I spent more than half an hour reading this issue, if "reading" is even the right word to use. "Gawking" might work better. I don't think I'll ever be done gawking at this issue, or reading it, because it has the most to offer of any Orc Stain issue I've ever seen: Pulpy, noir story, and jaw-dropping art.
This is art so good it defies physics. We have a double-page spread of One-Eye fighting the Beard's minions in the foreground, a city crumbling behind that, a flashback scene of One-Eye fighting soldiers with a warhammer behind that -- and behind THAT we have a giant tentacled monster the size of a mountain. Every level of the page is an equally detailed mass of avocado-textured bumpy flesh, yet I can see what's happening clear as day. This is what you get when you have one man doing the art, storytelling and colouring, and systematically killing at all of it. I can't imagine the planning, the painstaking detail and the days of work it would take to pull that off.
(Now if only the digital copy of Orc Stain #7 could reproduce that spread without the obvious fold in the middle ... but that's another story.)
Meanwhile, the building chemistry between One-Eye, Bowie and Zazu continues to delight. They're a fun bunch to hang out with, and the issue teases us with the prospect of a fourth character joining the party: A weird fat rabbit warrior dude. So we have that to look forward to. Hold on to your gronches.
