WOULD BENEFIT FROM<br />
A REFUEL BEFORE OUR<br />
RETURN JOURNEY.<br />
ACCORDING TO<br />
GALACTIC REMOTE<br />

ABOUT THIS<br />
PLANET,<br />
D.O.N.A.?<br />
...“PRIMITIVE<br />
INHABITANTS<br />

VERY<br />
INTERESTING.
COMMANDER,<br />
HOW WOULD<br />
YOU FEEL ABOUT<br />
DISEMBARKING<br />
AND EXPLORING<br />
THIS STRANGE<br />
PLANET?<br />
COMMANDER, THE POTENTIAL FOR<br />
HARM ON THIS UNAFFILIATED<br />
WORLD IS QUITE—<br />
I’M<br />

SHAME WE CAN'T STAY<br />
LONGER. WE RARELY GET TO<br />
SEE THE UNTAMED REACHES<br />

THEY MUST BE<br />
EAGER TO MEET US.<br />
JUST THINK OF HOW<br />
STRANGE WE MUST<br />
APPEAR TO THEM.
ALTHOUGH THIS IS<br />
AN UNPLANNED INITIAL<br />
EXPOSURE, WE MUST<br />
MAKE THE BEST FIRST<br />

“What would happen if orcs stole a ship <strong>and</strong> were flung into space? I pitched the question to Justin over eight years ago, <strong>and</strong> the idea never left<br />
our heads. Born from a fascination with orcs, who haven't been given much of a spotlight (always the side characters—the dumb henchmen of some<br />
greater, evil force), <strong>and</strong> our love for space voyage shows like Star Trek <strong>and</strong> Farscape, we knew the combination would be exciting.” —Rashad Gheith<br />
"When Rashad told me about <strong>Orcs</strong> in <strong>Space</strong>, I knew right away it was a fantastic idea. Three dumb orcs at the helm of a ship far beyond their<br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing. Going on this journey with them, watching them bumble around with powers way beyond their comprehension. It's going to be<br />
fun to watch them grow <strong>and</strong> learn how to harness sci-fi to their advantage." —Justin Roil<strong>and</strong><br />
"My brother Rashad <strong>and</strong> I used to go to the comic store as kids <strong>and</strong> dream about making them someday. Later, when I met Justin, we both made<br />
trips to get comics <strong>and</strong> talk about how much we loved them. It’s a natural fit for us to be finally making a comic book together! A cosmic adventure<br />
that's peppered with zaniness <strong>and</strong> a bit of fantasy-style lore. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted to make, <strong>and</strong> we have an unlimited budget in François,<br />
who is designing the whole world almost exactly how we imagined it. Get ready for some galactic mayhem!" —Abed Gheith<br />
"Crafting this series has been one of the most fun writing experiences of my career. I can't wait for people to get their h<strong>and</strong>s on this, I know they<br />
are going to love it." —Michael Tanner<br />
“Drawing <strong>Orcs</strong> in <strong>Space</strong> has been a ball. The series brings together so many things I've unabashedly loved all my life, from barbarian warriors to<br />
high-tech spacecraft, <strong>and</strong> blends it all together into a weird <strong>and</strong> funky universe. Drawing this book makes me feel like a kid again! Working with<br />
the wonderful DJ Chavis on colors, each issue I am trying to create something that's full of action, humor, <strong>and</strong> layers of detail. I can't wait for people<br />
to get their h<strong>and</strong>s on this book!" —François Vigneault
