    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

    @collex: but no one wants Beckham back. They can keep him.
    Also, Canada wants our hockey players back too. And our doctors.

    I just watched the whole thing yesterday.

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

    Hulu also recently added Robotech: Macross Saga, Robotech: The Masters & the movie Robotech: the Shadow Chronicles. #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

    I never understood the point of motion comics. It's the bastard child of high quality comics and low budget animation.

    @Belabras: Well, with good voice acting what you get is just that - a television show with striking visuals, made at an extremely low budget.

    If you doubt how good this can be, look up the serial webcomic for Stephen King's "N". It's absolutely outstanding. Amazing, even.
