‘Bug Wars: Spyder Wytch Special’ To Focus On Wysta The Wayward Wytch And Spider Sect
by Olly MacNamee
Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar have a solid hit on their hands with Bug Wars, which returns in 2026. And so to keep fans baying for more, they’re serving up a one-shot special — Bug Wars: Spyder Wytch Special. It will “provide fans with additional world building and enrich the Bug Wars lore.”
“This jumbo-sized one-shot will feature stories of the mysterious and deadly Spider Sect, including the adventures of the exiled warrior sorceress, Wysta the Wayward Wytch. Alongside Aaron and Asrar will be contributions from artist Baldemar Rivas.”
Aaron stated:
“The wild ride through the Yard has just begun. There’s so much more about the kingdom of the Mytes that Mahmud and I are excited to explore. The Spyder Wytch Special will feature various stories focused on the mysterious witches of the spider sect. After that, we’ll return to the chronicles of the Slaymaker family with Book Two. In other words, there are a lot more murderous bugs and tiny sword wielding warriors still to come.”
Asrar added:
“Our efforts from the last couple of years swarmed together and presented in one big collection. A wild way to start on our journey with Slade and his family in the world of Bug Wars.”
Bug Wars: Spyder Wytch one-shot will be out in January 2026th with Bug Wars: Book One trade paperback out in comic book shops on Wednesday, October 8th and bookstores on Tuesday, October 21th from Image Comics.
