A while, ago we spoke about the recent motion comics superhero movement. Now, Marvel is making a stronger push with this Astonishing X-Men Motion Comic Music Video. The video was unveiled on Oct. 28 as part of MarvelFest NYC 2009.
The first thing I thought when I saw it was, “Damn, Cyclops is really cool.” When you watch it, let me know if you think Cyclops comes off a little too epic. I’ll always remember Scott Summers as the obedient pre-2000 Cyclops, who followed orders without the slightest protest.
