The Magic Order is a six issue mini-series written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Olivier Coipel as the first of Millar's comic deals following the acquisition of his Millarworld brand by Netflix. A second series released in 2021, this time drawn by Stuart Immonen. A third and fourth series, with art by Gigi Cavenago and Dike Ruan respectively, were both released in 2023. Millar himself has described the series as Harry Potter meets The Sopranos.Beyond the veils of space and time, there are monsters wildly out of our collective imaginations loose and threatening reality. They are combated by a power group of wizards known as The Magic Order, a collective of various magician families sworn to protect the regular masses. Between being stage magicians and battling Eldritch Abominations, their operations are largely not unlike a magical mafia.Which stands to reason that a mob war be on the horizon.It soon happens, as Madame Albany of the Albany family makes her move against the Moonstones, the family currently heading the Order, by assassinating various powerful figures with the help of a mysterious being known only as "The Venetian." Her goal? To obtain a powerful tome under the Moonstones' possession named The Orichalcum, a book of the darkest spells of history and the only thing in existence that could theoretically bring the dead back to life. Now the Moonstones have to fight back against Albany and ensure that the Orichalcum doesn't fall into the hands of someone as wicked as her.An TV series adaptation is being considered to be helmed by James Wan of Saw and Aquaman fame, with him and showrunner Lindsey Beer acting as executive producers. Production was halted in 2020 because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, but was reported to have been reactivated in 2021.

comment
Resolved Noodle Incident: It's only in the fourth volume that Edgar's backstory and exactly what he did to be imprisoned is explained. Edgar was raised from a young age by Abusive Parents to become a successful writer, as they reasoned giving him a horrible childhood would inform a creative mind. Their plan failed when Edgar's subsequent Tolkien-esque High Fantasy book series about an Invincible Hero named after himself was a flop, destroying his career and ruining his life. After being given a spellbook, Edgar swapped bodies with his protagonist, inheriting his immense power which he used to raze the failed world he created and eventually entered the real world to wreak havoc. The Magic Order eventually pacified him, turning him into the meek old man he is today.

Inn Between the Worlds: The Abington Hotel is a wizards-only restaurant that exists outside of time and space, meaning it touches multiple time periods at once, wizards from various eras from The '40s to The Wild West dine here, and none of them are allowed to start any conflict or interact with one another to prevent paradoxes.

Transformation Discretion Shot: Lord Cornwall introduces his shapeshifting power in a three-panel process, during which we can see his face briefly contorting as he transforms into a murder victim with a knife through his brain. However, all his other transformations occur off-panel: most prominently, Madame Albany demands sex from Cornwall before they head out for their latest assassination, ordering him to take on an interesting form so she can "fuck something legendary." Next panel reveals that Cornwall has become a stark-naked doppelganger of Albany herself - much to the real Albany's delight.

Production Throwback
 The Magic Order (Comic Book) / int_985f0a0f
comment
Production Throwback: Edgar's backstory ends up being one to Mark Millar's The Unfunnies. As it turns out, Edgar's immense power came from a spell he cast to swap places with a fictional Invincible Hero he created for a book series, giving him the hero's incredible magical abilities while King Edgar is trapped in the real world left for dead. Much of this is how The Unfunnies ended, with the antagonist of that book swapping places with a cartoon character he created to escape the death sentence.

For good measure, he also has a sick sense of humor, a fact that he demonstrates by showing up to the funeral of one of his victims in the form of said victim - naked, covered in blood, with a knife in his skull.
