    Press Release

    If the pages of Marvel Comics could move, what would they look like? Wonder no more! Marvel Comics announced the launch of its first ever original motion comic, Spider-Woman. The legendary, Eisner-award winning Brian Michael Bendis wrote the story of Spider-Woman, with art by Eisner Award winning artist Alex Maleev (Daredevil and Stephen King’s N. Mobisodes).  The first episode of Spider-Woman will be available on iTunes beginning August 19, 2009, with additional episodes released every two weeks.


    Marvel provided a sneak peek of the first episode of this exciting new comic to a throng of fans at the “Marvel Digital Comics…and Beyond!” panel at San Diego Comic Con.

    There will be five episodes of Spider-Woman, each running 10-12 minutes. The first episode will be available exclusively on iTunes for 99 cents for the first two weeks. After the first two weeks all episodes will cost $1.99.  This is the first time an original Marvel motion comic will be made available for fans to download and own.

    Fans will be able to purchase the first episode on iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewTVSeason?id=325963894&s=143441 on August 19, 2009. For more information on motion comics please visit Marvel.com at www.marvel.com/motion_comics

      How many pages is an episode? The $1.99 is half what a paper comic costs. On which side does the financial advantage lie for the reader?

      I just haven’t found the desire in the motion comics. I don’t want to see the static pictures moving. If I want motion in my comics I want actual motion not some cheap looking static art being moved across a camera.

      I plan to buy the first online issue as well as the regular one just to see what the fuss is about….

      Maleev is what makes this interesting to me. Might be worth checking out just for the art.
