Three kids stumble onto an abandoned amusement park and wake up mechanical horrors, forcing Lady Mechanika to team up with Inspector Singh to track down Mistress Grimm before more people get hurt.

Half Dwarf, Half Orc, All Sold Out!

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.
