Less magic-murder-porn that the first。 （Yay！） But still all magic-murder-fighting。 （Boo！） More depth to some of these characters （Yay！） But there are enough characters that it takes a few issues to figure out what's going on （Boo！）。 And this is another shallow storyline that looks like it was written just to generate a media deal。 （Boo！） Which Millar has of course gotten。 （Yay？） Less magic-murder-porn that the first。 （Yay！） But still all magic-murder-fighting。 （Boo！） More depth to some of these characters （Yay！） But there are enough characters that it takes a few issues to figure out what's going on （Boo！）。 And this is another shallow storyline that looks like it was written just to generate a media deal。 （Boo！） Which Millar has of course gotten。 （Yay？） 。。。more

This was another great one！We pick up with Cordelia leading the new order and well new challenges for her when a new enemy Victor Korne emerges and we see how his family/ancestors ruled the world until they were taken down by ancestors of Cordelia and thus with new artifacts and all and an army， he wants to take over the world and his rightful position as it belonged to his family a millenium ago and with the monster Othoul'endu and others from legend can he do so？ will Cordelia be able to stop This was another great one！We pick up with Cordelia leading the new order and well new challenges for her when a new enemy Victor Korne emerges and we see how his family/ancestors ruled the world until they were taken down by ancestors of Cordelia and thus with new artifacts and all and an army， he wants to take over the world and his rightful position as it belonged to his family a millenium ago and with the monster Othoul'endu and others from legend can he do so？ will Cordelia be able to stop him and save the world？ Plus whats Francis ties to all this。。 Plus so many losses and a new status quo！This was so good omg I love it， its magic stories at its best， it truly is epic as we get to see Cordelia meet with such a fun challenge ad I love the story of Francis and the whole addiction story with him and the help he gets in the end is awesome and really the villain here is so well done plus Cordelia getting the big heroic moment and yeah its deus-ex-machina but its magic so its perfect here， plus the story of "family" of TMO is so cool， its wizards and sorcery stories at its peak and Millar knocks it out of the park again！ A must read！！ 。。。more

This was fresh， just amazing。 I loved the way the story went。 At the first pages it was too much of information， but it was very necessary。 Writers really got me at the end， but then everything was just fine。 It had magic， fantasy and a lot of Lovecraft paintings all over the theme。 Really loved this one！ I will be waiting to know more about THE MAGIC ORDER， that's for sure。 This was fresh， just amazing。 I loved the way the story went。 At the first pages it was too much of information， but it was very necessary。 Writers really got me at the end， but then everything was just fine。 It had magic， fantasy and a lot of Lovecraft paintings all over the theme。 Really loved this one！ I will be waiting to know more about THE MAGIC ORDER， that's for sure。 。。。more

Had a lot going for it， I had hoped for a little more juice as the end was a touch weak。

Mark Millar likes himself a nice deus ex machina， and because sequels need to go BIGGER， this time it's dei ex machina all the effing way down。It doesn't make the story any less dull， it's basically a rehashing of volume the first， but BIGGER。 Don't expect any surprises。 Do expect most characters you sort of got to meet in vol 1 to get sidelined， and a batch of new underdeveloped characters to be added。Oh and now the characters think to use the whatsitsname club's time travel abilities to solve Mark Millar likes himself a nice deus ex machina， and because sequels need to go BIGGER， this time it's dei ex machina all the effing way down。It doesn't make the story any less dull， it's basically a rehashing of volume the first， but BIGGER。 Don't expect any surprises。 Do expect most characters you sort of got to meet in vol 1 to get sidelined， and a batch of new underdeveloped characters to be added。Oh and now the characters think to use the whatsitsname club's time travel abilities to solve their problems， and not in vol 1 where it would collapse its whole plot in on itself instantly。I don't know how Millar does it， six issues and everything still feels rushed。 With a smug， unexplained ending to see us out。This only isn't one star because the art is still great。 。。。more

Upped the ante on the previous volume。 Dope art。 Predictable but entertaining plot。

Hmm， I really enjoyed the first volume。 I thought the premise was cool， the art was amazing and the protagonist， Cordelia was an absolute badass。This time around however， it doesn't feel。。。 fresh anymore？ It feels like a similar plot line with slightly higher stakes， plus a couple plot holes。 This ended quite nicely though， so maybe I'll just take this as the end of the series for me。 Hmm， I really enjoyed the first volume。 I thought the premise was cool， the art was amazing and the protagonist， Cordelia was an absolute badass。This time around however， it doesn't feel。。。 fresh anymore？ It feels like a similar plot line with slightly higher stakes， plus a couple plot holes。 This ended quite nicely though， so maybe I'll just take this as the end of the series for me。 。。。more

The first volume of this series was really quite good。 The second volume is also good， but the story is pretty much the same as the first volume。 The art is wonderful， tho。

The second time around loses steam as the main plot just repeats from the first volume as another disgruntled faction of wizards tries to destroy the central members of the the Magic Order in order to take control of the organization。 Internecine secret society squabbling gets old fast。 With all the new characters that have to be introduced and action set pieces they're allotted to prove how bad they are， there's any hardly any space left for the main characters to become more fully developed。 P The second time around loses steam as the main plot just repeats from the first volume as another disgruntled faction of wizards tries to destroy the central members of the the Magic Order in order to take control of the organization。 Internecine secret society squabbling gets old fast。 With all the new characters that have to be introduced and action set pieces they're allotted to prove how bad they are， there's any hardly any space left for the main characters to become more fully developed。 Plus， there's Lovecraftian stuff this time around， which I'm not a fan of， and Millar goes to the well one time too many for Cordelia's amazing， unexplained escape abilities。And yet I still enjoyed it overall and am happy to see a third comic book series is beginning right now。 。。。more

With a new Mark Millar book， you know you're not going to be emotionally invested in anything。 It all a ride through some immature attempts at maturity in a slick， "isn't that cool？" package。 And it's always the dumb fluff I need at the moment。 With a new Mark Millar book， you know you're not going to be emotionally invested in anything。 It all a ride through some immature attempts at maturity in a slick， "isn't that cool？" package。 And it's always the dumb fluff I need at the moment。 。。。more

Not much of an interesting story here。 One gets the feeling many of these types of comics are just illustrated teleplays。 As always， Immonen's figure work and posing is tops。 The reliance on computer generate （or photos traced） backgrounds is unfortunate though。 Not much of an interesting story here。 One gets the feeling many of these types of comics are just illustrated teleplays。 As always， Immonen's figure work and posing is tops。 The reliance on computer generate （or photos traced） backgrounds is unfortunate though。 。。。more

Of all Millars' current titles I like the Magic Order the most。 It's nothing groundbreaking story wise but the characters get more development and some stuff I didn't see coming。 Of all Millars' current titles I like the Magic Order the most。 It's nothing groundbreaking story wise but the characters get more development and some stuff I didn't see coming。 。。。more

I just don’t like this series， which is weird because unlike most people， I don’t usually have a problem with Mark Millar or any of his work， but nothing about this jives with me。 It just feels like Jupiter’s Legacy with magic instead of superpowers。 Stuart Immonen’s art is fantastic， but I can’t really say anything else in here is。 Don’t even feel like writing a full review for this， it’s just so damn mid， like the last volume。 Blegh， maybe I'll come back to this and enjoy it more a couple of y I just don’t like this series， which is weird because unlike most people， I don’t usually have a problem with Mark Millar or any of his work， but nothing about this jives with me。 It just feels like Jupiter’s Legacy with magic instead of superpowers。 Stuart Immonen’s art is fantastic， but I can’t really say anything else in here is。 Don’t even feel like writing a full review for this， it’s just so damn mid， like the last volume。 Blegh， maybe I'll come back to this and enjoy it more a couple of years from now， but I honestly just think this franchise fucking sucks。 。。。more

So fun！ I enjoyed it as much as the first。 It's fast paced and touches on a lot without feeling too light while also not being incredibly dark and depressing。 Magic could be a pretty cool thing and I feel like these comics hit the right mix of action/interesting characters/ and shades of gray characters even though we often don't learn that much about the individuals。 The art is fantastic。 So fun！ I enjoyed it as much as the first。 It's fast paced and touches on a lot without feeling too light while also not being incredibly dark and depressing。 Magic could be a pretty cool thing and I feel like these comics hit the right mix of action/interesting characters/ and shades of gray characters even though we often don't learn that much about the individuals。 The art is fantastic。 。。。more

Loved the first story arc in volume 1。 This volume did disappoint at all。 Great art。 Great story。 Can’t wait for volume 3。

The problem with reading things as digital floppies is that well sometimes I forget things。 So the beginning is a little fuzzy， as well as some of the character's names， but。。。Go read this。 Yes， it plays with the trope of magicians keeping most of humanity in the dark from the big bad things that go bump （I mean Harry Potter， Harry Dresden， The Magicians television show all do this in one form or another）。 What Millar does in these novellas （I'm referencing back to both volume 1 and this volume） The problem with reading things as digital floppies is that well sometimes I forget things。 So the beginning is a little fuzzy， as well as some of the character's names， but。。。Go read this。 Yes， it plays with the trope of magicians keeping most of humanity in the dark from the big bad things that go bump （I mean Harry Potter， Harry Dresden， The Magicians television show all do this in one form or another）。 What Millar does in these novellas （I'm referencing back to both volume 1 and this volume） is quick paced story telling， and some character development。 Really， since he seems to have pretty much gotten off of his show and awe story telling binge （i。e。 The Authority） I have found his stories that I have read much more enjoyable。Whereas here the A story line is a sorcerer who has a 1，000 year old family grudge against the order， and the B story line is the development of the Order's new leadership。 。。。more

Mark Millar: 30%Stuart Immonnen: 85%En ésta ocasión Millar está casi despierto。Immonen es un genio pero sin Grawbadger a las tintas claramente pierde algo。Sunny Gho le sienta a Immonen como un sombrero a un botijo。 Bendita sea la llegada de Curiel。

Second series falls flat next to the first one。I thought the first one was excellent and a film adaptation would be superb。This one is so overblown it just feels like meh。。。
