It’s a trip to the spa for D’Orc, but this attempt to escape from all of the madness he’s been encountering seems only to lead to more chaos. Throw a fortune teller into the mix, and it’s another wild day for D’Orc.

The last few issues have really turned this series around; after a strong start, it felt like issues 2 and 3 followed a very close formula and treaded water, but 4 and 5 have given us a much closer look at who D’Orc is, and the lore is strengthening nicely as a result.

Plus (spoiler alert!), D’Orc has hair. Who knew?

Despite the chaos and humour of the first issue, it has at times been difficult to see why D’Orc became such a breakout success. Brett Bean’s art has always been a real gift to D’Orc, but his writing hasn’t always kept up.

We’re finally seeing some of that early promise being fulfilled, and I’m definitely on board for it.
