Orcs!: The Curse #2

The second chapter of Orcs! The Curse arrives with a cover by Christine Larsen that pulls no punches: a lone orc in fur-trimmed armor tumbles helplessly through a swirling vortex of sickly green energy, surrounded on all sides by a ring of leering, snarling orc faces half-submerged in the churning mass. The color palette — scorched reds and toxic yellows bleeding into that eerie green — gives the whole image a cursed, otherworldly dread that perfectly suits the subtitle. Published by KaBOOM! in 2022, this is fantasy-comedy storytelling with genuine visual ambition, and Larsen's expressive creature work makes every grinning face in that swirl feel distinct and alive.
