It wasn't too well received, since there was no voice acting - just music and floating elements. This updated version isn't bad - with some careful storyboard planning and the ability to manipulate some of the artwork for effect, you could very well see the next step in the evolution of comics. Sure, most of us would like to have it in print - but having the story spring to life with a soundtrack and some voice-overs with good pacing isn't such a bad idea. This concept has been around for a while - I'm surprised no one has jumped on it earlier to make it work. I guess licensing and distribution has held it up for so long. I'd prefer original stories and characters with this same feel though - Broken Saints was one of the first to pave the way for this ani-comic type, along with Brendan Cahill's "Outside the Box" - both really interesting reads - and the animation helps move the stories along nicely.

Cool! I was hoping someone else I post to would start using them. Oh, hey, I just noticed, you have Gravatars implemented here! Cool! I was hoping someone else I post to would start using them.

When did that happen? Wait, lemme guess: she traded places with Aunt May from Spider-Man for some bizarre reason. So, wait, Jean’s dead again? When did that happen?

AIIIIIIEEEEEE!!! CRUNCHYPANTS!!! Very reminiscent of the Mighty Marvel Ani-comics from the 60s... Whoa ... Flashback. Voice acting is always quirky… but the overall concept, and look and feel….
