This Dungeon and Dragons type story has a lot of potential. The artwork by Chris Wildgoose is excellent. I liked the Romeo and Juliet type romantic complications of the human/orc pairing. This first volume, collecting issues #1-6 from 2023-24, serves mostly to set up the premise of a war between the orc-human alliance and the evil Vangol for control of a dying world. Time will only tell if it pays off with a satisfactory ending.
