Hi - you are subscribed to this so I can send you some short and scannable news pieces of interest about NFT’s and Thndrhs.

Frank Miller and his NFT

Here is the landing site: https://frankmiller.io/

Here is the OpenSea page: https://opensea.io/collection/frankmillersincity

Here is the news of one of them going for $840K

I bought this one - it is an NFT and physical piece together:

VeVe is another company taking Marvel comics and DC statues and turning them in NFTs. You might see some familiar art here and you can be assured that VeVe is paying out a licensing royalty and the original artists are not participating in that.

I attended DC Fandome - an online event promoting DC’s entertainment releases (no comic news) and they worked with PalmNFT to give everyone a free NFT just by registering - here is the one I got:

This is one of the best ways to get collectors into digital collectibles I have seen so far. 500K people watched the YouTube stream and that was one of a few ways to watch DC Fandome so extrapolate a small percentage of that to see how many of these are out in the wild and how many will continue to collect them.

I made this Notion that contains more reference material about NFT and the specific comic space we are entering to educate our collaborators and partners.
