Netflix has just launched their latest original anime ‘Super Crooks’, but where can you purchase the original comic book series online?
In August 2017, the streaming giant Netflix purchased the exclusive rights to the Millarworld comic book company.
Millarworld had built a name for itself in the comic book industry, but rose to fame after Kick-Ass, Wanted and Kingsman: Secret Service became international hits.
This would prove to be a fantastic move for both parties, with Netflix ordering television adaptations of countless Millarworld series, including Jupiter’s Legacy and the upcoming Prodigy and The Magic Order series.
The latest Netflix adaptation of a comic book title is ‘Super Crooks’ – here is everything you need to know, including where you can purchase the original series online.
The Super Crooks anime series…
The Super Crooks anime series premiered worldwide through the Netflix streaming platform on Thursday, November 25th.
Super Crooks tells the story of Johnny Bolt, who after realising he can control and generate electricity at a young age, turns to a life of super-crime, rather than becoming a hero.
After being released from prison, Bolt decides that he needs one last big heist and starts to assemble his crew for the job, a potentially fatal bank heist in Spain.
Super Crooks is animated by Studio Bones, who are best known for producing the hit My Hero Academia, Mob Psycho 100 and the Netflix series, Godzilla: Singular Point.
