Time Jumper: A Digital Motion Comic from Stan Lee
Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee's POW Entertainment has partnered with Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on Time Jumper, an original digital motion comic series available via iTunes from later this week. The comic's web site - huntheadquarters.com - is already live.
Digitally produced using some of the latest motion graphic technology, Time Jumper combines the traditional print look and feel of a comic book with multimedia elements including edgy visuals, effects, music, voice-overs and fast-paced storyboards, all with the intent of making it perfect to watch on the widescreen of an iPod touch or iPhone.
In the story, 20-year-old college student Terry Dixon has the most unique mobile device on Earth -- the Articulus, a time travel device developed by Terry's genius father, Arthur Dixon. To prevent the Articulus from falling into the wrong hands, Arthur coded it to work only with his DNA. After a laboratory experiment claims Arthur's life, Terry and his older brother Sam become the only people capable of using it. Recruited into the secret crime fighting organization H.U.N.T. (Heroes United, Noble and True) after the mysterious disappearance of golden boy Sam, Terry becomes a reluctant hero living in his brother's shadow. As he struggles to fill his new role, unnatural shifts in the course of history send Terry hurtling through time to capture Charity Vyle, the diabolical leader of criminal cartel C.U.L.T. (Council of Unstoppable, Lethal Terrorists). But something more than just Terry's molecules are being reconfigured as he leaps across time, and it threatens to corrupt everything he understands about who he is, and whether the world is actually worth saving after all.
Voice talents include Stan Lee himself, playing the voice of Lee Excelsior, CEO of H.U.N.T. Headquarters, and actress Natasha Henstridge (Species, Eli Stone) who plays the voice of Charity Vyle, the evil, smart and seductive female villain.
Time Jumper will be available exclusively from Apple's iTunes Store from Friday 24th July. Each 5-8 minute digital episode will retail for 99 cents; other formats to be utilized over the next two years for the series include online, mobile, DVD and publishing.
