Synopsis:
"In the few short years since he began his pamphlet-sized comic book series Lose, Michael DeForge has announced himself as an important new voice in alternative comics. His brash, confident, undulating artwork sent a shockwave through the comics world for its unique, fully formed aesthetic. With his debut Drawn & Quarterly title, Ant Colony, DeForge confirms his place as a mover-and-shaker in the world of graphic novels. From its opening pages, Ant Colony immerses the reader in a world that is darkly existential, with false prophets, unjust wars, and corrupt police officers. Ant Colony 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 humour and sensitivity, exposing a world where spiders can wreak unimaginable amounts of havoc with a single gnash of their jaws. DeForge s striking visual sensibility stark lines, dramatic colour choices, and brilliant use of page and panel space stands out in this volume. "
About the Author: Michael DeForge was born in 1987 and grew up in Ottawa, Ontario. After a few years of experimenting with short strips and zines, he created Lose #1, his first full-length comic, which won Best Emerging Talent at the Doug Wright Awards. He has since published a handful of comic books, which have received industry praise and two Eisner Award nominations. His illustrations have been published in The New York Times and Bloomberg View; his comics have appeared in Believer, Maisonneuve, and the Adventure Time comic book series
