Contagious Obsession

Stephen King has always been known (among other things) for his willingness to try new formats, new ways to tell stories or to make stories available. His latest experiment is N., a short story that will appear in Just After Sunset (King’s new short-story collection he talks about here), and that Marvel has turned into a twenty-five mini-episode series you can watch here. Each episode has been coming out daily during August, but now the whole thing is finished. Adapted by Marc Guggenheim and drawn by Alex Maleev, N. is a strange mixture of traditional illustration, flash animation, and multicast voiceovers. You can check out the trailer here, and you can watch a short making of if you are interested. Enjoy!
