The Mallard Order Comic Issue #1 — The Saga Begins. (Updated)
INTRO:
Mark your calendars! The premiere issue of The Mallard Order comic book will debut on August 19, 2023, at 1:55 PM UTC. This is the first issue out of 5 within Season 1. Delve deep into The Mallard Order's roots and discover its founding members' intricate tales. The comic will be released as a readable NFT and additionally redeemable as a physical copy, purchasable with ADA.
With variant cover editions with the following rarities — common, rare, super rare, and mythic — only a limited 2000 copies will be available. Our strategy to present comics as CIP-68 NFTs pave the way for supporters to get a sneak peek into every issue before its physical release. But there’s more — these comics are not just static pages but dynamic NFTs with leveling capabilities. Leveling the comic will add sound, visual effects, and more.
Ownership of the comic is not limited to just reading. It’s packed with various perks:
- Reduced prices on all subsequent comic editions (tied to the variant you possess)
- The ability to swap unredeemed comics for their physical counterparts
- And a slew of other benefits!

HOW TO READ YOUR COMIC:
A link to our token-gated reading site will be posted on the day of the mint. Those who mint can simply log in by connecting their Cardano native wallets. The site will automatically find which comic issues are in your wallet and from there, you can select and read your copy. Make sure to have your speakers/sound on while reading for the max level of immersion.
LEVELING COMIC/DYNAMIC CIP-68 NFT:
Comics will be able to be evolved; there are 3 different levels to your Comics. Each level will make the comic evolve. These changes will range from music, and sound fx, to visual effects. $RUNE will have to be used for each level of your comic. You will be able to level up your comics by August 28 to Level 2 which is needed in order to redeem for a physical copy. More information on this comes in a later Medium article centered around the claim process.
Level 1 to Level 2 = 55 $RUNE
Level 2 to Level 3 = 150 $RUNE
All $RUNE used to level comics will be burned, thus making it scarcer. $RUNE is truly a utility token that is meant to partake within the offerings of our ecosystem. Hold it tight for these sorts of occasions.
PHYSICAL REDEMPTION/CLAIM:
There are several crucial points we would like to bring to the attention of collectors before you can Redeem:
- Your comic must be Level 2 in order to redeem for a physical copy (55 $RUNE required)
- Kindly anticipate a wait of two to three weeks for the dispatch of your comic
- You will have to pay for your own shipping
- We’ve ensured additional prints of “The Mallard Order Issue #1” in the event that a collector’s copy incurs damage during transit. Every comic will be accompanied by a proof of authenticity, which is unique and irreplaceable. This will be essential, should a replacement be necessary.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Your unwavering support propels us forward. With your backing, we will be able to develop all 10 issues (Season 1 and Season 2) while representing The Mallard Order at comic conventions and tradeshows, amplifying its reach and legacy. From the deepest recesses of our hearts, thank you. Here’s to the Odyssey and the enriched journey that we’ll share!
