His brash, confident, undulating artwork sent a shock wave through the comics world for its unique, fully formed aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003eFrom its opening pages, \u003ci\u003eAnt Colony\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eAnt Colony \u003c\/i\u003eplumbs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael DeForge\u003c\/b\u003e draws comics and posters in Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46959903244449,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781770461376","price":21.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781770461376.jpg?v=1788336336","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/ant-colony-hardcover-by-michael-deforge","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
