Orcs!: The Curse

In Orcs!: The Curse (2023–present, Boom! Studios), the green-skinned brutes of fantasy lore take center stage in a single-issue debut that flips the script on epic quests. This series, from a publisher known for bold genre twists, follows a band of orcs as they grapple with a supernatural affliction, blending dark humor with sword-and-sorcery chaos. Writer and artist Christine Larsen brings a distinctive, lively art style to the book, making it a fresh entry in Boom!’s line of irreverent fantasy comics. It matters as a compact, character-driven exploration of the underdogs of myth, proving even orcs can have their own cursed adventures.
