The Magic Order Vol 4 #6 is the last issue in this volume of the comic series created by Mark Millar and Olivier Coipel. The spellbinding art for volume 4 comes from Dike Ruan. If you’ve missed the other three volumes, they’re available to purchase online, but more importantly, from your local comic book store. You can find my reviews for the third volume here.
The Magic Order revolves around a group of magic wielders who protect the world from dangerous threats. It also doesn’t shy away from tackling heavy subjects. The story centres around the family who leads The Magic Order – the Moonstones. In particular, it’s the rebel daughter Cordelia whose usually the focus.
The previous issue ends with Madame Albany dooming the world by making Edgar remember who he truly is…
The Magic Order Vol 4 #6 opens with the fallout from the last issue’s cliffhanger. Madame Albany reveals her true plan to the powerful Edgar and that’s all I can say about the story. Everything that comes after is better to read for yourself. What I can say though is that The Magic Order is by far my favorite of the Millarworld series. Cordelia Moonstone is also one of my favorite characters.
The issue doesn’t stop to catch a breath, taking us on a rollercoaster that ends in a way we didn’t expect. As a whole, The Magic Order Vol 4 has told an interesting story that started back in the first-ever issue. It never let up and whenever you were a step ahead, you weren’t really. Mark Millar was, always.
As for Dike Ruan’s art, well, what can I say? I adore his work. In lieu of spoilers, I can’t talk about a specific page but it’s one of the most beautiful pages I’ve seen in a comic book. I hope to see more from him with Millarworld (and outwith too!)
The next time we’ll see The Magic Order will be during the Big Game crossover. It brings characters from every Millarworld property together and is currently releasing once a month.
