    I watched it on YouTube the other day. It's a lot better than the Watchmen one, but at most it could be used as a commercial for getting people interested in new title. #spiderwomanagentofsword

    Stupid questions alert; What exactly is a "motion comic"? How is it different from a cartoon? #spiderwomanagentofsword

    @Brian Fowler: There's very little animation -- it's mostly still shots with isolated movement. There's no fundamental difference -- it's a matter of degree and style -- but it's different enough that Marvel presumably wanted people to understand it wasn't something like Justice League (or even Superfriends). #spiderwomanagentofsword

    It sounds interesting, but the motion comic format hasn't impressed me much. I'll keep checking them out as long as they are free, but so far it just feels like somone reading a comic to me, and I don't really need my bedtime stories read to me... anymore. #spiderwomanagentofsword

    @BlueBeard: About 30 years ago, a fledgling Nickelodeon Network would show a comic book page on the t.v. while someone narrated it. Loved that show. 30 years ago. (N.B.: 30 years is long enough that I could be wrong about it being Nickelodeon) #spiderwomanagentofsword

    You know I payed for the whole thing to support the comic industry's attempt at moving in a new direction. I feel like I was burned.

    It also offends me that they are trying to test new formats but they are also releasing this in print. Way to stick to your guns Marvel. #spiderwomanagentofsword
