Marvel Announces New Spider-Man, Iron Man, And Black Panther Video Comics

If you're familiar with Marvel's infinite comics, exclusively digital affairs with motion between the panels, you'll notice some similarities between those and their new format, video comics.

Marvel announced the new format today, a motion style comic that includes audio, video editing, dialogue, and a wider array of motion effects. Each one is 3 minutes long, and the first series features Iron Man and Spider-Man in Training Day, where Spidey gets an impromptu superhero lesson from Tony Stark. You can read the description below.

Super powers don't come with a training manual! After Spider-Man (Cole Howard) stops some crooks from robbing a Stark Enterprises facility, Iron Man decides to pay him back with a little help from FRIDAY (Tabitha St Germain) and some on-the-job training. Iron Man's plan goes awry when villain, Batroc the Leaper (Marc Oliver), reveals some major upgrades that push him to the A-List. Both Spider-Man and Iron Man (Brian Drummond) are going to have to learn some new tricks if they're going to be able to best Batroc 2.0.

Training Day Parts 1-3 were executive produced by Dan Buckley, Cort Lane, John Cerilli, Alan Fine, and Joe Quesada, with Stan Lee as a co-executive producer. Nick Lowe is listed as a producer, with Stephen Wacker as a consulting producer and Kalia Cheng Ramirez serving as line producer.

The second episode stars Black Panther and is the best example of how all these factors can come together. It features some great voice acting and action and features the Panther attempting to stop the Ghost from infiltrating Wakanda. You can read the description below.

Black Panther (Omari Newton) gets a visit from envoy Everett K. Ross (Brian Drummond) to discuss security for a possible international summit in Wakanda. The visit is interrupted when Super Villain Ghost (Marc Oliver) appears to steal Wakandan treasure. Black Panther and his loyal Dora Milaje (Evans Johnson) have to both stop Ghost and show Ross why Wakanda has never been conquered or invaded.

"The Visitor" executive producers include Dan Buckley, Cort Lane, John Cerilli, Alan Fine, and Joe Quesada; co-executive producer Stan Lee; producer Nick Lowe; consulting producer Stephen Wacker; and line producer Kalia Cheng Ramirez.
