The final issue of The Magic Order as the entire saga concludes. This is everything we’ve been building towards - The death of Cordelia Moonstone. But when she goes there is no-one to protect the world from the forces of darkness who want to consume us. Our most astonishing issue yet!
Millar pulls off an superb finish to the series that finds the perfect balance between action-packed adult magic shenanigans and satisfying heartfelt ending for the main character. The joy is in the journey and this last chapter rounds that journey off in magical style as only a book about a secret order of magicians that protect us from the darkness while hiding in plain sight can!

There certainly are several more possibilities. Maybe the biggest trick will be the wait for a sixth volume? It doesn't seem like a question of if Millar will, but when. And it can't happen soon enough. Read Full Review
This final issue wraps everything up really nicely and delivers something close to a happy ending. I particularly enjoyed seeing Cordelia read her own eulogy a moment that was both poignant and darkly humorous. The final glimpse of Moonstone Castle was also a satisfying way to close the saga. If a movie or TV adaptation of this series ever happens, I'll be first in line to watch it. I just can't help but wonder who would end up playing Cordelia. Read Full Review
THE MAGIC ORDER (VOL. 5) #6 , despite its narrative shortcuts, is a visually dynamic and action-packed conclusion that delivers on the "magic-meets-mayhem promise.

It's a solid enough landing for this arc, but you'll need to trust in the unseen powers more than the plot mechanics. Read Full Review

Mott reveals that this plan by the Fellowship of the Bell has been centuries in the making, that they've set up chess pieces. One piece was him whispering to Rosie that she would use the wand and die, unleashing this chaos and forcing Cordelia to use Orichalcum for the first time, strengthening the monster that is about to enter our world.
At the Abington Hotel, Leonard Moonstone from the past asks the restaurant staff about a scandal, and they explain that it was Cordelia as more
