Logan. So when Netflix bought Millarworld for somewhere between $40 and $50 million, according to
The Hollywood Reporter, it was a big deal and one that only has Disney buying Marvel in 2009 and Warner Bros. buying DC in 1969 as precedent. It took four years to see what that deal would actually yield for Netflix, but the first piece of that puzzle is
