Ant #5

Mario Gully's cover for this 2006 Image series delivers a striking image of Ant crouching in a defensive stance, her red insectoid armor crawling with actual ants against a deep blue background swarming with thousands more. The sheer density of the ant horde surrounding her creates an unsettling sense of both power and vulnerability — these creatures are simultaneously her namesake and a potential threat. "Moving On [Part One]" promises a new chapter for the character, and this fifth issue shows Gully's bold, kinetic linework at full intensity.
