Bug Wars #2

The cover of Bug Wars #2 says plenty on its own: a young man in a t-shirt, hands bound with rope and a glowing green symbol on his chest, kneels at the center while two women — one red-skinned and armored, one grey-hooded and similarly restrained — flank him, all three overshadowed by a pair of imposing green-skinned brutes wielding heavy weapons. Mahmud Asrar's linework crackles with tension, and Matthew Wilson's amber-and-shadow palette gives the whole scene a grim, gladiatorial weight. Jason Aaron's chapter title "Ain't No God in Swarm City" hints at a world where power is hard-won, making this 2025 Image series one to watch.
