Prodigy is a British comic book series created by Mark Millar and Rafael Albuquerque, who respectively write and illustrate the first volume, and published by Image Comics. The title was announced near the end of 2018 as the second comic book collaboration between Mark Millar and Netflix,[1] after the company acquired the Millarworld imprint of creator-owned titles in the summer of 2017,[2] and to be adapted as a film exclusive to the streaming service, along with other of the imprint's comic book series. The first volume ran for six issues from December 2018 to June 2019, and a trade paperback collecting the series, subtitled The Evil Earth, was released the following month.

Two sequels followed: The Icarus Society (2022; illustrated by Matteo Buffagni) and Big Game (2023; illustrated by Pepe Larraz), with a further series, Slaves of Mars (2024; illustrated by Stefano Landini), to be published by Dark Horse Comics.[3]
