Move Over Smallville: Drama and Myths of Crypto Come to Life in New Comic Book Series

Move over DC and Marvel: a fledgling company wants to create a comic book universe where crypto and blockchain are at its center - building an immersive experience for readers with a whole new suite of coveted collectibles.

Tokenville says comics offer an exciting format for entertaining crypto enthusiasts, not to mention enlightening those who are new to the community.

Comic debut unveiledThe business is close to releasing its first effort in infusing comics with blockchain - known as The Crypto Treasures.

Designed by the renowned comic book author Vitaly Terletsky, the storyline centers on the so-called "Myths of Crypto." Set in ancient times, it explores the clashes between Good and Evil as they both pursue a mythical beast known as "Mass Adoption."

Tokenville's argument is that, when you think about it, the crypto world has established its own mythology over the past 10 years of existence.

Tokenville has teamed up with CryptoKitties to develop a new show known as Crypto Detective, as the collectibles brand attempts to expand its so-called "KittyVerse." The stars of this particular title will include genuine CryptoKitties submitted by their owners for participation.

A bridge from crypto to pop cultureTokenville says the crypto community has always been closely tied with geek culture - and many industry leaders have long had an affinity for comic art.

The company acknowledges there have been several projects in the past which have sought to inject the crypto universe into comics.

They have included Bitcoin: The Hunt For Satoshi Nakamoto - a graphic novel which officially became the very first comic book about Bitcoin.

Crypto-driven comic books have also been able to achieve a different purpose: satire.
