Ant Colony

From 2014 to present, Michael DeForge's Ant Colony (Drawn & Quarterly) is a surreal, darkly comic series that reimagines the lives of insects as a metaphor for modern society, blending absurdist humor with a distinctly unsettling edge. DeForge serves as both writer and artist, crafting a world of ants, spiders, and other creatures whose petty dramas and existential crises mirror human anxieties. This single-issue work stands out for its bold, minimalist art style and its unflinching, often poignant exploration of community, decay, and the strangeness of existence.
