5/12/2023 0 Comments Orc Stain, Vol. 1 by James Stokoe![]() One Eye is a safe-cracker, but the safes he cracks aren’t just safes, they’re living creatures that people store things inside (and maul people if they set off the alarm). The orcs we are introduced to are in line with our general expectations (they’re murderous, unsavory creatures bound to clan life), but the breadth of detail is something wholly unique. As the story of One Eye, an orc thief of no small skill, Orc Stain covers a remarkable amount of ground not so much in its story, but in its attention to detail in world-building. James Stokoe, to his credit, has answered those questions in Orc Stain. ![]() Not really.įor starters, what specifically is so evil about the orcs? They’re an advanced civilization with their own politics and art forms. ![]() Why? Because the quest is sacred, the items are magic and the orcs are evil. It’s the thing missing from 99% of fantasy stories out there.īlah blah blah, quest. ![]()
