collection is really hodgepodge so there's no real connection (like Treehouse of Horror stories). That's a bit of a bummer, but it's still enjoyable.

This was a decent one. Simpsons comics are generally amusing.

Bit of a middling collection, though mainly because of the last story. Still, a good diversion
