In 2005, Anthem Pictures used Jaaska's Terminator artwork to create "" a unique "Digital Comic DVD". The product uses art from the original comic books combined with actors reading the dialog, to create a flowing story that does not have actual motion in the traditional sense of animation, but is not static, in that the screen moves across the panels, and focuses on elements considered important by the director. The end result is a comic that can be watched on a video screen as opposed to being read.
