“You had me at magic talking eyeball shield. Brett Bean creates a fantasy world like no other! Don’t be a dork, buy D’orc!” —Robert Kirkman
PORTLAND, Ore. 11/21/2025 — 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) team up for a high-fantasy romp in the upcoming, D’orc. This exciting, all-new ongoing series is set to launch from Image Comics in February 2026.
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.
“I always gravitate to stories that have purpose, heart, and humor,” said Bean. “I love characters that are flawed, believable, and feel real despite being in a very unreal world. There’s a lot of D’orc in me…”
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.
