The Backyard Peace is Over in ‘Bug Wars: The Coming of the Wardoom’
After teasing the series’ return last August, Image Comics announced Bug Wars: The Coming of the Wardoom from writer Jason Aaron and artist Mahmud Asrar. Readers looking to catch up can grab the Bug Wars Book One: Lost in the Yard trade paperback. Here’s the synopsis for the new arc:
Six months after the Yard ran red with insect blood, uneasy peace is shattered as ancient enemies rise from the Woods, corporate extermination forces close in, and Slade Slaymaker is dragged back into a brutal world where roach knights ride, squirrel armies gather, and survival means choosing your side in a war no human was meant to fight.

"Your favorite man-eating bug comic is back for another adventure, one that's even bigger than before, with new heroes, new villains, new bugs and new exotic locales in the Slaymaker family's backyard," said Aaron. "I'm so grateful y'all have made this series such a success, because I seriously think there's enough story here and enough of a fantastical world to explore that I could write Bug Wars until I'm worm food. May we all live to see the dew."
"So excited to be back for more Bug Wars and this time there'll be more than bug juice spilt," said Asrar. "Hope you join us for the madness."
Bug Wars: The Coming of the Wardoom #1 is on sale August 19th with a main cover by Asrar and Matthew Wilson, variants by Christian Ward, Nicoletta Baldari, and Juan Ferreyra, and a NSFW variant by Babs Tarr.
