Picked this up in my local comic book shop as it looked like something I would like and I definitely did. The orc characters in particular were great. Really interesting world. Can’t wait to read more.

This was my first encounter with The Hunger and the Dusk and it stuck with me immediately.

This is a high-stakes fantasy where the future of humans and orcs looks so bleak, they're compelled to forge an unlikely alliance against their common enemy. The story alternates between band of human fighters and a dynasty of trolls trying to save the world from both this enemy and environmental extinction. I absolutely loved the characters in this story. They're kickass and sweet and I'm now invested in their individual plots, so I'm hyped about where the story is likely to go next. I also adored the artwork, which reminds me of classic comic books with a fantasy twist.

If you're a fan of fantasy such as The Lord of the Rings, with epic battles and unlikely heroes, you'll love this one.

✨ Disclaimer ✨ I received a free copy of this book and this is my honest review.

The art is breathtakingly well done! The characters are nice, though basically only four of them are examined in more detail, with not much gain. It’s a nice story, with its Achilles heel being the plot, which wasn’t very striking nor very original. Not bad, but not fantastic. A short and nice read that's fun at times.
