I have to say that I'm very impressed with the trailer as it's damn near a motion comic (and better looking than 98% of all motion comics), but it's just a trailer. Check it out after the jump along with a link to our review.

From Crystal Productions:

With Silence & Co., the new black and white original graphic novel, arriving on store shelves later this month, Crystal Productions has released the full length animatic trailer. Check it out now on youtube (or after the jump).

Crystal Productions has also released the final free preview of the book. Presented as an omnibus 84 page compilation of the three sections released so far, genre fans can now try out the full first half of the book for free, online, with no downloads or special software required. You can find the link on the book’s website at http://www.silenceandco.com/retail/preview/, or a direct, embeddable version is available at issuu or here.

The book has been receiving rave reviews prior to release, currently sitting at a fantastic 9.5 on ComicBookRoundup.com. Greg Hatcher at CBR calls it “enormously compelling… It’s very tough and cool, in much the same action-movie, hard-R tradition as other crime comics like 2 Guns and The Losers”, while Mingqua Nguyen over at WCBR described the book as “Pulp at its finest. A terrific sample of the genre, proving that you can have sex, drugs, and violence in a story and still keep it classy.” And Dustin Cabeal over at Comic Bastards awarded the book a perfect 5/5, writing "a hitman concept that has one of the coolest elements you’ll ever read". For these and other reviews, please visit the site.

The story of a young hitman taking on the world’s most powerful criminal bank, the book is a 176 page, black and white, original graphic novel. Art is by Ron Randall (Alien, Star Wars, Trekker), letters by Eisner winner John Workman (Thor, Marvel 1985), cover by Eisner winner Steve Lieber (Whiteout, Shooters, Alabaster), and written by Gur Benshemesh (Morgan St. Watch Co.).
