"When I took over Heavy Metal, it was with the singular goal of bringing the proverbial 'Ranger from the North back to his rightful throne at Minas Tirith'; collaborating with Crypto.com on a slate of digital collectables is like taking a giant step closer to Gondor," said Heavy Metal CEO Matthew Medney. "With the first collection inspired by my very own hard sci-fi book 'Beyond Kuiper: The Galactic Star Alliance,' which I co-wrote with John Connelly, we use the concept of discovering new worlds to literally offer owners of the NFTs entry to Heavy Metal's worlds — which is epically awesome. Then we get to top that with NFTs from the 'zombie lord' himself, George C. Romero — and if that isn't enough, Joe-freaking-Trohman of Fall Out Boy is realizing his story 'The Axe' as digital collectibles. The next four months with Crypto.com/NFT are going to be insane — or as my partner, Heavy Metal President and Head of Studio Tommy Coriale, so eloquently puts it: 'Buckle the f--- up.'"

Key Points: 
  • The partnership will launch a Heavy Metal Magazine store on Crypto.com/NFT, where fans and collectors will be able to explore and trade in a wide variety of exclusive content.
  • The iconic publication's debut collection on the NFT marketplace is scheduled for release on September 15, 2021 at 9 a.m. PT.
  • "In that way, Heavy Metal shares many common values with the cryptocurrency and NFT communities making this partnership a perfect fit.
  • With CEO Matthew Medney now at the helm, Heavy Metal promises to boldly go where no one has gone before.
