Since the virtual reality service’s launch in 2021, the so-called “successor to the mobile internet” became the recipient of a kind of soaring hype few things are ever blessed with. According to Insider, McKinsey claimed that the Metaverse would bring businesses $5 trillion in value. Citi valued it at no less than $13 trillion. There was only one problem: The whole thing was bullshit. Far from being worth trillions of dollars, the Metaverse turned out to be worth absolutely bupkus. It’s not even that the platform lagged behind expectations or was slow to become popular. There wasn’t anyone visiting the Metaverse at all. The sheer scale of the hype inflation came to light in May. In the same article, Insider revealed that Decentraland, arguably the largest and most relevant Metaverse platform, had only 38 active daily users. The Guardian reported that one of the features designed to reward users in Meta’s flagship product Horizon Worlds produced no more than $470 in revenue globally. Thirty-eight active users. Four hundred and seventy dollars. You’re not reading those numbers wrong. To say that the Metaverse is dead is an understatement. It was never alive.

I devoted my nights to imagining other worlds. A bit with the help of wine, and a bit with that of the green honey. There is nothing better than imagining other worlds to forget the painful one we live in. At least so I thought then. I hadn’t yet realized that, imagining other worlds, you end up changing this one.

Sorry for the radio silence! I’ve been juggling the upcoming animated series, album #2, comics, as well as some additional stuff regarding the 360° Hexperience, our virtual ”live gig”, which just came out a couple of weeks back.

The response to the Hexperience has been amazing, and I want to thank all of you who've raised their horns and crabwalked with us through this painful yet rewarding journey. You rule! 🔥🤘🔥

And yes, if you’re still interested in checking it out, you’ll find the info on igg.me/at/belzebubs. Please note, though, that Indiegogo doesn’t offer an autoreply to which I could add the necessary details to, so I’m always sending out the infos out to you manually, so to speak. 🙂

Thanks again, more comics dropping later!
