For a cinestory comic? Fuck that!

Cinestory is just fucking screen grabs!?
Holy shit, that's cheesy.
>>78705192
Marvel's been doing that with their animated tie-in comics for years now.
>>78705192
>>78705407
Who even buys these?
>>78705192
>>78705407
Wait, so they're literally just running old Gargoyles episodes through VLC, clicking "grab screenshot" and then photoshopping speech bubbles onto it? For $29.99? What the actual fuck?
>It's a comic adaptation of the animated series. Time to make a new generation aware, because reasons.
Please don't play with my heart.
But also, why couldn't they have just re-released the SLG comics like they did with the Darkwing Duck collection?
>>78705192
>Cinestory is just fucking screen grabs!?
>Holy shit, that's cheesy.
Cine-Manga is where it's at.
That's hot.
>>78706748
storytime?
>>78706748
Oh, Tokyopop, you soulless bastards...
>>78704846
Bet they'll skip the gun episode
Why would I waste my time with a piece of shit screen grab book when I've got the three best pieces of Gargoyles media sitting on my shelf?
>>78705463
Japan used to make these back in the day. I remember Sailormoon making one for every 4-6 episodes of the series.
>>78706890
I can't remember if I have it burned somewhere in my apartment or in a box back at my parents' house.
>>78706946
Yeah. Stu Levy was such a piece of shit.
>>78707086
i bought 'em too. shame nothing came of it.. but we knew that would happen
>>78707151
Though. For some reason, someone scanned this garbage. And for some reason or brief lapse in judgement, I downloaded it.
>>78707840
Shit. They couldn't even adjust brightness correctly on the damn screencaps.
>>78707876
This shit doesn't even read right. Has anyone who made this even read a fucking comic book or manga?
>>78707876
George Lucas broke into your house at night and washed out those pages because that was his original vision.
>>78707970
Naw. He fucked up the movies.
It was these Tokyopop fuckwits that made this garbage.
>>78707970
>>78708020
Though he would approve adding horrible effects to the orignials
>>78708113
and then there's this shit on top of shit
>>78708220
>?!!
The sitcom ones they did are even worse
>>78708373
This shit was actually published and sold to kids. Ugh.
>>78708435
This shit is an eyesore.
This looks worse than a fucking Geocities page made by a 12 year old
if nothing else i'm reconsidering the harsh words I say about Byrne's star trek "comics"
>>78708485
> what?
indeed
Animation doesn't matter.
I'd bet even the non-cgi ones look like shit.
This is the most painful storytime of all.
>>78707086
What the fuck is wrong with your toe?
Of course they didn't care how bad it looked. Just call it 'manga' and kids will buy it, right? Fuck's sake. These assholes sold 'manga ringtones' off their shitty Tokyopop social media MySpace wannabe website.
>>78708633
Not even worth any full storytiming.
Just some random pages from a handful of books.
More would be too painful.
>>78708779
Though, for a simple kids book, with only a couple giant panels per page, it kinda works.
>>78708821
Plus it's interactive and tells kids to jump along with your old pal Grover.
>>78705407
It's not Marvel specifically. It's a Disney thing.
They've done the same for Gravity Falls recently, and I recall the same for the High School Musical movies.
>>78707916
It's kind of funny to think of this as some sort of post-modernist take on the comic-book medium, and Jango Fett is blasting at Obi Wan from behind a portal.
>>78708220
Jabba? No, that's just how shit he looked back in 1997.
They have never updated the Jabba model since its original inclusion into the Special Edition.
>>78708320
At least with more story book formats it works better, even if they add some word bubbles in illustrations.
Of course this non-Tokyopop one has original illustrations from an actual comic artist.
>>78708891
Oh yeah. I just meant it's the shit of the special edition on top of having it in his 'Cine-manga' format.
>>78708961
>>78709036
Look like you didn't come up with that idea... solo.
Aha. Also found this one.
>>78709176
Shows that even using animated screencaps, you can easily make a comic page of utter incomprehensible shit.
>>78709141
oh shit. they used the same fucking screencap of Qui Gone Drinking Gin twice on the same fucking page.
>>78709176
That tiger knows exactly want Jasmine is about to do to him.
>>78709090
That works.
Then again, the story is that George Lucas is so petty about the Special Editions of the Star Wars films that he offered the 1997 Special Edition to the Library of Congress for archival when they asked for the original theatrical edition.
So it's no real surprise, I suppose.
Who takes scenes from Aladdin and comes up with this eyesore?
I guess the talented manga creators at Tokyopop.
They flat out say they are cashing in on the Disney Princess line on the back cover blurb.
Shameless shallow fuckers.
Way to take the comic timing of Robin Williams and Disney animators and flush it down the toilet.
>>78709492
Just think that Tokyopop must've paid a king's ransom in licensing and/or revenue-sharing to Disney to just crap out a series of slideshow stills.
Each one probably is done mostly by a single person over strict short deadlines to minimize cost.
>>78709936
Honestly it seems like a pretty easy gig. You can do it from home while browsing 4chan if you know how to use photoshop and windows media player. I'd do it for minimum wage.
>>78709936
Given that they credit one person with "Graphic Designer and Letterer" and even "Cover Design" on this one book... that seems to be pretty much exactly what they did. Plus two editors dedicated to this one book and the rest seems o be general line and company editors.
>>78704846
I can get why they're doing it. The Frozen Cinestory actually sold decently, so it they wanted new kids to discover the franchise, it could work.
>>78708645
Hammer toe.
>>78707813
We got the third season we deserved anon, that's more than enough.
>>78710466
I think the first word of "Frozen Cinestory" was probably the determinate factor in its commercial success rather than the latter one.
These are done with so little care or effort on behalf of the publisher that it is hard to see how one can act as an efficient gateway to the rest of the franchise for new fans.
>>78704846
Why is Demona tugging at her wing like a cape?
>>78708539
the dude that played the bro went to my hs and was banging my friend's older sister
he was really a bro
>>78710778
or like, five episodes of it.
