Caitlin Burns, Director of Story at Candy Digital, shared insights into the project in a recent interview with BeInCrypto. She emphasized that their DC programs on Candy allow fans to work with artists and writers to contribute to new comics and in-world experiences.
“When fan communities get to directly influence the storyline, like the Bat Cowl holders do with Batman’s storyline, and now Legacy Cowl holders have for our current experiences—creates a unique connection between audience and creators. There’s a deeper emotional investment from participating in the creation of a story,” she explained.
In addition to the physical-digital comic, Candy Digital is launching a new Legacy Cowls digital collectible experience. Following the sell-out success of the 4,000-edition Legacy Cowls Base 1 Collection in March, the Base 2 editions will be available starting July 23. These collectibles allow fans to unlock exclusive San Diego Comic-Con items and participate in immersive, augmented reality (AR) experiences.
