“First of its Kind” Collaboration Reimagines Sunday Comics for a Web3 Generation

Liithos, a AAA gaming and entertainment studio led by PlayStation veterans Michael Mumbauer (The Last of Us) and John Garvin (Days Gone), and Web3 marketplace CoinZoom have collaborated with mega-influencer Michael Le (52.2 million TikTok followers) to create an innovative narrative series that will launch exclusively on TikTok. The epic adventure, starring Le and TikTok influencer Slider Jesus (257k followers on Instagram), will introduce the world to Ashfall, the first transmedia IP announced by the Liithos team earlier this year, with a comic book series launching in March and a AAA video game currently in development, built on the highly respected, low-cost, and sustainable Hedera network.

To fully embrace the opportunity that Web3 provides for both gamers and artists, this inaugural series generates 5 free digital treasures, each of which includes a “easter egg” of three pages of the next comic for fans to acquire – all of which include famous comic book talent.

Liithos sees this as the beginning of a fully realized vision in which all the benefits of decentralization, social gaming, and narrative-led content merge brilliantly.

Mumbauer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Liithos, said:

“Today’s superstars are elevated by millions of real fans and followers on TikTok where we find our new heroes and villains. We are looking to collaborate, integrate, and elevate multimedia experiences with superstars like Michael Le for the next generation. The Liithos TikTok Creators series is the first of many experiences Liithos is looking to launch to create easily traversable pathways between media and the evolving web space.”

Mumbauer continued:

“We were very particular about who we wanted to make Ashfall with. We believe in sustainable ecosystems and want a healthy planet, but also love innovation. Hedera allows for both. We can innovate but not at the expense of our planet. They were the only choice for us. CoinZoom brings the simplicity and user experience that opens the door to all, not just the web3 crowd – so anyone can get in at the start of this new franchise.”

Beginning January 29, the five-part digital series will be available on Le’s popular TikTok and, in a nod to the Sunday Comics of old, will offer a new episode every Sunday. Liithos will commemorate each episode with a one-of-a-kind free digital collectable accessible only through CoinZoom, with collectors paying only a tiny processing charge. Fans who have collected all five digital collectibles may return to acquire a bonus sixth mystery digital collectable that is only accessible to those who have completed the full event.
