‘Bug Wars’ Returns With ‘Bug Wars: The Coming Of The Wardoom’ This August From Image Comics

by Olly MacNamee

Creators Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar are back with Bug Wars and a new series, Bug Wars: The Coming of The Wardoom. Well, the next chapter, but it does give them another chance at that all-important debut issue, coming out this August from Image Comics. This new, eight-issue story arc continues the “savage suburban epic” compared to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in scale, and Conan the Barbarian in tone and storytelling.

Now, here’s a first look and the series’ synopsis:

“Six months after the Yard ran red with insect blood, uneasy peace is shattered as ancient enemies rise from the Woods, corporate extermination forces close in, and Slade Slaymaker is dragged back into a brutal world where roach knights ride, squirrel armies gather, and survival means choosing your side in a war no human was meant to fight.”

Aaron states:

“Your favorite man-eating bug comic is back for another adventure, one that’s even bigger than before, with new heroes, new villains, new bugs and new exotic locales in the Slaymaker family’s backyard. I’m so grateful y’all have made this series such a success, because I seriously think there’s enough story here and enough of a fantastical world to explore that I could write Bug Wars until I’m worm food. May we all live to see the dew.”
