from the press release:<\/p>\n

‘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.<\/p>\n

On the surface, ‘ANT COLONY’ tells the story of this war, the destruction of a civilization, and the ants’ all-too-familiar desire to re-build. Underneath, though, ‘ANT COLONY’, plumbs the deepest human concerns – loneliness, faith, love, apathy, and more.<\/p>\n

DeForge’s striking visual sensibility – stark lines, dramatic color choices<\/strong>, and brilliant use of page and panel space – stands out in this volume.<\/p>\n

yep, I think MICHAEL DeFORGE, and LOREN MUNK . . have some similar painterly . . characteristics !!<\/p>\n

they both want to say . . . something !! <\/em><\/p>\n

and, they both<\/strong> make great use of ‘diagrams’, informational graphics, and BOLD, BOLD COLOR !! <\/p>\n

there is a great . . VISUAL RHYTHM to both their works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
