Captain Brannigan: The Windbag Soldier is the seventy-sixth comic issue, expected to be released on 2 September, 2015 [1] in the US.

The Story

At last it can be told, the true story of DOOP's greatest hero, Zapp Brannigan! We're talking about the "universal" super soldier who kept the galaxy safe time and time again with his faithful friend and first officer Kif Kroker at his side... and not the buffoonish windbag who continues to fail upwards much to that same ill-fated first officer's frequent embarrassment.

Additional Info

    Page: Cover
    Location: Omicronian armband
    Language: AL1
    Translation: "8". The armband has two characters on it, the first of which appears to be an English letter 'O' - the first letter from 'Omicron Persei'.

Goofs

  • Based on Mom and Farnsworth's hair styles, the flashbacks presumably take place closer to 2927 (The Tip of the Zoidberg) than 30 years before Bender's Game. However Nixon didn't become president until 3000 in A Head in the Polls. Also during this 2900s flashback, Zapp has designed and begun wearing he velour uniforms that were new in early 3000 during McNeal's presidency.
  • Glab and DOOP appear to report to the president.
  • The statue of Zapp on Teslatron appears to be wearing his Marveleers uniform. He was already incompetent by the time he started wearing that uniform.

Special Features

Allusions

  • Zapp is frozen in a manner similar to Han Solo in Star Wars
  • The Marveleers bear a striking resemblance to the Avengers lineup seen in the 2012 film.
    • Hulk's counterpart, Bulk, is coloured Simpsons yellow.
