Might be the first - I don't know. But as a lover of graphic novels, to me, this seems to be a great thing.

I wish all the best, good sales and good feedback to the creator. the new media-consuming-devices give us all the ability, to challenge traditional ways of delivering the message. so it really is nice to see new ways of doing things.

when the printing press first arrived, the letters were cut, to look like handwritten letters, just the way, books used to look all the centuries before. with time, the medium book changed, as more people realized, that the medium had changed and delivered new possibilities.

so let's celebrate the people pushing the frontier, trying new things and showing us coherent ways of using the new mediums.

So is the whole idea that each strip would be animated clips, and storyline would move in smaller clips?

The artwork definitely has a unique aesthetic to it. The level of detail is amazing.

Products like these, Numberlys, and other Mononbot studio products is showing us how media is going to evolve as the mode of consumption evolves. In my opinion this how you kill hollywood, by providing any talented team of individuals the ability to publish great products and reach millions.
