Orcs!

In Orcs!, BOOM! Studios presents a gritty, darkly comedic fantasy series that follows the grunts of a horde—the overlooked, beleaguered foot soldiers of orc-kind—as they navigate a world of epic quests and thankless labor. Launched in 2021, this six-issue run is defined by Christine Larsen's expressive, kinetic art, which brings a scrappy charm to the horde's misadventures. A fresh perspective on classic fantasy tropes, the series matters for its focus on the everyday lives of its monstrous protagonists, offering a humorous and surprisingly heartfelt look at the creatures usually relegated to cannon fodder.
