NY Times.com – Marvel Entertainment – home to characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, and the Hulk – has announced plans to release a series of “motion comics” via iTunes. Introduced at New York Comic Con, the new format would have the iPod- and iPhone-bound digital books taking on characteristics of both print and animation with audio and motion enhancing the typical panel-based format of print.

Hasn’t animation of comic books been done? This isn’t traditional animation. The Motion Comic format would feature traditional panel-based structures that are set in motion. Instead of thought bubbles and dialog boxes, the dialog would be spoken. Best of all? The original artist’s drawings would be used to compose the digital books, as opposed to facsimile drawn by an animator.

Police could not describe the nature of the outstanding warrants last night, but said they were based in Massachusetts.
