‘Bug Wars’ #2 Sells Out And Triggers A Second Printing From Image Comics
by Olly MacNamee
You read that right. Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar‘s Bug Wars #2 has sold out completely at the distributor level. And you all know what that means. A second printing and a new cover. Oh, and some words of gratitude from the creators. Starting from Aaron:
“Thank you for embracing these bugs! We’ve been blown away by how many of you have chosen to join us in the wilds of the Yard, among the Spyder Wytches, Beetle Riders and of course the ravenous mosquitoes of the Bludhole. I’m really proud of the reading experience we’re putting together each and every issue, including loads of world-building backmatter, as we continue to explore the fantastical hidden kingdom of the Mytes.”
Asrar added:
“It’s so rewarding to see the colossal love you’ve shown to the minute heroes and monsters of the world we’ve created. You have our everlasting gratitude. We have so much more that we’ll explore and discover in Bug Wars. Can’t wait to share it with you.”
“In Bug Wars #2, Slade is lost in his own backyard, prisoner of tiny bug-riding warriors known as Mytes. And in Swarm City, the most dangerous hive in all the Yard, Slade will have to learn to unleash his newfound powers…or else watch his family die.
Bug Wars follows Slade Slaymaker, a kid from Alabama suddenly lost in a vicious world beyond his imagination, a world of marauding ant armies, spellcasting spider witches, and beetle-riding barbarians. A kingdom of tiny but deadly warriors hidden in his own backyard. The same world that saw his father eaten alive by insects now plunges young Slade into the middle of a brutal Bug War to decide the fate of his family.”
Bug Wars #2, second printing and Bug Wars #3Cover A by Asrar and Matthew Wilson and Bug Wars #3 Cover B by Adam Kubert & Laura Martin will be out on Wednesday, April 23.
