Hulu Becomes Gifted, Motiony
Following in the success of iTunes’ Watchmen Motion Comic, it appears Hulu will be releasing at least the first arc of Joss Whedon’s run on the Astonishing X-Men in the same manner. The “Gifted” arc, which haphazardly was chopped up and mixed into the X3 movie, introduces a ‘cure’ for mutation. But at least with this, you may actually care about what happens.
This is probably the best I’ve seen done with the motion comic concept. Everything is pretty fluid, even with the 3d effect being a tad jarring.
Hit the jump for the first chapter.
Fox’s Dollhouse finished its first season about 3 months ago and was released on disc last week. After a rocky start, the series seemed to gain some momentum when Joss Whedon directed a few episodes and Alan Tudyk gave an utterly stellar performance as Alpha. However, I’m pretty sure everyone that had been following the series was still taken by surprise when Fox actually renewed the show for its second season. When I say everyone, that includes the creators of the show. Why else would they make Epitaph One?
