Animated Graphic Novel:
The Metabarons

The Metabarons is one of my favorite graphic novel series.  Set in the distant future, this science fantasy story follows the lives of the last members of a powerful warrior clan.

I selected a scene and animated the panels to provide an interesting addition to the story.
