Summary: For Younger Simpsons Fans Only
Review: "Simpsons Comics Royale" doesn't scratch the itch of an adult Simpsons aficionado like some of the other editions I've read. The problem is strictly in the writing - it just isn't all that funny. The jokes are few and far between and I did not have a single out loud laugh.

"Wall or Nothing" is a take off on the Simpsons' episode where Springfield is divided into two towns. There is a short pairing of Krusty with Mr. Teeny (one of my favorite minor characters) and even a parody of those one page commercials for Hostess with Radiactive Man. There are additional stories with Krusty (making a movie and another where he travels back in time), Radioactive Man (in a Bizaro take off), Itchy and Scratchy, one with the entire Simpson clan and one featuring Lisa (in a bizarre 'Alice in Wonderland meets the Phantom tollbooth"). Simpson creator, Matt Groening, includes some behind-the-scenes tidbits, but even these are flat.

I recommend passing on this collection unless its for much younger fans and instead picking up the "Simpsons Comics Unchained" instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 'Lisa in Wordland' alone earns this 5 stars
Review: As an avid Lisa Simpson fan, I have hunted high and low for Lisa Comics #1:Lisa in Wordland (ca. 1995). I have finally found it in this comic collection. Besides Lisa in Wordland (perhaps the most thought-provoking comic in the Simpsons comics series), I also enjoyed most of the other comics and Matt Groening articles in this volume. Two weak points: The one where Krusty gets the Hollywood job wasn't that funny, and the first comic had a plot IDENTICAL to a TV episode (the Old/New Springfield one). However, I doubt there will be a Lisa Comics #2 anytime soon (Lisa in Numberland would be a good idea, since I AM a math person.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best one yet!!

It has more pages , and will give you bigger belly laughs than ever before!!! It contains many stories and comics that will have you rollin' on the floor!!! I would reccomend this to anyone even if you're not a Simpsons fan!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not Just Another Simpsons Comic
Review: I am a pretty rabid fan of the Simpsons, so I own a few of the comics and comic collections. This is not like the other comic collections where a few books are put together. These are new comics, along with comic book versions of episodes from the series. Reading the "episodes" is pretty cool in and of itself. There are also 15 short essays from Matt Groening - always good to have words direct from the master. He covers a lot of new topics like why Bart's hair is spikey, which character he likes the best, etc. Don't miss the "47 Secrets About The Simpsons, a Poem of Sorts, and Some Filler" chapter! A great buy for any Simpsons fan, a must buy for fanatics!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simpsons At its best
Review: I've been watching the Simpsons for a while and just got this book for fun. Its great and even more craziness in one book. This book is also huge and full of great essays by Matt Groening. This book has 10 stories of the Simpsons everything form Itchy & Scratchy to how comics are made. This is a great book and a must for Simpsons fans.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: serch put it well.
Review: It just wasn't very funny.
I agree with pretty much everything serch said.

Not a big laugh to be found here, there's some kay spots though.
The Lisa story is just bad.

Summary: Simpsons Comics at its Best!
Review: Out of my humongous Comic book library, this comic is one of my favorite. It's not like the other Simpsons Comics that I have. One thing is that this comic seems to have used water color which makes the pages seem more smoother and the pictures more realistic. The Comic contains a whole lot of other single Simpsons Comic Books into this one jampacked Comic. One of my favorite Comics here have to be "The Incredibly Stimulating Life of Sideshow Mel" which has no actual talking going on but it just shows Sideshow Mel going to the laundry and meeting up with an odd looking dog ...it's sort of hard to explain but it actually looks so boring that its amusing. This is a worthy addition to any Comic Book Collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this book is hilarious

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulously funny and satirical stories
Review: The latest in the Simpson's family comic book anthologies, Simpsons Comics Royale features the further misadventures of America's favorite animated cartoon family. In addition to the fabulously funny and satirical stories (Walls of Nothing; Double Date; Li'l Goodfellas; The 1001 Costumes of Bartman; Inside Bongo Comics; Krusty's 11; Love Gory; Krusty's Channeling Tips; Planet Of The Strange-O's; and Lisa's Adventures In Wordland), the reader is treated to wonderfully funny and occasionally informative commentaries by Matt Groening. Simpsons Comics Royale is a "must" for the legions of fans following Springfield's favorite family of Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Maggie Simpson, along with all of their friends, neighbors, and fellow Springfieldians!
