PORTLAND, Ore. 02/18/2026 — Brett Bean’s D’orc #2 issue has exceeded 70K orders and fervor for the breakout new series has simultaneously triggered a head-spinning sell-out at the distributor level of the D’orc #1 reprint, weeks ahead of its release. Image Comics has fast-tracked a reprint of issue #1 and is keeping close watch on the dizzying reorder activity already piling up against issue #2.
Fans are advised to hit their comic shop without delay to grab a copy of D’orc #2 and request the series be added to their pull-lists.
“I always knew D’orc was important to me but it’s amazing that he means something to others too,” said Bean. “There are many D’orc days ahead now because of you!”
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.
