Brett Bean’s D’Orc lands at Sony Pictures

Posted on by Leave a comment

Sony Pictures has landed the live-action film rights to D’Orc, the comic series written and drawn by Brett Bean and published by Image Comics. Bean is attached to adapt it. Yes, the announcement said “live-action,” not “animated.”

The series is fantastic, and you can check out our reviews and previews of the series. The story follows D’Orc who is part dwarf and part orc and might bring about the destruction of the world. The light side and dark side are both out to stop him. Did we mention that D’Orc’s friends include a bloodthirsty enchanted shield and the ghost of a decapitated chicken?

The series is a hit with the first issue up to its eighth printing with other issues also receiving multiple printings.

D’Orc #9

(W) Brett Bean (A) Brett Bean

D’orc travels to the Frozen Moors in search of the Bone Witch and to escape that annoying Dark Golem that’s hunting him. But the Necromancer atop the snowy mountains is slowly building an army of meat monsters and D’orc now comes to face, to face, to face, to… oh, gross why are there SO many faces!?!

NYCC 2026: Brett Bean’s D’orc Goes Glow-in-the-Dark

Posted on by Leave a comment

The full first story arc of the breakout, bestselling hit series D’orc by Brett Bean is getting a glow-up with a line of very special Glow-in-the-Dark variant cover reprints—or shall we say: Glow-in-the-D’orc? These highly collectible covers immediately lit up retailers when first revealed earlier this week at the comic shop retailer event at New York Comic Con and kicked the show off on a high note.

Armed with nothing but a wisecracking enchanted shield and a crippling need for friendship, D’orc follows a lonely orphan who 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 is destined 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.

The D’orc “Glow in the D’orc” reprint variants will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 25.

Comic cover featuring a split face of a whimsical creature on one side and a monstrous version with blood on the other, with the title 'Glow in the... D'ORC' prominently displayed.
A menacing character in a green and black cloak, adorned with sharp, glowing accents. The figure has a fierce expression with glowing eyes and sharp claws, surrounded by electric-like energy effects. The text 'GLOW IN THE... D'ORC' is displayed at the top in bold, stylized letters.
A fantasy comic cover featuring a glowing orc wielding a large hammer and casting a green glow, with a smaller, frightened character in the foreground. The title 'Glow in the... D'ORC' is prominently displayed at the top.
A colorful comic book cover titled 'Glow in the D'orc', featuring green-skinned goblin-like creatures in a dynamic pose, standing around a mountain with exaggerated facial expressions, some wielding weapons and engaged in action.
A vibrant comic book cover featuring a character in a mask, emerging from a glowing green substance, with the title 'Glow in the D'ORG' at the top.

D’orc meets Schweinehund, a vicious warrior aimed at bringing justice to all the lords of Sunderaine. Yeah, this dude is wound tight and we’re pretty sure the King of Goblin Gate probably has it coming, but at what cost to D’orc and his companions?
Oh, and Troll meat will be eaten…sloppily.

D’orc finds himself in the dark realms with a bad case of swamp ass. And by swamp ass, I mean Bog Monsters. Many of them. They aim on dragging him and the nice lady on the lake down into the depths with them. Will D’ORC escape with the help of Chicken and Shield, or will the very life of him be drained?

Witchblade passes the Gauntlet around with Team-Up Variants this September

Posted on by

Image Comics and Top Cow have revealed a line-wide Witchblade Team-Up variant covers in celebration of the milestone Witchblade (2024) #25 issue’s premiere this September. Some of the biggest names in comics will put their artistic spin on Witchblade as its iconic characters make an appearance across the covers of some of Image’s most popular ongoing series.

Witchblade is a comic book series published by Top Cow Productions, which ran from November 1995 to October 2015 and December 2017 to January 2020. The series was created by Marc Silvestri, David Wohl, Brian Haberlin, and Michael Turner. The comic series was made into a TNT television series in 2001 and was directed by Ralph Hemecher and starred Yancy Butler as Sara Pezzini. Later, Top Cow and Japanese animation studio Gonzo produced an anime adaptation of Witchblade, which debuted in 2006.

Marguerite Bennett and Guiseppe Cafaro’s current run on Witchblade (2024) features a reimagined origin, with contemporary takes on familiar characters, as well as fresh story arcs to hook new fans and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the ’90s Image Revolution. New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life is forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power? …Or will she be consumed by it?

Witchblade will appear on the covers of:
