Yes. That special was ComiXology's motion comics. They also have Madefire doing them and now this.

This looks pretty cool. Anyone have any experience with these types of comics? Do you feel it in enhances the experience? I think it's a cool idea but not sure it's something I would purchase.

I think its cool once in a while. If its free, like the XO issues are, then its definitely worth it for the experience.

i guess first one has to have a favorable option of digital books before one tries this. (And although i think digital is the wave of the future, we'll always have print comic books). I think it's neat and cool. Don't know if id buy it or not. purists won't like it, but purists won't like digital either.

I tried this app and I really think those animations are nice...
I thought it could be gimmicky, but ain't so!

Waiting for new releases of X-O :high-five: :thumb:
