Spider-Woman the Motion Comic
art by Alex Maleev
script by Brian Bendis
awesome by Marvel
Tonight, G4TV's Attack of the Show debuted a new music video and theme song for the Spider-Woman Motion Comic from the blockbuster former Daredevil team of Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev. Marvel has been promoting the video all week, and it is worth a look.
What's worth more than just a look is the actual motion comic series.
Marvel has long been a pioneer in digital comics, offering hundreds of new and classic issues for viewing on their website. However, their trailblazing venture into the world of motion comics is nothing short of flippin awesome.
While they could never be a permanent substitute for the good old print versions, these motion comics allowing for a new, unique comic experience. They combine the best parts of animation with the best parts of the still art that we all love from comics. Maleevs haunting, gritty style is captured perfectly since it's the actual artwork and not a translation by an animator. That, coupled with the phenomenal voice acting, sound effects, and Bendis' hard hitting script take the former B-lister Jessica Drew and turn her into something work paying the 99 cents to download from iTunes.
Have your doubts? It's ok. We all did. But, watch the music video below and have all of your fears assuaged. Then, hop over to the Marvel Motion Comics webpage where you can view the first episode of Spider-Woman for free.
