Orc Island is a delight. It follows a fairly classic adventure formula: a street urchin or sell-sword signs up for adventure with the promise of riches and gets more than they bargained for. OrcIsland BadIdea Review
\nOrc Island is a four-issue miniseries by Joshua Dysart, Alberto Ponticelli, and Matt Hollingsworth. Bad Idea published the series, which means it's only available in single issues and must contend with the publisher's contentious PR.\nBad Idea teaser, various artists\nDepending on your kindness to Bad Idea, contentious can be replaced with effective or exasperating. Or 'probably illegal,' depending on how serious they were about selling 'jobs' at the company.
\nWithout going too deep into the plot, it's a pleasure to read an adventure story where the characters cannot outrun the consequences of their decisions. Those consequences can be brutal and grisly, which Ponticelli draws with gusto. Orc Island is large on spectacle, and it's to the penciller's credit that my eyes regularly widened during the course of the four issues.\nHollingsworth's colors are vivid and wild and complement the action well.
