Comic Book
The Official Comic Book of Metal Shiba.
“Metal Shiba is faced with a final and mysterious threat. The "Makers" are invading Dogeville, reaping its citizens faster and faster. In a race against time, he will have to commit all his strength to understand what is happening and how to stop the catastrophe.”
Intro
Metal Shiba was born from the creation of a comic book that has as protagonist a superhero, it will be published every week, on a usual day at the usual time, in the section "Comics - Reading", precisely every Friday, until the conclusion of the story. We will create, the paper version and promote it at the most famous comic book fairs. This will promote not only the comic itself but also the token, making it known in external contexts. As artists (writers, cartoonists, illustrators) we have chosen professionals in the field with several jobs behind them and who can guarantee a quality product: both in terms of the comic itself but also the NFT we will create. We intend to sell real "Works of Art" and, therefore, that are made by real artists and not NFT without artistic value reproducible by anyone. Being subjects external to the world of the blockchain their works will be unique and there will be no other creations within the blockchain guaranteeing a real value consisting of the talent of the artist himself. We will then promote this product outside of the crypto world, such as in international Comic fairs. We are already in contact to book a stand at the Lucca Comics and Games 2022 that attract more than 200K visitors each year from all over the world.

Why Metal Shiba?
Meme: The meme (from the Greek μίμημα, mímēma, "imitation", on the model of a gene) is a cultural element that propagates, by imitation, from one individual to another. It can take the form of an idea, style or behavior, and it can be propagated through interpersonal relationships or through the mass media. Memes, like genes, have the properties of replicating, mutating, and being subject to natural selection.
Metal Shiba it is a meme of a dog who is a superhero. The comic has a history very attached to the conditions of the crypto world and makes references to the world of Marvel superheroes. The superhero, Metal Shiba, fights against all the copies and the multitude of canine subjects that have been taken as subjects for the Meme tokens. Often used, ridiculed, with good names and thrown into the “fray” to launch a new trend that often has a short duration and brings profits to petty users.
Metal Shiba's mission is to get these wandering, bewildered characters who often fight their own "brothers" back on track.
Everything is an ironic reference to the many investors who are dazzled and think of investing in the new bitcoin, but who often end up losing money by investing in a crappy Shiba Inu imitation.
Characters
We wanted the character to be heroic, hi-tech and to be a born fighter, albeit in a meek appearance, inserting elements that refer to cinema and science fiction and action comics of the 80s. The instructions were to recreate an anthropomorphized canine character, with an armor for advanced combat and a cannon in the right arm.
