Spider-Woman a hit on iTunes

For fans of Critical Hit, the Major Spoilers Dungeons and Dragons podcast, you’ll be happy to know it went live on iTunes this week, and you can now subscribe to the show, here.  Why didn’t it show up on the front page of the iTunes Podcast Directory?  It might be because there weren’t that many people that subscribed on the first day, and I blame Spider-Woman for that.

The Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev series hit iTunes in a big way, taking the number one spot on the Top Television-Animation sales chart.

“To wake up this morning and see Spider-Woman ranked so high on the iTunes charts is crazy insane to me,” gushed Brian Michael Bendis. “Thanks to all the readers, and especially the motion comics first timers, who tried us out and than hit the subscribe button. To quote the Stan: you ain’t seen nothing yet!”

That’s great news for Spider-Woman fans, but I’m sure more than a few RPG’ers are shedding a tear right now.

Stan Lee nabs Natasha Henstridge for Time Jumper

The motion comic, animated comic book features, and general digital comic book distribution is getting the Stan Lee treatment on Thursday, when Lee and Disney Entertainment unveil Time Jumper on the crowd at the San Diego Comic Con.

“Time Jumper” follows Terry Dixon, a college student in possession of his late father’s time-travel invention, the Articulus. After his brother goes missing, Dixon is recruited by H.U.N.T. (Heroes United, Noble and True), a secret crime-fighting unit that sends him through time to thwart Charity Vile, leader of the criminal cartel, C.U.L.T. (Council of Unstoppable, Lethal Terrorists).

To sweeten the deal, Stan “The Man” has landed Natasha Henstridge to voice the lead female character in the series.

I’m all for mobile media fun and entertainment.  If the publishers and companies involved in this kind of content can get the price point just right, it might do more for comics than the movies are doing now.
