Midwest Book Review: Orcs: Forged for War
Orcs: Forged for War is the first graphic novel of the popular and award-winning Orcs dark fantasy universe. Set in a devastated land, where two factions of humans wage a bloodthirsty conflict, Orcs: Forged for War follows the Wolverines, an elite cohort of orc warriors (and one headstrong dwarf sergeant). The orcs are allied with the witch-empress who is at least willing to include nonhuman races underneath her merciless, iron-fisted rule; the opposing human faction seeks to commit genocide upon all nonhuman races in the name of its God. When the orcs are assigned to protect a unit of goblin-sorcerers transporting a mysterious and deadly new weapon, their mission begins with frustration and ultimately escalates into life-threatening peril! A savage fantasy brought to vivid life in full color, Orcs: Forged for War is utterly compelling from cover to cover and highly recommended.
