We hope you’ll join us at Strange Adventures on Friday,
January 31st at 7pm for the launch of Michael DeForge’s
darkly existential graphic novel Ant Colony!

In just a few short years, DeForge’s idiosyncratic style
has made him a well-regarded new voice in alternative
comics. Michael will present a slideshow with a signing
to follow.

Ant Colony follows the denizens of a black ant colony
under attack from the nearby red ants: from its opening
pages, DeForge immerses the reader in a world of false
prophets, unjust wars, and corrupt police officers. On the
surface, Ant Colony tells the story of this war, the
destruction of a civilization, and the ants’ all-too-familiar
desire to rebuild. Underneath, though, Ant Colony plumbs the
deepest human concerns – loneliness, faith, love, apathy,
and more. DeForge’s striking visual sensibility – stark lines,
dramatic color choices, and brilliant use of page and panel
space – stands out in this volume.
