The Disciples

For fans of Syfy's The Magicians. "The Magician", Part One. So, you think you know the truth about magic? Wicca, Voodoo, Chaos, Tarot…call it what you will…but it is much different than believed. This isn't the old school of speaking in rhymes and staged theatrics, there are fundamental elements at work on our everyday lives so powerful, so dangerous, they threaten to tear the very fabric of reality asunder. But who guards us against this impending onslaught? The Disciples, a misfit group of old and new school seers, magicians, and wielders of the Black Arts whose own internal politics pose as great a threat to their survival as any outside influence. In this issue: The members of the Disciples are introduced and include a young girl who discovers her incredible powers are also something else - uncontrollable; a failed entertainer who holds the secret of stopping the pending onslaught...but no one will listen; an ancient old woman who struggles to hold everything together and wonders what will happen to it all when she is gone; a mystical tarot card reader who dies...yet, again. They join the rest of the members as they gather to take solace in the death of one of their own. But the Knights Templer are keeping a watch and have plans for members of this group as this mysterious organization is on a mission to resurrect one of the ancient gods. A plan that if it comes about could very well mean the destruction of the world.
