Personal friends of mine know that Sam Kieth is my favorite author/artist of all time. Even fellow friends and fans of Now is not the Rhyme should know that I am by now. So when I came across the below video I got really excited because this motion comic idea that Marvel has isn’t new. Because it’s been done before, by my man, Sam Kieth. Which is, (what shouldn’t surprise you), also my favorite movie of all time. It’s called The Maxx. (You can actually watch installments of the video online for free on MTV, where it used to air.)

The video below, alas, is not a Sam Kieth project. But it does resonate within me some warm heartfelt feelings I have towards The Maxx and the early pioneers of motion comics.

Marvel’s first motion comic installment stars the character Spider-woman. Here is a brief synopsis for the really cool trailer you are about to watch.

Jessica Drew is back on Earth. But what’s left of her life? Take a peek at what’s in store for the SPIDER-WOMAN Marvel Motion Comics series right here.
