Spider-Woman ‘Motion Comic’ Trailer Debuts

Spider-Woman is a bit of a complex character.  It also seems people either like her or don’t.  The same can be said about the Motion Comics.  I understand as much as anyone that having a hard physical comic is a tradition that would be hard to give up.  But I do like the idea of motion comics.  I’m not advocating for the medium to switch over (although with the rising cost of paper, it could be a cheaper solution).

I see motion comics as another way to enjoy something we all love.  It’s basically an enhanced version of a comic book.  What I like about them is you can often see the time and effort that is put into the production of them.

For example, check out this trailer for the Spider-Woman Motion Comic.  If I remember correctly, it will be available in printed form eventually.  The only way to see it for now will be in motion form.  It’s by Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev.  The first episode is set to premiere at San Diego Comic-Con.
