  From the gripping plot to the elaborate artwork, Orchid is a series that cannot be missed. While there are some moments of inexperience by Morello (mainly plot device placement and pacing) and a lack of lighting detail (a common detraction with Dark Horse titles), this is overall a very fun and very rewarding series. The writing and plot are terrific, the artwork is stellar, and the sheer creativity of the series (from the hybrid creatures to the incredible development of the title character from downtrodden prostitute to icon) makes this a can't miss project. The mind of Tom Morello is one of vast imagination and perspective, and his writing skills (both in his musical career as well as this) are very prominent in this title. While the story may have ended, this is a story that can (and should) be read several times over, just out of sheer entertainment. Read Full Review
