An Inside Look at Tom Morello's 'Orchid' Orchid is an epic fantasy story set in a dystopian future infused with Morello’s worldview and the politics of terror. Part Suicide Girl, part Joan of Arc - Orchid is the tale of a 16-year-old street prostitute who learns that she is more than the role society has imposed upon her. When the seas rose, genetic codes were smashed. Human settlements are now ringed by a dense wilderness from which ferocious new animal species prey on the helpless. The high ground belongs to the rich and powerful that overlook swampland shantytowns from their fortress-like cities. Iron-fisted rule ensures order and allows the wealthy to harvest the poor as slaves. Never really been into graphic novels. This looks interesting though.
