Check out the Astonishing X-Men trailer..
What do you think about this? Just a shoddy cartoon, or just another new way to read a comic?
It's in a weird place... the more you continue to refine the animation, the closer you get to full on cartoon. Seems like an awkward line they're straddling here.

Wasn't The Maxx on Mtv kinda like this, and was pretty well received.
I'm all for it. It looks good, and puts AE to good use.- yeah it was like this sort of but was actually supposed to be an animated versionzman
- Yeah The Maxxx was sort of a hybrid. Used both techniques. I truly loved that show.harlequino

Not too hip to the Xmen one, but I am very much enjoying the Spider Woman one. All for this kind of stuff. Especially if it evolves and it becomes it's own little thing. Not quite a comic, not quite a cartoon, but closer to small snipets of motion graphics. I hope they continue.
PS - i would kill to produce these things for Marvel.

I think this is really cool. The production technique to pull this off is on much smaller scale than doing an actual toon and you can use resources from the comic itself.

no.
part of the great escape of comics and books and anything where you're reading really is the ability to put together the pieces in your mind, create the universe yourself and not have every little sound or action be spoon fed to you.
shit like this means everyone's experience with the medium will be exactly the same, with little to no imagination involved on what the characters sound like, the pace of the story, what else might be happening.
- like it matters though its just a different medium. I was actually thinking if they release the same comics in book form or not.zman

Pretty cool, actually. At least it's pretty well done. Hopefully this doesn't lead to the end of print comics, though. You don't get to feel the pages this way.
