Dorc (2025)

Armed with nothing but a magical yet ambitiously violent shield, a lonely orphan stumbles headfirst into Sunderaine’s never-ending war between the Light and Dark. Elves vs. Orcs. Wizards vs. Common Sense. Dragons vs. Literally Everyone. And caught dead-center? D'ORC. With a wholly inconvenient doomsday prophecy, the half dwarf, half orc—all D'ORC—is fated to end the world. Soon, every human, elf, goblin, dwarf, Snargletooth, Necroid, Ice Giant, Trauma Llama, and at least three other unpronounceable magical creatures, will know his name and want him dead. There will also be a chicken.   Join fan-favorite artist BRETT BEAN (I HATE FAIRYLAND, DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL THE CROCODILE), colorist JEAN-FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (I HATE FAIRYLAND), and letterer NATE PIEKOS (MINOR THREATS) for a hilarious high-fantasy romp perfect for fans of CONAN, LORD OF THE RINGS, and of course, GERT's deadpan humor.

D’Orc is avoiding every wizard and warrior because some DOOMSDAY prophecy says he will destroy the world. Can he change their minds? Probably not. D’Orc, his magic shield, and Ghost-chicken-with-its-head-cutoff are too busy facing a bigger challenge, KIDS!?! They’re time thieves. Oh, and there’s a Time Lord. That guy sucks.

D’orc is being followed by an annoyingly large and ominous Dwarf aimed on erasing him from existence. For real. Like with a potion from the Silver Witch. Is that even possible? To permanently be erased from existence? Probably, because magic is real. D’orc faces off against a real threat with a giant hammer. Things will happen that will change his fate forever. Or he’ll get wiped from existence. 50/50 chance on this one.

D’orc is stuck between rival goblin gangs and the giant three-headed Thrawg they hunt. It’s all spears and teeth in this one. D’orc is learning in life that you end up a shish kebab or a chew toy. Slobbering will happen, but at least one piece of D’orc will get closer to his destination.

Why is D’ORC wet and naked? What are the town guards chasing him for?! And where is the Lava Dragon that was chained under the Mountain top!?! D'ORC makes a fortune teller prove she’s good at her job by explaining it all. This starts a whole set of problems that nobody saw coming…. accept the fortune teller. Yeah, because she’s that good.

NEW STORY ARC D'orc learns that Fate can be a cruel mistress, or in this case a wise cracking know-it-all creature that lives inside the damn crystal the Bone Witch trapped him in. He will decide to flee or fight as the danger closes in all around him. Expect blood and a special guest that has a bone to pick!
