Well, we knew eventually they’d start selling comics to the web…and I can’t say I like the look of these too much.

Marvel's not really reinventing the wheel with their new line of "motion comics", following in the footsteps of the 60's Marvel cartoons (which used similar technology) and the more recent DC motion comics for Watchmen.

But let's be honest, these just look....bizarre.  Jerky motion, unnatural animation.  It kinda freaks me out.  I will give Marvel the extra point for using different voice actors, unlike DC, who uses one voice actor as narrator and entire cast.

Here's a suggestion:  Marvel, you want to get comics on the web legally?  You want people reading your comics on the iPhone and iPod touch? Why don't you team up with uClick on their GoComics player?  Just a suggestion.
