For hundreds of years, those attuned to the powers of magic and supernaturalism have been ostracized and persecuted as "witches" by those who do not understand them or wish to maintain power over them. And yet these individuals continued to practice their knowledge in secrecy to protect themselves and those around them from occult evils that would invade our reality. The most dedicated of these individuals formed THE MIDNIGHT ORDER, an organization that grew through generations into a secret globe-spanning organization of agents who protect humanity from unknown demonic forces that could end the world if left unchecked.

Created by artist and author MATHIEU BABLET, creator of the celebrated, award-winning SHANGRI-LA, CARBON & SILICON, and ADRASTEA, THE MIDNIGHT ORDER is an action-packed series of interlinked short tales set in a shadowy shared universe of witches, witch-hunters, and a menagerie of unimaginable beasts that roam the world unnoticed. Together with a team of 13 other writers and artists, Mathieu weaves an intricate tale around Sheridan and Johnson, two of the Order's best agents, as they pursue the Seraph, an ancient power that threatens to corrupt their ranks from within. Torn by deeds committed in their pasts, Sheridan and Johnson find themselves on opposite sides of a moral quandary, with the fate of the Order hanging between them. Will they be able to overcome their own ghosts to save the world?

Described as "X-FILES meets MEN IN BLACK with witches," this premium 272-page graphic novel contains 17 chapters written, illustrated and/or art directed by Mathieu Bablet along with prose articles connecting these fictional events to real-world esotericism by Mathieu's author-wife, Claire Barbe. While these stories are imaginary, the worldwide practice of witchcraft is not.
