Apparently devised for those who want to brush up on their Watchmen familiarity but are too lazy to turn pages, iTunes has the classic comic series in a format called “Motion Comics” for 1.99 an issue or 19.99 for a season pass.
Assuming this is similar to the trailers that Marvel develops for their major events, the format seems to consist of a camera scanning the panels to simulate animation or movement and bad voice actors reading the speech bubbles. Unless the product is something of much higher quality than that, I’d much rather buy the graphic novel.
Actually, I’d rather have the graphic novel, anyway, since I already have my precious precious Absolute Edition.
Anyway, I’m sure it will appeal to some folks and who am I to gripe as long as it gets the word out about a good story?
