Sometimes a comic just hits differently. D’orc dropped from Image Comics and immediately sold out. The second printing? Nearly 25,000 orders. That’s not normal for a new series, and it’s got people comparing it to launches like Saga, The Department of Truth, and Stray Dogs. Brett Bean created this half-dwarf, half-orc character who’s supposedly fated to destroy the world, but he’s just trying to make friends. He’s got a magic shield that won’t shut up and a ghost chicken with its head cut off as companions. The book mixes high fantasy with deadpan humor and serious violence, and readers are connecting with it hard.
The Energon Universe is reaching a breaking point. Void Rivals #26 from Skybound and Image Comics arrives January 28, 2026, with preview pages showing Quintesson forces launching a devastating assault on the Sacred Ring. The attack forces an unprecedented development—ancient enemies the Zertonians and Agorrians must fight together or perish separately. Writer Robert Kirkman and artist Andrei Bressan deliver what looks like a watershed moment for the series that anchors the entire Energon Universe.
