Marvel is proud to unveil your first look at episode 5 of the Astonishing X-Men Motion Comic, on sale now! Based on the acclaimed story by superstars Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and John Cassaday (Captain America), the X-Men are faced with a mysterious new villain and a possible cure for the mutant gene! Now Cyclops, Wolverine and all your favorite mutants must face the greatest threats of their lives and, before it’s all done, experience one of the most jaw-dropping moments in Marvel history!

Marvel has given us the opportunity to unveil this video with them and we’re proud to do so.  Be sure to check out the full motion comics. To be sure, this looks a lot better than the other motion comics I’ve seen, there’s actually a bit of animation to it.  Sure, it has a couple of cheesy moments, but that’s the risk you run adapting a static medium into a moving one verbatim.

If you’re into hardcopies, you can get the first trade of Astonishing X-Men on Amazon.
