I remember when Ruwan was on the site talking about Extremis. He seemed like a really nice guy with a lot of good ideas. Glad to see he can still apply those even though the motion comics didnt take off.

Really thorough interview Ron. Thank you for doing it. I reviewed Blood Brothers on another site and enjoyed it a great deal. Great musical score. Motion-esk Comics aren’t for everyone, but they are for me. I also think they are fairly priced (the price of a comic…well not a Marvel comic…those are mostly still $3.99).

Thanks guys for the support. Much appreciated. I think for me this type of animation and these stories are step-by-step…meaning we aren’t expecting to win everyone over, but after Extremis we proved that we can get people hyped for content ripped directly from the pages of great comic book arcs. And while there’s always room for imporvement I am really happy in where the crative team has gotten this project and the adventures that is ahead.
And as always Ron was awesome at guiding the podcast and keeping me off the highway of inanity or insanity.
My hope is to come back with a bigger and beeter project each year!
@AlanRob still alive and kickin’! wished i could have gone to WonderCon to show episode 2 off. it’s a doozy And the guy who played Balder is incredible. Breakout performance. 🙂
AM I the only one that finds the “iron man :extremis” pseudo animation cheap and a real disapointment compared to actual animation?
I found these on netflix before i knew about them, and thought “oh great! some new marvel cartoons”. Instead I found …meh.
frankly I’d rather have a static book than that, at least I can read at my pace without waiting for the overdrawn pauses and flash animation to move the plot along.
