And indeed, the Gallery is live. With images such as these. Because one thing is clear, this is the work of Adam Pollina.

Adam Pollina is a comic book creator and illustrator best known for his work on Marvel Comics' X-Force, Rise of Apocalypse, Angel: Revelation at IDW, Charlemagne at Defiant, Rai and Fallen World at Valiant, Loose Cannon and Big Daddy Danger at DC Comics, and recently Pyrate Queen from Bad Idea Comics. And looks like he is the main creative face for EY3K0N.. who else will be joining him?

Slammed by some for being environmentally damaging Ponzi schemes for money launderers and corporate thieves preying on people overspending for nothing more than unreliable links, more comic book artists are looking at non-fungible tokens as a way to survive current financial concerns and replace the original art market as more turn to digital comics creation rather than pen and ink. While comic book publishers send out legal letters because they want to do NFTs themselves and we may be getting the seventies' fight over original artwork all over again
