Bug Wars #1 might have a world that's small in scale, but it's bursting with potential thanks to its creative team. Aaron and Asrar deliver a comic that's bloody, epic, and grabs the reader from the first page and probably won't let go until the final page of the final issue. Yeah. It's that good.

Bug Wars #1 is a great kickoff issue and really immerses you in the world right away. Jason Aaron does an awesome job of building the world that we are in. He also does an awesome job of introducing us to the family and getting to know them, well also keeping some things back to build intrigue. The introduction to some of the bug factions also works out and helps shape where we may be going as this series progresses. Read Full Review

Asrar delivers beautifully detailed and insanely brutal art throughout the issue. I love the character designs and the visual style of the issue. Read Full Review

Its a nice opening with a lot of potential. The dichotomy between the two worlds is firmly established in the opening issue of a promising mini-series. Hopefully Aaron and Asrar can build momentum. This is kind of a tricky bit of narrative timing to negotiate. Theres a hell of a lot of action bursting through the first issue. A slowdown in action is inevitable in the second issue. Whether or not Bug War will live up to its potential will likely be decided by how Aaron and Asrar handle that slowdown. Read Full Review

Bug Wars is a cool concept with epic art that is executed well and leaves plenty of mysteries on the table for future issues. Read Full Review

The virtue of fantasy epics is that they can take place in any world that can be imagined. Bugs in someones front yard are just as good as any other world. Rooting this fantasy world in the real world with real world characters adds dimension to the story and builds extra investment for following issues. Bug Wars #1s unique world is certain to draw in fantasy lovers. Read Full Review

Solid start. I’d rather have spent more time in the first issue with the family/MC instead of the long intro to the bugs, although the art is fantastic. Also, I’m not letting it affect my rating(yet.) but the bug pun insults are a lot haha.

good job Jason Aaron. I am happy you found your groove. The art isn't too bad

A pretty solid start. My only gripe is it felt a little formulaic.

I didn’t expect to like this so much. I’m usually not a fan of Asrar‘s art, but what he‘s doing with the bugs and ants here is pure genius. The scenes with the family look more like his usual stuff. Solid, but I wouldn’t read it if the whole book looked like this.

The story, although clichéd and seen in different variations a few hundred times in The Narnia Chronicles, Alice in Wonderland or Honey, I shrunk the Kids, is enchanting and well written.

I guess I’ll be back for issue 2. Let’s hope for more bugs than everyday stuff.
