‘Spider-Man’ and ‘X-Men’ NFT Comics Arrive on Ethereum via VeVe’s Innovative App
VeVe, an Ethereum-based NFT collectibles platform, announced the launch of its new VeVe Comics platform and digital comic book reader. Marvel Comics, one of the industry’s powerhouses, has joined forces with VeVe, offering fans access to over 300 new Marvel digital issues on the platform. This includes popular comic book titles featuring iconic heroes such as Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain Marvel, and Black Panther. Notably, VeVe will add new comics on the same day they hit print, enabling users to enjoy panel-by-panel viewing that has been meticulously converted into digital format.
Setting itself apart from traditional digital comic book platforms like Amazon and Comixology, VeVe also offers limited-edition NFT versions of these comics. These NFT editions, minted on the Ethereum scaling network Immutable X, come in various rarity levels and carry a unique edition number. Collectors can resell these NFTs on the VeVe marketplace, and each edition may feature up to five different comic book covers. Furthermore, users can experience an augmented reality reading experience within the VeVe app.
While the standard digital versions of the comics are priced the same as their print and digital counterparts elsewhere, the limited edition NFT versions come with a slightly higher price tag, adding an average of $3. However, this premium cost provides collectors with a rare and exclusive ownership experience.
VeVe CEO David Yu stated, “Being passionate readers and collectors ourselves, we recognized that digital comics fans have been calling for a more immersive experience.” He further added, “Our aim is to create a platform that makes comics discovery fun and easy—one centered on function and design, [and] fosters community and accessibility for all.”
The VeVe comic book app can be downloaded for free on iOS and Android devices. Users can access both the NFT marketplace and Comics app using a single account. Marvel Comics’ integration is just the beginning for VeVe, as the platform plans to collaborate with various brands within the comic book industry.
Founded in 2018, VeVe has become well-known for its digital collectibles, collaborating with major entertainment brands such as Marvel, DC Comics, Disney, and more. Immutable X, on the other hand, has earned a reputation as a gaming network catering to NFTs in popular games like Gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians.
