Here’s your first look at a trailer for Prodigy, a new comic book from Netflix’s Millarworld comic company. The trailer introduces super-genius Edison Crane and sets the stakes as he’s faced with the first problem he may not be able to solve, and if he doesn’t, it could mean the end of the world.

Prodigy is written by Mark Millar and drawn by Rafael Albuquerque.
When Netflix acquired Millar’s comic book company Millarworld earlier this year, the streaming giant announced plans to create movies based on Millar’s Empress, Sharkey the Bounty Hunter, and Huck as well as TV series for Jupiter’s Legacy and American Jesus. In addition, Millar has been working on creating new movies and shows for Netflix, some of which will be getting comics. The Magic Order (written by Millar with art by Olivier Coipel) was the first of these comics and up next is Prodigy, out next week. A Prodigy movie is currently in production for Netflix. A comic for Sharkey the Bounty Hunter from Millar and artist Simone Bianchi is on the way in February 2019.
Check back on IGN next week for our interview with Millar where he talks about the inspiration for Prodigy and gives a status update on all of his Netflix projects.

\r\nAbbott is an eclectic series that somehow manages to combine hard-boiled detective tropes, investigative journalism, race relations and Lovecraftian horror into one cohesive mix. The \u002770s-era Detroit setting helps a great deal, as it creates its own set of challenges for the titular protagonist, a confident black woman reporting the news in a time and a place where her very existence is barely tolerated.

While the absence of Doom Patrol is sorely felt, at least we have a great new addition to the line n the form of Magdalene Visaggio and Sonny Liew\u0027s Eternity Girl. This series delivers all the surreal, mind-bending storytelling we\u0027ve come to expect from the imprint. However, it also tells a compelling story of a super-powered girl battling depression, body dysmorphia and suicidal thoughts. It\u0027s the rare superhero comic that both high-concept and deeply personal.”,”height”:1080,”width”:1920,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/eternity-girl-1531191466279.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/eternity-girl-1531191466279_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:”07″,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles\r\n
\r\n
\r\nDC has devoted a lot of time and energy in recent years to crafting adult-oriented reboots of popular Hanna-Barbera properties. Exit Stage Left may well be their most successful attempt yet. The series is comically absurd yet deeply tragic, casting Snagglepuss as a Tennessee Williams-inspired playwright battling homophobia and the Red Scare in 1950\u0027s America. It\u0027s not the sort of pop culture reboot that should work, but somehow Mark Russell and Mike Feehan pulled it off.”,”height”:1080,”width”:1920,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/exit-stage-left-1531191466282.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/exit-stage-left-1531191466282_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:”08″,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Gideon Falls\r\n
\r\n
\r\nWe were sorry to see Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino end their run on Old Man Logan last year. But the good news is that their partnership continues on in the creator-owned horror\/conspiracy series Gideon Falls. And if these early issues are any indication, this could wind up being Lemire and Sorrentino\u0027s finest collaboration yet. It\u0027s surreal, unsettling and yet personal and intimate in the way Lemire\u0027s best work always is.”,”height”:664,”width”:1180,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/gideon-falls-1531191466284.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/gideon-falls-1531191466284_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:”09″,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Green Lantern: Earth One\r\n
\r\n
\r\nIn a lot of ways, Green Lantern: Earth One is DC\u0027s most successful addition yet to this popular graphic novel line. It shows a willingness to subvert expectations and reinvent a character who\u0027s remained very locked in one particular course for the past 14 years. Gabriel Hardman\u0027s art in particular succeeds in casting Hal Jordan and his world in a new light. Needless to say, we\u0027re eagerly awaiting a sequel.”,”height”:1080,”width”:1920,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/green-lantern-1531191466287.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/green-lantern-1531191466287_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:10,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Infidel\r\n
\r\n
\r\nIt can be tough to stand out from the crowd of great titles at Image Comics, especially with a horror comic. But Pornsak Pichetshote and Aaron Campbell have had no trouble leaving a mark with Infidel, a series that combines supernatural dread with the dangers of Islamophobia. This is a series that plays on the fear of the unknown and the unseen to devastating effect, while at the same time roping in readers with a cast of fully realized characters.”,”height”:445,”width”:790,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/infidel-01-cvrb-1531191466289.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/infidel-01-cvrb-1531191466289_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:11,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Justice League\r\n
\r\n
\r\nJustice League is one of the few DC titles that didn\u0027t get a boost from DC Rebirth. Fortunately, 2018 brought about a return to form for the series. First, the weekly miniseries Justice League: No Justice ushered in a new era for the team built on the framework established in Dark Nights: Metal. That then set the stage for the relaunched Justice League, with writer Scott Snyder and artists like Jorge Jimenez and Jim Cheung building a better League to confront bigger and more terrible threats. The series manages to both honor the past (including the Justice League animated series) while charting an ambitious new course into the future.”,”height”:1080,”width”:1920,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/justice-league-1531191466292.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/justice-league-1531191466292_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:12,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Kill or Be Killed\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThere are few creative teams in comics as dependably great as Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. Kill or be Killed is easily one of their best collaborations yet, telling the dark story of a young man who gains an extra month of life for every person he murders. The series reached its fittingly tragic conclusion with issue #20 in June. We\u0027re sorry to see it end, but now we can look forward to the next Brubaker\/Phillips project.”,”height”:663,”width”:1177,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/kill-or-be-killed-1531191466294.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/kill-or-be-killed-1531191466294_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:13,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Marvel Two-in-One\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe absence of the Fantastic Four has been sorely felt at Marvel Comics these past few years. Marvel may finally be bringing the series back later this summer, but for now it\u0027s Marvel Two-in-One that\u0027s been keeping the (human) torch burning. This series chronicles the possibly misguided efforts of Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm to restore their lost family. The book manages to be both humorous and heartfelt in a way only writer Chip Zdarsky can manage, and it features what looks to be the last Marvel art from Jim Cheung for the foreseeable future.”,”height”:720,”width”:1278,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/marvel-two-in-one-1531191466296.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/marvel-two-in-one-1531191466296_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:14,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Mighty Morphin Power Rangers\r\n
\r\n
\r\nFrom the start, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has served as an exciting continuation of the original TV series. But nothing could have prepared us for the directions the series has traveled in 2018. The \u0022Shattered Grid\u0022 crossover has ushered in a bold new era for the series, one that unites the Rangers with their counterparts throughout time and space for a massive conflict with Lord Drakkon. If you have any sort of nostalgia for the TV series, you need to be reading this comic right now.”,”height”:859,”width”:1527,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/mighty-morphin-1531191466298.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/mighty-morphin-1531191466298_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:15,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Mister Miracle\r\n
\r\n
\r\nAs much as DC Rebirth has reinvigorated the company\u0027s iconic favorites, it\u0027s also opened the door for bold new takes on less familiar faces. No book has succeeded in that regard as much as Tom King and Mitch Gerads\u0027 Mister Miracle. This series captures the grandeur and scope of the classic Fourth World stories, yet it also tells an intimate love story and explores the fractured mind of a master escape artist confronting the ultimate challenge – death itself. At this point, only a few issues remain in King and Gerads saga, and it may well go down in history as one of DC\u0027s best comics of all time.”,”height”:1080,”width”:1920,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/mister-miracle-1531239084646.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/mister-miracle-1531239084646_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:16,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Nancy\r\n

\r\nWho would have thought that a comic strip that\u0027s been running for over 80 years would be one of the freshest and most enjoyable projects of 2018? That\u0027s what happened with Nancy, which welcomed new artist Olivia Jaimes aboard in April. Jaimes quickly set a new tone for the series, combining a classic aesthetic with an acerbic wit and a splash of modern social media. It\u0027s a textbook example of how to reinvigorate a stale property.”,”height”:834,”width”:1482,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/nancy-1531191466300.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/nancy-1531191466300_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:17,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”The Prince and the Dressmaker\r\n

\r\nThis delightful graphic novel takes a familiar Disney movie formula – with a young monarch-to-be struggling with a desire for independence – and turns it on its head. The Prince and the Dressmaker explore the bond between Prince Sebastian, a young man struggling with his gender identity and the expectations of an entire kingdom, and a talented dressmaker named Frances who\u0027s hired to design dresses for her prince. Jen Wang crafts a charming and gorgeously rendered story that highlights the need to embrace your truest self.”,”height”:988,”width”:1756,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/prince-dressmaker-1531191466304.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/prince-dressmaker-1531191466304_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:18,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Star Wars: Darth Vader\r\n

\r\nWhen Marvel first announced this series, we weren\u0027t sure if the Dark Lord of the Sith really needed another solo series so soon after the conclusion of the first. But not only has this volume of Darth Vader managed to chart its own course, it\u0027s cemented its status as the best of Marvel\u0027s ongoing Star Wars comics. Writer Charles Soule and artist Giuseppe Camuncoli have repeatedly shown themselves to be masters of subtly highlighting the emotional turmoil of a newly corrupted Anakin Skywalker. If you\u0027ve wondered how Darth Vader grew to become the intergalactic terror he is in the Original Trilogy, you need to be reading this comic. “,”height”:1118,”width”:1987,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/star-wars-1531191466307.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/07\/10\/star-wars-1531191466307_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The 22 Best Marvel, DC and Indie Comics of 2018 (So Far)”,”relativePosition”:19,”albumTotalCount”:23},{“caption”:”Thor\/The Mighty Thor\r\n
