 Volume 1
From Justin Roiland, co-creator of Rick and Morty, comes ORCS IN SPACE, a wildly funny and absurd fantasy adventure set in deep space!
Gor, Kravis, and Mongtar are three Orcs trying to survive while on the run from everything and everyone on their home world. When the naive bureaucrats from StarBleep land on their planet, the orcs unwittingly steal most advanced ship in the fleet and blast into the dankest reaches of the outer galactigon. After befriending the ship's AI, D.O.N.A, the gang encounters everything from pacifier-sucking bounty hunters to raucous nightclubs to steampunk Space Rats. The cosmos will never be the same, thanks to the Orcs in Space!
Volume 2
From Justin Roiland, co-creator of Rick and Morty, comes Orcs in Space, a wildly funny and absurd fantasy adventure set in deep space!
Mayhem ensues! Volume 2 of Justin Roiland’s hilarious series Orcs in Space finds Gor, Kravis, and Mongtar making new allies and enemies across the greater Galactigon. With the help of an increasingly sapient D.O.N.A., the orcs face off with an eccentric scrapper bot, a cantankerous cat mechanic, and incur the wrath of a biker gang called the Fuzzballs to discover the truth about D.O.N.A.’s mysterious creator. Will they survive the stand-off with evil scientist Dr. Smedley before Starbleep, the Space Rats, and the rest of the orc-hating universe hunt them down?
Volume 3
The third and final book in the wildly funny ORCS IN SPACE series!
It’s the mayhem-packed finale of Orcs in Space! After defeating Smedlar the World-Basher and kinda saving the galactigon, the orcs get no respect! When their old enemies the Space Rats and StarBleep threaten their homeworld, D.O.N.A. brings the orcs back to crusty ol' Muckball. The adventuring party grows when that paragon of orcitude, Mergon Thunderhoof, joins a deadly quest to find the one thing that can save their world. If they fail, this is the end of orc civilization! And that's probably bad...right?
Wow...ok I was just search for "orcs" to see what my library had found Orcs in Space...ok, sure the title alone says its gonna be silly but, well I don't watch Rick and Morty either so just not my kind of humour. A completely inept Starfleet...sorry Starbleep...crew lands on a planet and the two crew members are out exploring when three clueless orcs happen to run on board by mistake. The A.I. ask them if they want to command the ship and they go sure, whatever that means, and off they go, creating confusion and mayhem wherever we go, while we get a not very funny parody on Star Trek on the side. The orcs are first captured by a bounty hunter baby, then are attacked by steampunk rats and...tribbles? Well, they are called fuzzballs, but they're more like tribbles with legs...and lots and lots of teeth.
And then there's a cyborg cat, which I thought might save the series, but no, wasn't enough. If anything it got more juvenile and silly, and well, I guess its for young boys so they might appreciate all the barfs and other crude jokes...I mean it ends on a giant planet sized butt...(you'll have to read it for yourself to find out...) And while the art was appropriate for book, there is one page when they activate this reality warping thing and you know you're not a fan of the original art when in that two-page spread it's your favorite piece of art because the characters are drawn as if they were real instead of cartoons. The cat in particular was uber-realistic and detailed.
I will admit that D.O.N.A and Pepperfoot in cloaks were super cute, yes, I used to watch He-Man as a kid so I got a kick out of D.O.N.A's getup in particular.
