Tom DeFalco and Jae Lee Launch EY3K0N Anthology – Airdrop Free NFT Pass
|
The EY3K0N Anthology is an NFT-powered digital comic series from Rebel Studios. Which, yes, is still a thing. A series of comic book stories set in their EY3K0N world. And today, they’re launching what they’re calling a limited free airdrop with NFT access passes to give holders an exclusive look at the series, as well as access to interactive experiences and puzzles as the stories unfold. Or, as we used to call it, a free preview. An NFT access card for this can be found by visiting
Contributors include Tom DeFalco, Jim Cheung, Jae Lee, Siya Oum, Ulises Arreola, Ron Frenz, Pat Olliffe, Richard Starking, Allesandro Micelli, Kewber Baal, Fernando Ruiz, AKA, Blake Northcottand others, and it’s been in development for nearly two years, with people including Adam Pollina, former creative director of Xbox Studios Sean Stewart as lead writer, GTA co-creator and Head of Game Design Stewart Waterson and Jesse McMillin.
The series will be available in the form of digital comics on the website EY3K0N.io, and will explore the theme of what society might look like in the near future with technological improvements. Whatever hell it might bring.
The EY3K0N Anthology, an “AR-enabled cypherpunk” comic, will be available to readers in digital comic form on EY3K0N.iowith plans to expand into print formats during 2023.
The first edition of NFT EY3K0N digital comic is set to be released on December 22, 2022, with the “free NFT access pass airdrop” taking place starting today. You’re told to “watch out for easter eggs and rabbit holes as the anthology progresses, as there are layers of experience depending on how deep you dare to go.”
A free NFT airdrop will act as an access pass to the Web3 interactive experience layer. Sneak peaks of the art show what appears to be a blank slate, with all that entails, and promising alternate reality gaming and augmented reality experiences will play an integral role as the comic unfolds.
Tom DeFalco: “I wasn’t part of the Marvel Bullpen in the early 1960s. I wasn’t there when Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and a host of others built the creative foundation of what has come to be known as the Marvel Universe. But I is here today as Jesse McMillin, Adam Pollina, Blake Northcott, Jimmy Cheung, Alessandro Micelli, Ron Frenz, Patrick Olliffe, Fernando Ruiz and a host of others shape the EY3K0N universe, it’s exciting to be part of a creative team filled with so much energy, openness, and support. Exciting new characters, exciting new ideas, and fascinating new worlds spring forth from every discussion. I have a perpetual loving explosion, and I know readers will, too.”
Blake Northcott: “EY3K0N’s creative team reminds me of the early days of Image Comics, where the top creators from all different companies worked together to build something fresh and groundbreaking. It’s such a warm, welcoming environment. I’ve never felt so creatively liberated. If Marvel is “The World Outside Your Window”, EY3K0N is “The World of Tomorrow”. It’s a vision of the inevitable future we’re racing towards, exploring how we don’t just rely on technology anymore – we’re integrated with it. Immersion in the virtual space deepens , and EY3K0N delves into every aspect of these uncharted waters.”
Sean Stewart: “As a writer, I find the world of EY3K0N terribly entertaining. It has big personalities plotting and scrapping and falling in love, set in a world that emphasizes how weird our influencer-driven, AI-managed future could be. We” are willing to give you a few shivers, but this is ultimately not a dystopia (if you want it, turn on the news!)”
Stewart Waterson: “Since I started working with games, which is close to 30 years now, I’ve always been interested in working on the edge of technologies and finding unique ways to bring players into a new space. The Web 3/Blockchain area reminds of the early days of some important milestones in video games for me.From being at the forefront of the rise in popularity of “Mature” games like GTA and State of Emergency to the adoption of social games for mobile and “free to play”, I love to be at the forefront of genres and I’m sure the next creative powerhouse will come from this space, where innovation and ‘all hands on deck’ are the order of the day.I’m lucky enough to work with a great mix of talent, both established and emerging My colleagues at Rebel range from veteran game developers, acclaimed comic artists from Marvel and DC to Nike creatives who all work to build and some real “up and coming” talent from the Web 3 community that I learn from every day .”
