Ant Colony by Michael DeForge
My rating: 3/5 cats
i don’t know why i didn’t love this book. i should have—it’s about ants and war and the despair of the overlooked:
and conquest:
and the big questions; the things that divide us, the impossibility of communication
but also gruesome horrible death
and these kind of richard scarry-gone-bad overview shots like rarrrrrrrrr
and pretty endpapers:
which are all good things!
but then there are these other things that just kind of grossed me out. yes, i KNOW i read monsterporn and i should be totally immune to this kind of shit, but i still think this is gross:
gross.
and i didn’t really respond to the artwork the way i thought i would. still—i enjoyed many of the individual story-threads that make up this book as a whole, and even though i think it ended a little abruptly, what do i know?? NOTHING!! I KNOW NOTHING!!!
if you like ant-on-ant action, whether it be humping or warfare, maybe this is the book for you!
and enjoy the giant ant-vagina, you freak!!!
