Psychedelically gorgeous, uncomfortably funny.\"-Sean Rogers, Globe \u0026amp; Mail Best Books of 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe debut graphic novel from a dazzling newcomer with a singular, idiosyncratic style\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the few short years since he began his pamphlet-size comic book series Lose, Michael DeForge has announced himself as an important new voice in alternative comics. His brash, confident, undulating artwork sent a shock wave through the comics world for its unique, fully formed aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003eFrom its opening pages, Ant Colony immerses the reader in a world that is darkly existential, with false prophets, unjust wars, and corrupt police officers, as it follows the denizens of a black ant colony under attack from the nearby red ants. On the surface, it's 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. All of this is done with humor and sensitivity, exposing a world where spiders can wreak unimaginable amounts of havoc with a single gnash of their jaws.\u003cbr\u003eDeForge's striking visual sensibility-stark lines, dramatic color choices, and brilliant use of page and panel space-stands out in this volume.","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47500027789537,"sku":null,"price":1732.5,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/9033\/0593\/files\/9657543482818.jpg?v=1763760787","url":"https:\/\/perfectbookhouse.com\/products\/ant-colony","provider":"PERFECT BOOK HOUSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
