A Turf War Among Wizards Breaks Out in the Sequel to The Magic Order

Posted on by

Bestselling writer and producer Mark Millar returns to the magical world he created as a live-action Netflix series to release the second volume in the comic book adaptation. Olivier Coipel was drafted in to draw the first volume in this five-book set and delivered one of the best jobs of his career. Now legendary artist Stuart Immonen is in the chair for the much-anticipated sequel. The Magic Order 2 #1 will launch this October from Image Comics. 

In this new story arc, a magical turf war like you’ve never seen before! The London chapter of the Magic Order has entered the scene, and these tough Guy Ritchie-style gangsters have a problem with the Eastern European Warlocks moving into their territory. Can new leader Cordelia Moonstone keep the peace?

Jupiter’s Legacy’s Cast has Been Released as Netflix Turns to Mark Millar’s Supercrooks

Posted on by
Supercrooks

Variety is reporting that Netflix has “released the cast” of Jupiter’s Legacy. This signals there won’t be a season two of the show as of now. It’s not too surprising as the show launched with little buzz and after launch little more. It has just a 38% critical approval though the audience has rated it 72%.

The series is one of the high-profile launches for Netflix and their purchase of comic publisher Millarworld. Millarworld is Mark Millar‘s creations that include the Jupiter series of comics, Kick-Ass, and more.

One of those, Supercrooks, is moving ahead. It has received a live-action adaptation order from Netflix.

Super Crooks is set in the same world as Jupiter’s Legacy and follows villains, where Legacy followed heroes. The show will be the “next installment” showing Netflix is focused on an attempt to build their own “cinematic universe” of superheroes. There’s also an anime series coming to Netflix of the same property coming later this year.

Netflix purchased Millarworld in 2017. Jupiter’s Legacy was the first property to spin out of the deal. A series based on the comic Magic Order is also in the works.

Get a front row seat for a 1-hour conversation with Mark Millar, one of the most influential comic creators of the modern age, as we discuss plans for Millarworld, Netflix, past and future projects, and a whole lot more!

Mark Millar is a New York Times bestselling author, Hollywood producer, and now president of his own division at Netflix. His DC Comics work includes the seminal Superman: Red Son. At Marvel Comics, he created The Ultimates, which was selected by Time Magazine as the comic book of the decade, and described by screenwriter Zak Penn as his major inspiration for The Avengers movie.  

Millar also created Wolverine: Old Man Logan and Civil War. Civil War was the basis of the Captain America: Civil War movie, and Old Man Logan was the inspiration for Fox’s Logan. Mark has been an executive producer on all adaptations of his books, and worked as a creative consultant to Fox Studios on their Marvel slate of movies.  

Millar’s creator-owned books Kick-Ass, Wanted, and Kingsman: The Secret Service have all been adapted into hugely successful Hollywood franchises.  Since selling his publishing company to Netflix in 2017, Millar also signed on to exclusively create comics, TV series, and movies for the streaming service. Adaptations of Jupiter’s Legacy, The Magic Order, Reborn, Sharkey the Bounty Hunter, American Jesus, Empress, and Super Crooks are among those currently being made right now, with Jupiter’s Legacy the first to be streamed.
