The ADDIE model used for prepared instructional design of Physics Comic. The data of expert’s validations, students’s response and motivations were collected  by using questionnaire of experts’ validation, student’ responses and students’ motivation.The result of this study is the product of momentum and impulses comic.The result of material validation is 𝑋̅=4.25 in the good category and instructional media validation is 𝑋̅=4.50 in  very good category. The assessment of students in the form of response questionnaire is 𝑋̅=4.38 in very good category.
