October 28th, 2009 - It's not quite animation, but it's more than a comic book. It's ... Motion Comics! DC did it with Watchmen, Marvel recently did it with Spider-Woman, and now you can take the comic book reading experience to the next level with Astonishing X-Men.
Will Cyclops' optic blast have a cool "SSHHRRAAAKK" sound effect? Will Emma Frost come off English and sexy, or butch and raspy like Dr. Girlfriend from The Venture Brothers? Will the motion comic itself be ... astonishing?
Celebrate with Marvel and enjoy costume contests (just in time for Halloweeeeen!), giveaways, and of course, the premiere of the Astonishing X-Men Motion Comic, today in Union Square, NYC, beginning at 4pm. At 7pm, "ASTONISHING X-MEN will be projected three stories high so that fans can experience the adventure like never before!"
Neal Adams, Chris Claremont, Dan Slott and other creators will be on hand to sign your fanboy man-boobs.
