Gimmicky

This announcement by Oni and 60Frames of linking some new comics to some web videos just scream "gimmick" to me.  Or am I supposed to believe that the artists involved got together and said "This story just demands to be told in both comic and video form!!!"

Also, Jennifer de Guzman thinks people writing about comics should write better and broader.  I can see that.  Although you’re never going to get people who are hardcore into superhero comic books and its culture to write (or read) about anything else.  Luckily there’s lots more to comics these days though…
