The Magic Order V #4

THE MAGIC ORDER (VOL. 5) #4 commences the penultimate issue in the volume with death, demons, and the beginning of the end of the world.

Plot Cordelia, Clyde is deeply intimidating and he narrates how he is possessed by several demons and how he managed to control them. He was never a magician or sorcerer, a tragedy presented him with the opportunity to save his life in 1978, but it was actually a trap by the demons. For many years he was a puppet and did a lot of evil, but now he is focused on doing good and his mission is to save Cordelia from all the hitmen sent by the Fellowship of The Bell. His origin story is great. But are Clyde's intentions sincere? His appearance is too timely. The hitwoman Sister Moon continues to approach Cordelia. Cordelia narrates her first encounter with the death of a teenager that her father Leonard managed to save with his spells, at that moment he explains to her that she should not fear death, that it is only a step to another world, but Cordelia fears going to another world full of enemies that she has sent there. On the other hand, we finally know who is leading the Fellowship of The Bell, the terrifyingly chilling Samuel Mott, who carries out a ritual where he sacrifices an innocent child who is part of a long line of children abused by their parents and from there he finally gets the bell, which when rung will bring a terrible being that is waiting to enter our world from the Egyptians. Mark Millar continues to decorate this saga with his creativity, where each individual story of each character deserves its own comic. This installment continues to increase the pressure, it is a race against time. Art With detailed and very dynamic art, Matteo manages to capture that world of mystery, magic and terror that Millar has built, the solid foundations of a universe where several artists have left their powerful imprint. The palette of pains creates a balance between warm and cold colors in hypnotizing transitions. Summary Cordelia becomes intimate with Clyde and listens to his story, which is shocking and exciting, while the plan of the Fellowship of the Bell continues to advance in a chilling way. This comic gets better with each installment. more
