Hey fans, some news for all you comic book fans. Simpsons Comics from Bongo is going to be releasing the 100th comics in the series in about 2-4 weeks. The comic will be by Boothby, Ortiz, Delaney & Shum.
Bongo celebrates the 100th issue of Simpsons Comics with something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue with the first “clip show” comic book in the history of comicdom. Finally, a brand-new, extra-long, full-length story with no advertisements! When Bart discovers that he and the rest of Springfield have been the subjects of a hundred comic books, he goes on a scavenger hunt for all the issues he can find including; the never before told story of Nuclear Power Man and Iron Foot starring Carl and Lenny, as well the gung ho, time traveling team-up of Raging Sergeant Abe Simpson and the Fighting Hellfish with Sergeant Seymour Skinner and his Grovelin' Grunts. However, Bart's search leads him to discover the terrible truth behind comic book collecting's greatest mystery. Also includes an appearance and art by special guest Sergio Aragones.
Matt Groening, the man behind 'The Simpsons' has revealed he's turned down a proposal to make a feature length episode starring real actors. He reckons fans of the show would hate the idea, but he is pledging to make an animated Simpsons movie.
Matt reckons as long as the creative talent is still flowing, 'The Simpsons' could be here to stay for a long time: "At this point I don't think there's any end in sight. I once said a few years ago that I thought I was closer to the end than the beginning, meaning that, we'd been on air for ten or twelve years at the time and I thought we'd be on another ten years."
"So I don't want to give anybody the wrong idea. Of course the show will end eventually, but not for a long, long time. We've been on the air so long that we've corrupted an entire generation of children and now they've grown up and they're 'Simpsons' writers so the stories are getting really, really weird."

Television's most dysfunctional family are to be axed froms screens before they get too boring.
The man behind Springfield's favourite residents - The Simpsons - says it is becoming increasingly hard to develop new storylines. Matt, 50, told The Sun: "The Simpsons' success has been unbelievable.
"But the show gets harder and harder every year because we are trying to keep surprising the audience, and trying to surprise ourselves.
"I'd love to get to 365 episodes, so there's one for every day of the year with no repeats." He said the final five series would see some of the more peripheral characters, such as Bart's mate Milhouse, getting more prominent roles.
"I think we'll see more and more stories about the other characters of Springfield," he said. Read Here.
