Motion Comic Version of Watchmen on iTunes
"It's a comic! It's a cartoon! No wait, it's a Motion Comic?!!"As part of the promotion for the highly anticipated film Watchmen, Warner Bros. and DC Comics created a motion comic version of the graphic novel.
In case you are unfamiliar with the term, a "motion comic" is somewhere in-between a comic book and an animated video. Slow camera zooms of slightly animated comic book frames are combined with music, sound effects, and voice-overs to bring traditional comic books alive as video shorts.
The motion comic version of "Watchmen" takes viewers through the critically acclaimed Hugo award-winning graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. It's actually very well done. The animation is actually better or at least just as good as animated TV shows like Sealab 2021, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Liquid Television's Aeon Flux.
You can watch a preview of the new episodes here: Watchmen on iTunes
Watchmen doesn't hit theaters until March 6, 2009. Zack Snyder from 300 and Dawn of the Dead is directing.

Why exactly is DC using one actor for all the characters, couldn't they pull in people off the street to read the dialogue or something?
