ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Could you briefly tease the world ofThe Magic Order?

My other hero Stan Lee is amazing at this too.

Something a mainstream audience can really connect with.

Its R-rated adult fantasy.

But Netflix is very persuasive.

Its genuinely a privilege to have him drawing the first volume of this series.

I hope he can do more because the bar is just so damn high now.

The Olivier Coipels and so on.

Its actually a pretty perfect arrangement.
