PORTLAND, Ore. 02/10/2026 — Brett Bean’s D’orc debut has taken the industry by storm. The recently announced second printing has come in at nearly 25K in orders, seen a surge in speculator activity, and is pacing that of previous breakout launches like James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds’ The Department of Truth, Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner’s Stray Dogs, and even Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ Saga. Image Comics is pleased to reveal a first look at preview pages from D’orc #2, which will hit shelves in March from Image Comics and continue the rip-roaring adventure.
"I’ve run out of words for the reaction to D’orc and his healthy dose of hope, humor, and violence!" said Bean. "Not a great look for a writer, but the Dictionary suggested amazed, floored, confused, and overwhelmed so let’s go with all of the above.”
In D’orc #2, 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.
Armed with nothing but a wisecracking enchanted shield and a crippling need for friendship, a lonely orphan stumbles headfirst into Sunderaine’s never-ending war. Light vs. Dark. Elves vs. Orcs. Wizards vs. Common Sense. Dragons vs. Literally Everyone. And caught dead-center? D'orc. Half dwarf, half orc, and wholly inconvenient to a doomsday prophecy, D'orc’s 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. Unfortunately, so will his enemies.
Perfect for fans of Conan the Barbarian, The Lord of the Rings, and, of course, I Hate Fairyland’s deadpan humor, D’orc is an adventure readers won’t want to miss.
