Published Tue, 25 Aug 2015 13:30:36 -0500

Michael Bay's 451 Media Group announced the launch of its 451 Interactive Publishing division that will focus on a merging of printed graphic novels with digital video. Using Touchcode Technology from T+ink, readers can use their smart phone to unlock exclusive content housed on the Machinima Network. The graphic novels will debut around New York Comic-Con in early October. 451 will be offering fans a sneak peak of the content, along with additional information and promotions, beginning this summer on Machinima.

The lineup of creators for 451's graphic novels includes:

Scott Rosenberg (Con Air, High Fidelity, Gone in Sixty Seconds)
Skip Woods (Wolverine, Hitman, A Good Day to Die Hard)
George Pelecanos (The Wire, The Pacific, Treme)
Mark Mallouk (Black Mass)
Clay McLeod Chapman (The Boy, The Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man, Edge of Spider-Verse)
Peter and Paul Williams (vfx for Avatar, The Avengers, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, King Kong, I Robot, District 9)

How Touchcode Technology Works: A special ink used in the printing process of graphic novels published by 451 will instantly unlock access to exclusive content on users' touch-screen enabled mobile and tablet devices. In this instance, 451 digital content will be accessible via a dedicated mobile application.
