Orc Girl, by Paul Allor & Thomas Boatwright

I picked up Orc Girl for a few reasons: it’s a black and white, independent comic written by Paul Allor and priced at $3 for the print or $1 for the PDF! I love black and white comics and grew up on the Mirage Turtles (really? news to me!). I just finished reading Punk Rock Jesus (and loved it) and I was looking for something else to read. I had heard a lot of good things about Orc Girl and decided to give it a shot. Man, did it over deliver!

Interview with Paul Allor, Writer of TMNT Fugitoid Micro-Series

IDW Publishing’s new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ongoing series has been firing on all cylinders and is a must read for any Turtles fan. Tom Waltz and Kevin Eastman are doing a great job of drawing from every Turtles universe to develop a rich, new timeline. One of the tools that IDW has used rather nicely is the Micro-Series (guest one-shots). Instead of telling a unique story that has nothing to do with the ongoing, they have used their guest one-shots to build on, and expand, the current Turtles universe. I recently had the opportunity to ask Paul Allor (Twitter @PaulAllor), who wrote the Fugitoid Micro-Series issue, some questions about his experience.
