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.
Image Comics is launching D’orc this February, a high-fantasy comedy about a lonely half-dwarf, half-orc orphan who’s prophesied to end the world. Armed with only a talking enchanted shield and an overwhelming need for friendship, D’orc accidentally gets pulled into an epic war that will make every creature in the realm know his name. From the creative team behind I Hate Fairyland comes a series that doesn’t take fantasy tropes seriously.
Popeye sails into the world of I Hate Fairyland this October in issue #45. Image Comics brings the iconic character into Gert’s chaotic journey, with guest artist Jay Fosgitt joining Skottie Young for this special crossover.
