THE MILLARWORLD IS EXPANDING AT DARK HORSE WITH NIGHT CLUB 2 AND PRODIGY: SLAVES OF MARS
Millarworld continues at Dark Horse Comics with the continuation of two popular series from creative legend Mark Millar. Night Club 2 brings artists Juanan Ramirez (Darkhawk) and Fabiana Mascolo (Yasmeen) back to the world of vampire superheroes for a six-issue series. Prodigy: Slaves of Mars sees artists Stefano Landini (Hellblazer) and Millarworld alumna, Michele Assaraskorn (The Ambassadors) join Millar in the return of the problem solving genius turned superhero, Edison Crane.
“We kicked this range of Dark Horse books off with Nemesis: Rogues Gallery and now we’re ramping up a gear with TWO big launches this month.” said Millar. “Prodigy is my favourite character I’ve ever created. A combo of Sherlock Holmes, Bruce Wayne and Indiana Jones just lets me tell a million different stories and we’re all really excited about this one. The first Night Club series went down great last year and I’m keen to see what people make of the sequel. The whole run of books from Dark Horse is something we think is really special and it’s off to a great start.”
After the smash hit series of 2023, Night Club 1, the vampire superheroes are back. The only problem is they’ve all fallen out and things are looking dire for the budding team. Sam will never forgive Danny for dating the girl he loves. Issue #1 features main cover art from Ramirez with a black and white variant as well as a variant from the prolific team of artist Jae Lee and colorist June Chung.

Prodigy: Slaves of Mars:
The action-filled story of the smartest man in any room continues as Edison Crane faces down the murder of his father. Someone killed him after Edison stumbled across the world’s greatest secret, and now this mysterious force is out to destroy Edison’s life as well. More mysteries remain, like what is his father’s role in NASA’s secret space program, and what does it mean for all mankind? Edison Crane will need all his mental faculties to get to the bottom of this dangerous adventure. Cover art includes a main cover from Landini along with a black and white variant.
Let the secrets be revealed in Prodigy: Slaves of Mars #1 (of 5), in stores on August 7, 2024. Pre-order at your local comic shop for $4.99.
