The Dark Nights: Death Metal #1 NFT Edition presents another opportunity for fans to own a piece of this celebrated franchise and incorporate it into their digital collection.
NFTs in the comic book world
NFTs are becoming increasingly popular within the graphic novel genre. Given the technology’s success in the art and gaming industries, it makes sense that this triumph has also expanded to the world of comic books. Last month, Lightning Works announced the release of the world’s first interactive comic book NFT, named “Siege Worlds Zero.”
The team behind the project believes that “Siege Worlds Zero” will appeal to both comic book enthusiasts and video game players. The comic book was released on the Ethereum blockchain on January 20th and will also be available on the Polygon Network and offers users the chance to engage with legendary figures such as Joan of Arc, Miyamoto Musashi, Flamma, and many others in an interactive Web3 experience.
Additionally, Kelekshen, a blockchain firm specializing in web 3.0 technology, announced the launch of a new NFT-based platform centered on comics and manga back in October 2022. The marketplace allows comic creators, collectors, and fans to participate in buying, selling, owning, staking, and collecting comics in a unique way through NFT technology.
