Photo by: DC Comics Press Release

DC Comics announced its entrance into the NFT bandwagon through the release of its own non-fungible token collection next week. The American comic book publisher and the flagship unit of DC Entertainment are set to unleash its NFTs before its 2021 FanDome event.

The activity is DC Comic’s one-day virtual fan event that will be free for global fans. It will feature a live webcast and activities on Oct. 16. Prior to this affair, the flagship unit of DC Entertainment will release its very first NFT collection.

DC Comics partnered with Palm NFT Studio for the creation of its digital collectibles for the upcoming FanDome 2021. This will be an epic non-fungible token (NFT) collection as it will feature some favorite major DC characters.

The NFTs will be launched in three tiers of rarity, and these will drop on Oct. 5. DC’s NFT series will be curated by Jim Lee, the company’s publisher and chief creative officer. The digital assets will be developed using Palm NFT Studio’s exclusive system, which is said to be an environmentally friendly technology.

It was added that apart from being energy-efficient and eco-friendly, DC chose to team up with Palm NFT Studio as it was “designed to be as flexible as artists are creative.” The company believes it will be able to build the groundwork for its ambitions and help in the creative development of its first set of NFTs.

“We spent a lot of time on how to translate and adapt these classic covers into a 21st-century format such as NFTs,” Jim Lee said in a press release. “This drop pays homage to our 87-year history while visualizing a future in which NFTs play a foundational role in novel ways of interacting with DC content and unlocking new experiences.”

DC Comics is the latest big brand name to enter the world of blockchain and digital assets. Meanwhile, as it announced its plans for NFTs, it stressed that the offerings “highlight the company’s legendary history, breadth of characters and diversity of storytelling.”
