Comic-Con Animation Highlights: "Futurama"

What "Futurama" lacked in spoilers, they made up for it in pure Comic Con geekiness.




"Futurama" showed us a clip of what Comic Con might be like in the year 3010, where "Simpsons" and "Futurama" creator Matt Groening (or his disembodied head in a jar) conducts a panel -- threatening to shoot anyone who dares ask him a question about when the next "Simpsons" movie will be released.

Inevitably, Bender decides to do just that. Guess what happens?









-- One of Matt Groening's favorite new episodes will air next week, and will see the Professor invent a time machine that supposedly only goes forward.







-- Fry's pursuit of Leela will continue; their romance will be a theme throughout the season.







-- Amy and the Professor will switch bodies in order for the Professor to cheat death.







-- Grossest Comic Con moment goes to the Professor and Dr. Zoidberg, who engage in an icky (and passionate kiss).







-- We'll get to see what Planet Express looks like in 3030.
