3. Project Description
The first ICX Comic season enabled us to create and publish a set of visual explainers the covered some of the main technical topics surrounding the ICON ecosystem. With this new proposal, we want to keep on building on top of what we have already achieved and cover those areas we lacked during the first one. We learned a lot about making the first season, we would love to create a second one.
The ICX Comic proposal centers on the development of visual explainers that translate ICON’s technical documentation and developments into a compelling and catchy narrative.
For Season 2, we intend to produce 6 more comics and 3 visual guides, this time focusing not only on specific ICON technology but also on the broader problems ICON aims to solve. We are targeting a larger audience, and we intend to keep expanding our public as the project evolves.

Season 2
Among the main goals of ICX Comic, we highlight the need to bring new contributors and developers to the project and educate more people about ICON’s technology. We maintain our position of using visual content to drive engagement among the younger audience who use visual centered platforms like Instagram, Twitter.
As we said earlier, in addition to comics, we will create visual guides, explain in detail how to work with relevant products and the ecosystem as a whole.
We have decided to create ICX characters to explain different aspects of the ICON ecosystem. As example characters that explain ICX coin, I-score, Staking and Development.
What does the community get during Season 2?
