First look at MBX.
Go to Perspective Studios, click on "Our Work," then on the screenshot of the bearded scarred dude.
Initial reactions:
ZOMG ARJUNA IN A PONYTAIL.
Um, guesses as to who the second featured character, the one with the staff/whip, is? My first thought was "staff = Yudhisthira," but I dunno. I mean, if you were making a preview of your cool sci-fi version of the Mahabharata and you could only feature two characters, would freakin' Yudhisthira be one of your top picks? Probably not. My second guess would be Bhima, but dude, where's the giant smashy-mace? I want to see BHIMA SMASH, not BHIMA ELEGANTLY DANCES AND DELICATELY STABS THINGS.
The cityscape backgrounds look amazing.
Generic background music is generic.
So, internets. When are you going to make with the Grant Morrison sketchbook scans?
Edited to add: A little bit of MBX-related chatter in this coverage of the "Spirit of the Superhero" panel.
And yes, that's basically the only internet coverage of any of Virgin's SDCC presence that I've been able to find so far. Not that I'm complaining about the deluge of Watchmen coverage, though. Because hot damn does Dr. Manhattan have a finely-sculpted blue ass.

And exploding arrows!
I dunno, if this Yudhisthira is prancing around impaling and whipping people, I think I'd begin to like him. -grin-
Far better than the old, "Oh save me Arjuna! )h save me Abhimanyu! Oh save me Satyaki!".
