A.V. Pull List: Bug Wars #1 is Game of Thrones meets Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Step into a realm where epic battles unfold on the tiniest of battlegrounds. In Bug Wars #1 superstar writer Jason Aaron (Southern Bastards, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Absolute Superman) teams up with renowned artist Mahmud Asrar (Conan the Barbarian, X-Men, Batman & Robin) to deliver a dark fantasy adventure like no other.
This oversized debut transports us to a kid’s yard, where the ferocity of Game of Thrones collides with the playful spirit of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. In this unique world, everyday insects transform into formidable warriors, and every blade of grass and discarded toy becomes part of a sprawling microcosmic kingdom.
I had an absolute blast with the first issue. One of its most exciting features is a massive map at the end that reveals the grand territory waiting to be explored. It’s a quick glimpse into the vast adventures that lie ahead, and I can’t wait to dive back in and uncover more of this fascinating world.
The second issue releases mid March. Bug Wars #1 is a must-read for anyone who craves a fresh, boundary-pushing adventure. If the idea of shrinking down and embarking on a grand quest in a world that exists on a micro level sparks your imagination, then this is one comic you won’t want to miss. I say check it out.
