Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s Eisner award-winning take on Marvel’s Mightiest Mutants comes to life with the help of comics legend Neal Adams in the ASTONISHING X-MEN motion comic, adapting the acclaimed “Gifted” storyline! Marvel Motion comics: watch and hear your favorite comics, authors and artists come alive. You've never seen Marvel move like this.
I just bought Volume 1 of the Astonishing X-Men seies and I was flipping through the first chapter and what you see in this video is what you get in the book. I was very impressed. It's an excellent translation from one medium to the next. And it doesn't hurt that it's really cool stuff, too.
As far as motion comics go, I've never seen one quite like this. The facial morphing and movie appendages was distracting at first, but all in all I think they did a very good job with it. Not to mention that this comic mini-series is absolutely breath-taking anyway. When I first saw this available here, my jaw dropped. I had no idea they were making an 'Astonishing' motion comic. Excellent choice!Although, I am really wondering what is up with the availability. I watched the first episode maybe a week ago, and then yesterday I watched episode 4 (where were 2 and 3?) and now even episode 4 is gone. I can only assume that this means that their contractual obligations stipulate very limited availability windows. So does that mean that there is somewhere else we can watch these online? Or are we going to have to wait and purchase them on DVD/BD? Because I don't think I'd be willing to spend any substantial amount of money on a Motion Comic. Especially since I already own most of the actual comic mini-series in print form.
I haven't seen artwork of this quality in years. Plus, it is slightly in motion! I am addicted off the first episode. I can't wait to see further installments. I think this could revamp the American standard of lazy, unattractive animations. This is pure art! How can i see more?
Agreed. As easy going as the censors are any more, the only MA thing I can forsee might be language, and perhaps some situational horror and voilence.

What is the deal with offering the First & Fourth Episodes with two Episodes missing out the middle between them?Is this an oversight or is it some kind of Communist plot?
