We live in a world where we've never seen a monster, and The Magic Order is the reason we sleep safely in our beds. Magic meets the mob in THE MAGIC ORDER, as five families of magicians—sworn to protect our world for generations—must battle an enemy who's picking them off one by one. By day, they live among us as our neighbors, friends, and co-workers, but by night, they are the sorcerers, magicians, and wizards that protect us from the forces of darkness…unless the darkness gets them first. MARK MILLAR's first NETFLIX comic book, drawn by the incredible OLIVIER COIPEL (Amazing Spider-Man, Thor).

Along with Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Millar has been one of the key writers for Marvel Comics in the 21st century. After proving himself in the ’90s as a talent to watch while writing for DC Comics and the UK comic 2000AD, his arrival to Marvel came at a time when Ultimate Spider-Man had just shot up the sales charts. It was in this environment that Millar made his first major contribution to Marvel with Ultimate X-Men, as Millar integrated forty years’ worth of X-Men history, characters and lore into a solid two-year run, making the companion title to Ultimate Spider-Man every bit the creative and commercial success. Next up was The Ultimates, a new rendering of the Avengers that was to continue building on the success of the Ultimate line. He and artist Bryan Hitch pulled it all off in spades: The Ultimates and its sequel, Ultimates 2, were ensconced at the top of the sales charts every month; what’s more, they were critical successes, as well. Meanwhile, Millar was invited to enter the regular Marvel Universe to take a stab at two of its most iconic characters: Spider-Man and Wolverine. Paired with industry heavyweights to draw his stories — Terry Dodson on Marvel Knights Spider-Man and John Romita Jr. on Wolverine — Millar brought the same fast-paced and cleverly constructed plots with which his Ultimate fans were already familiar. Amid building a small library of Millarworld indie comic books — including the titles Chosen and Wanted, the latter of which was turned into a Hollywood blockbuster starring Angelina Jolie — he managed to write Civil War, the epic seven-issue miniseries that definitively reshaped the landscape of Marvel’s heroes. Kick-A**, a Marvel Icon project done in tandem with John Romita Jr., made an impressive impact on the sales chart before also being adapted for a major motion picture. In addition, Millar has reunited with Civil War artist Steve McNiven in both the pages of Wolverine and their creator-owned book Nemesis.

Dark and serious

A dark magical secret world of magicians, not a lot of information on the first issue but enough to get me interested for the second issue

Intriguing story with hard transitions (no spoilers)

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020

I will read anything that’s about magic so I was super excited to pick this up and jump into the story without knowing too much about it. The magic system is wild! They’re doing things that I haven’t seen before in other urban fantasy stories and I’m definitely interested to get the rest of the series (fingers crossed it’s not left on a cliff hanger).

My only issue is with the story pacing and transition panels—there are none. As fast as this story goes—world bldg set up, intro to characters, etc.—it’s incredibly abrupt and jarring, and NOT on a good way. sometimes I was confused when we got to a new scene, as if they shipped a couple of panels... It’s like the reading equivalent of thinking there’s an extra stair left when there isn’t.

With that said, I’m really curious about the family, the murder mystery, and the magic system. If the rest of the issues are good, or better, I might buy this a second time just so I can have a print copy.

This is a real page turner! Not to spoil it but it had a real hook in the first few pages!! I love reading a story about wizards!! I can't wait for the next issue so I can learn more about the characters. I also like the use of colors that the artist use for each panel.

Dark, But Fascinating

I’m going to be honest—I wasn’t sure if I’d like this series based on the premise. It seemed a bit dark for me.

I was not wrong.

Did I still immediately purchase the rest of the series? You bet.

It’s that good.

I had no idea what this was going to entail but ended up making me tear up at the end and the level of detail was really amazing. Give this a try but with an open mind. Lol

Purchased on a whim and Millar's creation is so on point. Copiel is an enraging artist. I thought in was looking at a motion picture. Great investment, Netflix!
