High Fantasy Returns In ‘The Hunger And The Dusk: Book Two’ #1 From IDW
by Olly MacNamee
Writer G. Willow Wilson and artist Chris Wildgoose’s high fantasy adventure series returns with The Hunger And The Dusk: Book Two, “with the human-orc alliance falling apart and The Last Men Standing in desperate need of a healer, the ruthless Vangol and rogue orc dynasties stoke the flames of war and put everything – and everyone – at risk.”

Wilson had this to say about its return:
“We’re thrilled by the enthusiastic response to BOOK ONE and we can’t wait for readers to find out what happens in the next arc of this journey. There are some epic battles coming, along with what I hope will be some very satisfying reunions between certain characters. The war for survival teaches you who your real friends and allies are, and in THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK our heroes find those friends in unexpected places.” ![]()
Wildgoose added:
“I’m really excited to pull our readers back into our world. I think with BOOK ONE I used the John Hammond line of ‘we’ve spared no expense’ when it came to our set of hot orcs and head chopping. I’d use that line again but with even more confidence.” The artist added, “We’ll be seeing our cast of orcs and men really put to the test as they try to come to grips with the Vangol savagely tearing through the land and their relationships, despite their best efforts. Along with some new characters waiting in the wings I think the readers of BOOK ONE are really going to love it.”
The Hunger and the Dusk: Book Two #1 (of 6) will include the full creative team from BOOK ONE, featuring colours by MSassyK and letters by Simon Bowland, goes on sale 10th July from IDW.
