Google Chrome Comic by Scott McCloud

In a brilliant PR move, Google hired Scott McCloud to draw a comic book promoting Google Chrome, the company's new web browser project. Blogoscoped has scanned the whole thing. (UPDATE: And now the whole thing is available as both a slideshow & PDF download on Google Books.)

Old media heralding the new--in biblical terms, it's like Moses showing Joshua the Promised Land or John the Baptist preaching Jesus. Sure, in these stories the old one dies, but as Google's initiative illustrates, paper comics aren't going away quite yet. As one commenter notes, "What a great way to communicate complex ideas!"
