From KEN GARING, the writer/artist of the acclaimed series PLANETOID, comes an all-new ongoing series of wonderfully weird high fantasy! Deep underground, among the floating islands of Altara, the mystical Gogor sleeps. But trouble brews above ground as soldiers of the Domus impose their will across the land. Now, a young student named Armano must awaken Gogor and begin his quest to protect the culture of Altara. This debut issue kicks off with 28 pages of story!
I liked this first issue quite a bit. It's well-paced, easy to follow, and introduces so much in a satisfying story. It reveals a world well worth exploring. Read Full Review
A strong and accessible debut, crafted by an expert comics auteur in Ken Garing. This is a fantasy comic with a clean, simple, and kinetic style that just might remind you of Jack Kirby. Read Full Review
"Gogor" #1 is sequential storytelling at its finest. Don't be fooled by its all-ages charms or overlook its sophisticated presentation. Read Full Review
All in all, it's an enjoyable, all-ages fantasy book that feels like what might happen if you put Tellos, The Warlord, and Bone into a blender. Read Full Review
Gogor is a delightful fantasy with a simple hero drawn into an adventure much larger than he could have imagined. Although the title character appears only briefly, he does look to be an imposing fellow. Read Full Review
GOGOR #1 shows how one develops a new mythology. The issues lays out the traditional hero's journey while injecting intrigue that keeps you from putting it down. Read Full Review
Of course, this is just the first issue of Gogor. From what I can tell, Garing hopes to spin this story into a Fantasy Epic. Having a setting too complex to explain in a single issue is the sort of problem you kind of want to have with Epic stories. While much of its setting and players remain unclear by issue's end, Garing delivers more than enough to keep us reading. We're sure to learn a whole lot more about Altara, Amarno,and the eponymous Gogoras the series continues. Read Full Review

I had a lot of fun with this story. As with all first issues, theres so much we dont know and plenty of teasers about whats to come, and Im really looking forward to seeing where Armanis adventures take us in issue two. Read Full Review
Hopefully, Gogor can fix the issues and improve as a family friendly fantasy story that is needed. By taking the entire comic on, may ultimately cause its demise. Read Full Review
Awesome art and a great story start. I'm excited to see where this story goes!
It's been awhile since Ken Garing published a comic!
This seems to be Garing doing something similar to Bone in tone.
