Marvel Knights Season 2 Trailer
Welcome to the wonderful world of motion comics. Although this form of storytelling has been around for quite some time, it's only now getting the press it so knowingly deserves. With Marvel's motion comics department (Marvel Knights) announcing a new season of motion comics with some of the most engaging comic book stories printed to date, don't you think it's time you take the plunge and give motion comics another chance?
In case you're new to the game, motion comics are a way for our favorite issues to truly come to life. These aren't the same Saturday morning cartoons we grew up with, though. Often times, the storylines got basterdized and dumbed down for a younger audience, taking away from the grit and general badass-ness that comic books have become so widely known for. No, these stories are literally ripped from the pages and transported onto the screen, with shot-by-shot recreations of individual panels and dialogue straight from the printed speech bubbles.
This week, I've also included one of my personal favorite motion comics for your viewing pleasure (and, quite frankly, one of my all time favorite comics in general). Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men brought about numerous significant changes to today's X-Teams, most notably by bringing back from the dead (spoiler alert) long time X-Man Peter Rasputin, aka Colossus. Check out episode one of Astonishing X-Men: Gifted below. After you're done creaming yourself over the Marvel Knights Season 2 trailer, that is.
