Cam Newton is a superhero to fans of the Carolina Panthers and like all good superheroes he now has a comic book to prove it. Gatorade are dubbing Newton "The Blender" and he's in a new online comic designed to tell us about how the quarterback prepares for NFL games and show him enjoying the famous sports drink as much as possible.
It's a totally fine and utterly pointless thing that's hard to determine who exactly it's pitched at. The comic isn't fun and goofy enough for kids, nor does it really give adults anything new to enjoy. Instead we're left with stuff like this, Cam and Ron hanging out during practice.
It's kind of neat, even though numerous athletes are getting the Gatorade comic book treatment. Take a look, because the animations are really good, especially the film room scene that has a lot of nice effects of a dark room. The only frustration is that the comic scrolls too quickly if you're holding down an arrow key, and too slow if you try to page through frame-by-frame.
