Transmedia Comic Series - Are you willing to give up your identity?

A FULLY PARTICIPATORY TRANSMEDIA PROJECT

The idea is to bring together different communities of readers and gamers so that they feed each other around a common open source fiction. If you want to bring a dish and contribute to the feast of MEDIAENTITY's world, you'll soon be able to download our How to document and start creating characters and plots 100% compatible, whatever medium you choose.

Love the art and look of this comic series. Interesting concept and love the idea of making it completely open source. Crowdfunding for the first season starts in January 2013.
