able to easily download Time Jumper on their Mac, PC, iPod with
video, iPhone and/or widescreen TV with Apple TV. Digitally
produced using some of the latest motion graphic technology, Time
Jumper combines the traditional print look and feel of a comic book
with today's more cutting-edge multimedia elements, including edgy
visuals, effects, music, voice-overs and fast-paced storyboards,
making it perfect to watch on the widescreen of an iPod touch or
iPhone. Time Jumper is an original series with illustrations and
music created specifically for this all-new story. It remains true
to the panel-by-panel comic book narrative, bringing a new
dimension to the more familiar print storytelling. To view the

Twenty-year-old college student Terry Dixon has the most unique
mobile device on Earth -- the Articulus, a time travel device
developed by Terry's genius father, Arthur Dixon. To prevent the
Articulus from falling into the wrong hands, Arthur coded it to
work only with his DNA. After a laboratory experiment claims
Arthur's life, Terry and his older brother Sam become the only
people capable of using it. Recruited into the secret crime
fighting organization H.U.N.T. (Heroes United, Noble and True)
after the mysterious disappearance of golden boy Sam, Terry becomes
a reluctant hero living in his brother's shadow. As he struggles to
fill his new role, unnatural shifts in the course of history send
Terry hurtling through time to capture Charity Vyle, the diabolical
leader of criminal cartel C.U.L.T. (Council of Unstoppable, Lethal
Terrorists). But something more than just Terry's molecules are
being reconfigured as he leaps across time, and it threatens to
corrupt everything he understands about who he is, and whether the
world is actually worth saving after all. Two Special Guest Voice
Talents: Fans can look forward to two special voice talent cameos
as part of this new, original digital motion comic series. One is
Stan Lee himself, playing the voice of Lee Excelsior, CEO of
H.U.N.T. Headquarters, and the other is actress Natasha Henstridge
(Species, Eli Stone, The Whole Nine Yards) who plays the voice of
Charity Vyle, the evil, smart and seductive female villain.
