Will this become the new way of doing reviews? I hope not. Not until people realize that your average shmuck doesn’t become interesting simply because a camera is put on him.
That review actually angered me. I wasn’t really convinced he’d actually READ the damn comic.
Well, I agree that just because you can review a comic book (or at least CLAIM to, in the case of this video), that doesn’t mean you have any sort of camera presence. However, I DO see an advantage in using video as a medium for reviews because you can flash pages from the comic at specific points so as to control when the viewer gets to look at it. This could impact the way the viewer hears the words of the reviewer.
But then again, I’m a film major, so I have a biased opinion when it comes to video stuff.
