		<description>I remember seeing re-runs of the old Thor 60ties &quot;Motion Comics&quot; on TV when I was a kid, and I remember feeling both &quot;that&#039;s weird and it looks cheap&quot; and &quot;that&#039;s a cool way to do it&quot;. Fast forward from age 11 to age 29 - same thing. I somewhat like the concept of a hybrid between an Audiobook, Comic and Animation, it&#039;s something that, while being an old idea, feels kinda fresh to me.

I watched the entire run of the Watchmen MoComs, and it&#039;s an experience very different from reading the book, different enough that I&#039;d let them double-dip me on them. That plus, it&#039;s a great way to &quot;read&quot; a comic on the train, at least while there&#039;s no color Ebook device.

However, I have two things I&#039;d like to see them change:
A) Even though I&#039;m quite used to listen to novels being narrated by one person I&#039;d like them to at least try to use a real cast to do the voices. There are more than enough unemployed actors in LA, can&#039;t be that expensive, and it might add to the experience. Think Big Finish Doctor Who stories.
B) LESS motion would be cooler. Not everything in these panels HAS to move, don&#039;t try to BE animation, be SOMETHING ELSE on purpose, and proudly at that!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve got a season pass to the iTunes version and at first the female voices threw me off but it&#039;s really grown on me. Being a female with a less than highly registered octave, I could believe it. And his attitude and acting as a female was pretty good IMHO. The way he says &quot;...things are tough all over, cupcake...&quot; is probably his best moment.</description>

		<description>I agree, Hermit. I don&#039;t mind if a talented voice actor does several voices on a project, but when this guy attempted to do female voices it sounded like a horrid book on tape experience!</description>

		<description>maybe if it&#039;s under 15$ i&#039;ll buy it. the motion comic idea is not bad. only problem, its the same guy doing all the voices, even females. it&#039;s kinda weird. it&#039;s like an audio book if you like.</description>
