D'Orc #2D (Image Comics 2026) 2nd Printing Brett Bean
D'Orc #2D (Image Comics, 2026) 2nd Printing from Brett Bean continues the offbeat, time-bending adventure that fans crave. D’Orc is dodging every wizard and warrior because a doomsday prophecy says he’ll destroy the world—so the human urge to control fate collides with a stubborn hero who prefers plotting his own path. The real challenge isn’t prophecy alone—it’s time itself, as he and his quirky entourage confront a trio of threats that collide with hilarity and danger: time thieves, a Time Lord, and the surreal, head-turning company he keeps—including the Ghost-chicken-with-its-head-cutoff. This 24-page, full-color issue packs humor, heart, and high-stakes moments into a single, unforgettable read.
