Whatever Happened to MARVELSCOPE?

Back in 2001, there was a different way to read comics.

Loved this and considering I didn't start reading comics full time until a couple years ago, yeah I never knew about it. Thanks for posting!

I remember buying that and the others and hating the marvelscope format! Thank god it didn't make it. Thanks for the video Tony, keep up the beard. Also trading views would be nice again.

Agreed! I bought Days Missing and LOVED it based on the trading views.

@deskp: Actually, I shoot, edit and post these videos on my own. And I shoot them in my garage. I'll make sure there is content for you guys each week. I just have to keep coming up with content.

The X-Men issue with Leniel Yu art was very pretty looking, but yeah, pretty dumb overall.

I love the subscriber videos, Tony. Keep it up!

I was wondering though, I know that having actual video reviews as subscriber videos is pretty impractical, but what would be the chances of bringing back Trading Views for us subscribers?

@deskp: hahahahahaha. Sorry. That's sort of a long story. Maybe not really. I actually filmed a video that sort of used that way back in...May. I never used the video. It was going to be for a regular feature/article but just never happened. The footage is also a little shaky. Maybe I'll use it for an upcoming subscriber video. But it's pre-beard and might throw people off. I always wondered if people noticed it back there.

Well that was stupid, I guess? Artists get more space to draw but, a panel per page seems like it would drag on.

I've read PVP in that format but then you had two 4 panel strips per page.

If this did take off, they would totally have to remake the dimensions of the long box. :)

That's like an artists wet dream. I bet the script more often than not just said "draw something and fill negative space with sound effects."

The larger images and being able to read the larger text is better but again--the price. If someone had the foresight ( pun intended ), Marvelscope could have been utilized better.
