Christine Larsen in July 2022

BOOM! Studios revealed a first look at ORCS!: THE CURSE #2, the second issue of an all-new original four-issue comic book series by cartoonist Christine Larsen (Adventure Time, By Night) and colorist Gonçalo Lopes (Adventure Time), spinning a new adventure in the world of the beloved misfit ORCS!, with some familiar faces and a brand new set of characters who could turn out to be the greatest friends—or foes—you’ll ever encounter, available in July 2022.

The last thing any Wizard should do is interrupt an Orcish dance party! However, even a ruined party is no match for a good prank. But no Wizard is complete without magical mayhem, and a murder of crows to carry out his revenge…

ORCS!: THE CURSE #2 features main cover art by Larsen and variant cover by artist Qistina Khalidah (Mighty Morphin).
