I Hunt With The Predators And Other Dreams

If you have not visited the DREAMS section of frankcubed lately, you have been missing out on some strange and celebrity filled antics. My recent trips to slumber land have resulted in me playing a game of 5 on 5 football and being congratulated by Serenity's Gina Torres, taking a walk in the park with Rosario Dawson and getting a present from the friendly Predators after a hunt well done.

Motion Comics = Wave Of The Future?

Are "Motion Comics" the future of the comic book medium?

...I hope not. Sure they might be nice to look at and sometimes fun to watch but they are nothing compared to the enjoyment of  a real comic book.

The fun of reading a comic book comes from the interactivity between the reader and the page, the dictation of pace, the voice of the characters, the emotion of the moment. All these things are supplied by the audience and all these things are taken away within a motion comic.

Motion comics are not a  showcase of the greatness of comic books, instead they do a disservice by trying to transform it into something that it was not designed to be. It tells the viewer how to watch, what to look at, how a character sounds, the emotion to feel, the music to hear. This is not the way that comic books are meant to be appreciated.

If motion comics are the future you can have it. I'll be in the comic book store going through the bargin bins. Comic books are meant to be read not watched.
