I’ve always had a warm spot in my heart for comic books and I try to stay alert for cool things related to them. A good friend recently passed along a link to a music video that really blew me away. While you might not like the music, the video is presented like a comic book with action from panel to panel. Furthermore, since the video is, well, a video, certain “special effects” were possible. For example, there are several places where the heroes and villians break through one panel and into the next. Definitely two thumbs up, especially if you are interested comic books.

If you’re confused, here are some more details. This is a rap video animated in comic book format. I’m told it is a collaboration between MF Doom and a hip-hop producer named Madlib. The name of the album is Madvillain. Don’t miss the video.
