DC Comics presents the physical Catwoman comic at the San Diego Comic-Con

DC and Candy Digital are ready to release “Catwoman: The Legacy Cowl” at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2024, which continues the blockchain-based Batman: The Legacy Cowl series. The physical-digital comic, set to launch July 25, pits Catwoman against a new DC supervillain created with fan input.

Written by Cavan Scott with cover art by Jonboy Meyers and interior art by Fico Ossio, the comic will be available for free at SDCC and digitally on Candy Digital with exclusive variant covers.

“We have 600 print books per day to give away, and anyone at San Diego Comic-Con can redeem an exclusive digital twin convention edition as part of an open edition collection on the 25th as well,” Caitlyn Burns, Senior Director of Story at Candy Digital, shared with crypto Briefing.

He added that during SDCC there will be a paid DC3 giveaway open to any DC Comics collector, featuring five digital variant editions at varying levels of rarity with original cover art also by Jonboy Myers.

The digital comic sale begins July 25 at noon ET on the Candy Digital platform. Fans can also redeem a free SDCC digital collectible for a chance to win a physical copy of Batman #426, titled “Death in the Family.”

Web3 is still great

Non-fungible tokens (nfts) are on the decline as an investment for crypto-native traders. Over the past 30 days, nft transaction volume fell by 42.5%, according to data from CryptoSlam.

However, entities like Candy Digital continue to push for nft and Web3 adoption, as it remains a powerful tool for building communities and engaging users. “One of the most important aspects of our program is the idea that the Web3 community can take on a new role in the story we are creating,” Burns explained.

While there are already fan clubs, alternate reality games, and other forms of fan participation, such as voting for Batman's Death in the Family comic in 1988, Web3 takes this ecosystem to a new level.
