The web seems to be downright lousy with “animated” versions of comics lately. Everything from the graphically excellent, voice talent minimalist Watchmen to the new Stephen King comic N. While I think the trend is interesting as a whole, I’d hate to see it displace traditional still comics. Part of me likes that there is a certain amount of interpretation that still needs to be done within the comic medium, but I may be the minority in this.

The Watchmen comic is pretty excellent for instance, the paper cut-out method of animation fits the noir vibe really well, but the voice acting just kills it for me. The guy does a good job, but Sally Jupiter he aint. Anyone else have any thoughts on the new-media trend to animate comics for the web?
