Netflix is launching its first project with Wanted creator Mark Millar, since acquiring Millarworld, the publishing company he operates with Lucy Millar. The first thing Netflix will release from the team is actually a comic, to be sold both in digital and print formats, called The Magic Order.
The six-issue series is written by Mark Millar, and includes art by Olivier Coipel, who previously did worked Thor, The Avengers for marvel. The story center around a family team of musician heroes who take on an enemy targeting them. It sounds a bit like a Harry Potter but for adults, with the magicians blending in among normal people with boring everyday jobs.
Netflix announced they’d be doing comicbooks when they first acquired Millarworld.
