Our *not so* favorite wizard mafia are back! (The Magic Order vol 2)

Welcome everybody to our first review in our theme "Continuations"! In this theme, we will review the next volume in a series that we've already reviewed. If you don't already know, The Comic Panel is a bi-weekly radio show/podcast comic book club covering any and everything regarding comics and manga. We have each co-host pick a book that follows a specific theme and review a book for each episode. Then we wrap up the theme with a retrospective episode covering our opinions and favorite moments from each of the books. 

Since we've already reviewed volume 1 in this series, we are reviewing the second volume of The Magic Order. This book has creatives such as Mark Millar as writer, Stuart Immonen on the art, with Sunny Gho and David Curiel as colorsits, and Clem Robins as letterer. 

The Magic Order vol 2 introduces us to a new group of villains led by a wizard named Victor Korne. These villains seek to take back the power that Victor believes is rightfully theirs. See, a thousand years ago, Soren Korne was ruler over the earth, but a group of wizards fought and overthrew him and went on to establish their protection over the earth. This group would form what is now called The Magic Order. Victor Korne wants to restore the earth to the way it was when his ancestor was in power, where humans were fearful of the dark because of the monsters that walked among the earth. His plan is to call upon a powerful demon, Othoul’endou, which gave Soren Korne his power. They summoned this demon by gathering the pieces of an artifact called the Stone of Thoth which takes the demon from any place in the world and in time straight to the summoner. The Magic Order has to stop this band of evil wizards with a powerful ancient demon on their side, a threat they’ve never faced before.
