This looks great, but it really annoys me when Javascript/CSS plugins don't explicitly state their browser support.

'Gracefully degrades in older browsers' means different things to different people, and without a quick chart I'm much less likely to invest the time in trying it out.

Site now says: "Tested down to Firefox 3.6 and IE7. Extensive support details to come"

Serious question - why aren't there more efforts to do things like this but using canvas? I'm just starting to work on a new comic web app, was planning on using canvas for the page viewer, am I missing something or is the same exchange from 2k6 still the way to go?

You could probably simulate its effects with either impress.js or jmpress.js, which DO use Canvas.

I recommend you go through the shows on both of these.

From the site: "Unique transition styles created using CSS3"

Couldn't these "Unique transitions" be applied to most existing slideshow plugins, since they are done with CSS3 and not the plugin itself?

Say, if I was using http://slidesjs.com/, I could do `addClass('animate-in')` using the `animationStart()` event.

I say this as I'd like more people to contribute to a solid, widely used and tested slideshow plugin, instead of adding another choice--of course this assumes that there's no need for another choice.
