Astonishing X-Men: Dangerous

Stop-motion animation comics are an acquired taste, especially if you are a fan of the top quality fully animated DVDs and Blu-rays that Marvel and DC put out. The jerky motion of the characters and the not always effective synchronization between the voices and the characters’ mouths can get annoying if the story isn’t strong enough to capture you from the start. And that’s what is so cool about Astonishing X-Men: Dangerous. With a script by Joss Whedon and visuals by John Cassaday, all the nitpicking complaints you may have about motion comics won’t matter a bit. You’ll be too engrossed trying to figure out who is killing the X-Man and what the team will do to stop it from happening again.
