The Magic Order Vol. 1 by Mark
Miller is an adult graphic novel urban fantasy series. While living among us as
average people, five families that can use all the forms of magic, secretly
protect the world from supernatural threats to it. Someone is picking off one
by one members of the various families. Can the five families stop it before
they are completely wiped out?
I really enjoyed this graphic novel
full of twists and turns. The worldbuilding is interesting. This is a very
violent and very adult read. There is nudity, sex, homicide, and graphic
deaths. No one dies peacefully. All the deaths are quite horrible.
My favorite characters in this book
were Cordeillia, who is like Zatanna from the DC Universe, but with a more
rebellious personality. I highly enjoyed Uncle Edgar. Uncle Edgar is the
guardian of the headquarters of the magic order. He is completely housebound
and suffers from anxiety about leaving his home, but still remains a capable
hero in his own right.
I am looking forward to reading
volumes 2,3, and 4, which are out now and available at my local library.
By the way, Netflix is currently
turning this series into a tv series. The new show is supposed to be out this
year.
