Has anyone here purchased the new Micronauts DIGITAL COMIC DVD?
From what I can gather, it is a modernized version of those book and records we had as kids.
It is 75 minutes long and covers Issues 1-5 of the current Devil's Due series.
People who put in orders early will receive a full set of Micronaut trading cards.

saving grace for a dying art form?, March 4, 2006
Reviewer: John Pines "elargo2000" (Orlando, FL USA) -
In almost all Western countries, the comic book is dying out. What is produce by Marvel and DC anymore are really not much more than ads for their movies. Anyone who is involved in comics would probably tell you the same. Comic books are showing that they can't compete with television and video games and paper is always getting more expensive. This DVD could be the last bastion of this art form. To say that this is like an animated movie is not entirely accurate. Micronauts Revolutions is like an audio book and because it is visual it could be called a 'video book'. The product explains itself as a digital comic.
The superb artwork by Eric Hanson and EJ Su are put under a moving camera that includes closeups of their beautiful work with voice acting, music, and some narration. This is so well done that I wanted to see another right after it ended and I hope they produce another. It is priced under what most new movies on a DVD cost. All the giant comic companies, Marvel, DC, Shonen, and Rebellion need to be producing these digital comics. This well could be the answer to what may just degenerate into daily strips in a newspaper and ad sheets for movies and TV shows.

Grew up playing with the Micronaut toys. Now finally getting its due with an animated-style adventure DVD. If you have kids, a great reading tool since the text remains on the screen as the dialog/narration are spoken. The artwork, taken directly from the comics, looks pretty impressive on the tv screen. A unique and engrossing entertainment product that shouldn't disappoint.
