Invincible TV Show
Seems like a comic news kind of day. Then again I added several comic blogs to my rss reader today. So looks like I’ll be mentioning quite a bit more about one of my favorite mediums since childhood. So all of you out there, go and read some damn comic books.
I’m writing about something something I just just read over at the New York Times that really perked my interest. Invincible by Robert Kirkman is getting the small screen treatment. It’s definitely a fun comic and happens to be written by one of my favorite writers for the past year and half or so. It’s really the technology that has me stoked.
But it’s not quite animation in the traditional sense. “I like to think of it as cinematic comics — digital cinematic comics,” said David Gale, executive vice president of MTV New Media, which is producing the episodes in partnership with Gain Enterprises.
I’ll be honest here I didn’t see the animation that was recently done of Astonishing X-Men #1, but it definitely sounds cool. I may have to pop over to Marvel.com and check it out so I know what’s what with this style of animation. The fact that they’re going to have up to issue #36 by september makes it awesome. Perhaps when they catch up to #50 they will release new "episodes" as the issues are released monthly. How cool would that be?

I happened to be browsing through the New York Times and came upon this article. I have followed the Invincible series since day one and have been a loyal fan. It seems like this new endeavor will be a great way to show the world the Invincible comic. I believe there is only positive outcomes out of this project.
Hmmm, where do I start? Audio? Visuals? Plot? Although we dont know much about the tv plot, the audio and overall animation portion of Invincible is above what I expected to see. This very well may defy the odds and be an instant hit with the newer generation of comic book junkies (including myself).
I’m gonna agree with Kevin on this one. the animation is great. reminds me of the exact art from the comic books. the audio portion is the bomb. it wakes me up n gets me watching everything.
everything about this is tight. its old school but at the same time bringing in new age technology. the combo works out well and i expect big things outs this kindsa stuff.
ive never seen an idea like this before but id have to say that for the first time seeing somethin like this, it definitely has made me interested in the topic. im curious to see the rest of the episodes.
wow. thats wut an animated comic should be like. this will draw plenty of attention not only cuz its invincible but cuz its done super well.
