Asrar commented on the success so far:
“It is a delight to see the interest in our little book. We feel rewarded for our efforts and we’re only beginning! Eager to share further adventures in the Bug Wars world with you.”
Aaron added:
“Bug Wars is a fantasy saga years in the making, set in a world that Mahmud and I hope to continue to explore for many years to come. Thank you to the growing swarm of Bug Warriors out there for continuing to push this series to sell-out status. The war for the Yard for only begun.”

Here’s the series’ lowdown to catch you up:
“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 #1, third printing and Bug Wars #3, second printing will both be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 28th, from Image Comics, with Bug Wars #2, second printing out now.
