    NYCC’12: Dark Horse Comics to reveal exclusive series for ePlate device

    Press ReleaseBy Press ReleaseOctober 10, 2012No Comments5 Mins Read

    Press Release

    Dark Horse Comics will reveal two new exclusive comic book series for the ePlate™ payment device at New York Comic Con.

    The Dark Horse experience™ application is a payments application for the new battery-powered ePlate™ credit card.

    With every purchase, card carrying comics fans can earn exclusive issues of two new series of Dark Horse comics.  The first exclusive series is Conan: The Phantoms of the Black Coast.  The second exclusive series is a team-up of Dark Horse characters X, Ghost and Captain Midnight!

    To celebrate, Dark Horse will be hosting a signing with Dark Horse president, Mike Richardson, as well as Ghost artist, Phil Noto, and Captain Midnight writer, Joshua Williamson at New York Comic Con on Friday October 12 at 10AM in booth #1528, and will distribute  a limited number of  special edition prototype, demonstration ePlate™ devices to attendees.

    At any time, an ePlate™ user  can select to use the Dark Horse experience™ application for the ePlate™ payment device.  The Dark Horse application allows users to earn pages of exclusive Dark Horse comic books with each purchase.  After all pages of a particular comic are obtained, the user is provided with a complete digital comic.  After a certain number of digital comic books are collected, Dark Horse provides, at no cost to the user, a collectible print copy of each exclusive comic book earned, unavailable anywhere else!

    “Dark Horse will not only introduce two new exclusive comic book series, this will also introduce a revolutionary new way to earn and experience comics” said Mike Richardson, president and founder of Dark Horse.

    “Conan and the new team-up are an amazing set of properties to feature on the new ePlate™ platform,” said Jeff Mullen, CEO of Dynamics. “Consumers can now receive comics just by living their life – just by using their ePlate™ device  to pay for meals,  comic books, movie tickets, or any other everyday item.”

    The ePlate™ payment device is subject to a credit approval.

    About the Dynamics ePlate™ Payment Device

    Dynamics’ ePlate™ payment device is a paper-thin, flexible computing platform in a payment card format.  The device includes the Electronic Stripe® — the world’s first fully card-programmable magnetic stripe.  The Electronic Stripe® can be read at any existing point-of-sale (POS) magnetic stripe reader.  The device includes two buttons – one for a first experience and one for a second experience.  Based on which experience option was selected, the device changes the information on the Electronic Stripe™ to reflect the selected experience so the user can swipe the card in any store and enjoy the selected experience.

    A user can change the experiences associated with the buttons on the ePlate™ device at any time.  All a user has to do is use the Dynamics Experience Manager™ software through their favorite phone or accessible through their online banking account.  The Experience Manager™ provides an ecosystem of experiences that can be assigned to the buttons on a user’s ePlate™ device.

    The ePlate™ device is as durable as a traditional payment card and will last over three years on a single battery charge. The technology does not require any change to the 60 million 1970s-era magnetic stripe readers or reeducation of its merchant base.
