The dreaded Orks, monstrous green skinned goliaths of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, take center stage in this collection of the four issue mini-series from Warhammer 40,000 novelist Dan Abnett, and multiple Eisner Award nominee, Ian Edginton! The Orks are the most warlike race in the blood-soaked galaxy of the 41st millennium - cruel, crude and brutally barbaric - their unflinching passion for violence is so unquenchable, Ork clans spend as much time warring with each other as they do their enemies! Yet, once in a generation, a leader will emerge, mighty enough to lay waste to his rivals and unite the clans, unleashing armies millions strong upon mankind! Destiny beckons, and it is from the ranks of the Blood Axe clan that the call will be answered... This collection includes Warhammer 40,000 comics previously released as special edition promotional comics; Death from Above, The Visitors and Mettle.
