Brett Bean’s D’orc keeps selling out. Issue #2 sold out at the distributor level and Image Comics is rushing it back to print for March 25th. Issue #1 is also getting a third printing on March 18th. The series follows a half dwarf, half orc orphan who’s fated to end the world according to prophecy. Armed with a wisecracking enchanted shield and Ghost-chicken-with-its-head-cutoff, D’orc stumbles into Sunderaine’s never-ending war.
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.
