Post-nuclear punk odyssey Godkiller is making the jump from indie comic book to “illustrated film” with engaging animation that merges sequential art, 3-D CGI and motion graphics. Which is different from a motion comic because … wait, how is it different again? “It’s a purely aesthetic difference,” explained Matt Pizzolo, the Godkiller writer and filmmaker who [...]...
