After Eating the Art World, NFTs Are Shaking Up Entertainment Industry If the first era of NFTs was largely centered on the art world, the next is certain to be more diverse, encompassing movies, albums, graphic novels, comic books, games, and sport. Evidence for this evolution is plentiful, with the highest-selling NFT collections belonging to the sport (NBA Top Shot) and play-to-earn gaming realms (Axie Infinity), the latter having recently surpassed $1 billion in total sales. Creative Crack Team Set to Launch Animated NFTsOne exciting NFT project set to enter this milieu is a limited-edition collection of comic book characters from the forthcoming graphic novel Alien Samurai Dino Warriors. Slated to launch on emerging NFT platform ENVOY Network, which recently raised $2.5m funding from a clutch of high-profile VCs, the project is a collaborative effort between a musician, movie producer, and entertainment executive. The collection is a notable example of content creators coming together to explore the commercial possibilities offered by the NFT vertical. Alien Samurai Dino Warriors is the creation of EDM DJ Dimitri Thivaios, Batman producer Michael E. Uslan, and the latter’s son David, an entertainment executive with a passion for comic books and graphic novels. Additional creative input has come from prolific cartoonist Erik Burnham (Ghostbusters, Spider-Man) and Marvel Comics editor Heather Antos.
