Emergents
The launch of the highly anticipated NFT Trading Card Game “Emergents” will be preceded by a comic book series that introduces characters from the game. After the first comic book was released a few weeks ago, the second volume of the Emergents comic book series has been released.
Both the storyline and drawings in the series are world-class and created by a team of artists and writers that have built a great reputation creating comics for Marvel. They previously have created both art and stories for Marvel comic books like X-Men, Iron Man, The Hulk, Spiderman, Crimson Dynamo, Spider Woman, Darkstar, Ultraverse, and much more.
Three comic book series
There will be three comic book series launched that will form the Emergents Universe comic book line: “The Nine”, ” Emergents Presents” and a stand-alone version that will follow the character “ZoeMG”.
The comics will be free-to-read on the InterPopComics.com platform, but in the first week, after they are released, they can only be read if you buy the NFT version, which is priced under $10 USD. Buying the NFT version of the comic will allow you to read the comic right away.
Certain decisions in the future storyline or artwork of the comics will be in the hands of the fans through a governance system. Owning an NFT of the comic will allow you to participate in a vote specific to that issue of the comic.
Wednesday, August 25th will mark the date of the beginning of the release of the first free-to-read content. One of the three stories each week. There will also be offerings of Limited Edition variant cover versions of the comic for sale with covers tied to the story that is being featured that week.
Currently, two volumes of the series are launched. The first volume of The Nine #0 can be collected as an NFT for free. It tells the story of how a character called “Crime Blotter” turns into “Time Blotter”.
Time Blotter is a character that is part of the Emergents Trading Card Game (TCG). If you have been following the developments lately, you could have spotted Time Blotter in the first NFTs that have been sold as part of the Emergents TCG. (That presale has recently ended.)
In-browser reading
The comics can currently be read by opening them in your browser after selecting them on InterPopComics.com. There is a toolbar on the bottom of the reader when you open the comic and using the Panel View feature will zoom in and let you scroll through the story picture by picture.
This allows you to read comfortably and view the artwork in great detail. The reader will be improved over time. The reader is very much still in beta and we will be adding new features for the foreseeable future — next up is Guided View.
Voting
Voting is already active and currently, you can participate in two voting events. Voting is real simple, all you need to do is log in with your Tezos wallet and own the NFT of the comic that the vote is about. Then you click on one of the three choices that you can make.
The current vote on The Nine series is about the cover of the #2 of the series. From THE NINE artist and comics veteran Steve Ellis come three striking cover sketches featuring the Time Blotter–and your vote will determine which will come to fruition for THE NINE #2.
The current vote of the Emergents Presents series will decide which character of the 1st issue will return in the series first. Now, you can tell us which character was your favorite. Whose story should we continue first in a future issue? Whose adventure is the most exciting?
