No doubt timed to coincide with the Watchmen trailer (those marketing guys are sneaky!), iTunes is now offering a Watchmen “Motion Comic.” If you have the software, you can find it by doing a search for “Watchmen.”
It’s sort of like the Invincible one that Kevin linked to earlier this week, only without the jerky MTV-ish editing. I didn’t watch the entire 25 minutes, but it looks like it contains all of the first issue of Watchmen.
(Thanks, Richard!)

What, no link?

I’m downright amazed they call it comics and not some variation of “Graphic novel/graphic art.”

I tried to use the Apple iTunes link maker thing, but it couldn’t find it. I just got a bunch of results for songs and albums that had Watchmen in the title. (There are a lot).
Warner Bros. sent out a press release about this after I posted it, and they didn’t have a direct link either … so I can’t even copy theirs.
It comes up fine when you search for it in iTunes, though.

This available for anyone who doesn’t care for the latest iStuff?

I love that one issue of WATCHMEN unpackages into nearly 30 mintues of run time. It’s still the book I use to convert habitual readers over to comics, just for the density of storytelling.
