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
@Tomb: R.O.A.C.H.: I agree. Stupid Hulu. You don't wanna share your free show with the others? Ok. Canada's just called, they want their comedians back. And the Russians want their Hockey Players. And Japan wants its mangas back. #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
Agreed, so tired of hearing about most of what DC or Marvel has to offer.... YAAAAWWWWN. Tired and old.
How about covering something cool like Atomic Robo or King City? Give us some independent GOOD stuff. Why do we need io9 to tell us about what the majors are doing? As if it's not everywhere else.
@BellaCroesus: I'm going to have to second you. The truth in your comment is almost but not quite breached by your snark.
It would be very nice to have a well-read indie comic fetishist recommend the obscure stuff to us.

This picture really confirms the age-old crush I have always had on Saturn Girl from the very first moment I saw the original silver-age Legion comics.
@van_line: It's all of them. One is traveling the Multiverse, one is on Earth Prime and the one in Geoff John's recent stuff, the originals are the current future.

Also, Canada wants our hockey players back too. And our doctors.

I'm still not quite sure how I felt about it, other than Wolverine's voice was COMPLETELY wrong. #spiderwomanagentofsword

Also even though I read Legion of 3 Worlds I still don't know which Legion is the current Legion.
