Spotlight: End of the World Pizza
A new comic with some unique features
End Of The World Pizza is a new comic with additional Augmented Reality and NFT aspects. Usually, I’m not a big fan of NFTs, but using it to redeem for a physical comic here seems a good idea.
This is by the creative force behind Neon Wasteland, which I had previously back on Kickstarter, too.
In this cyber-noir thriller, you are the detective hunting a serial killer inside an artificial reality where AI has stolen everyone’s face.
End of the World Pizza is a comic book/video game hybrid that bends reality as it invites it’s reader to become the central character in an interactive narrative brought to life with stunning animation and a John Carpenter inspired darkwave soundtrack composed by Krome Kid Music.
Artist/Writer/Developer: Rob Shields
With dynamic panels, the use of AR, which includes motion and sound and being able to scan the different panels to introduce new aspects to the story, this looks like an entertaining use of comics and technology.
I really enjoyed Neon Wasteland and the use of the app with it.
Rob Shields is the artist, writer and developer behind numerous AR comic books including the 2020 Auggie nominated Neon Wasteland. He created the Heavy Metal Magazine AR app in 2018. In 2022 he teamed up with Pizza Hut to augment pizza boxes around the world and give away free pizza for a year to his Web3 community.
