About the Book

"A perfect choice for fans of intricate worldbuilding, tortured family dynamics, and high-fantasy adventure." —Library Journal

The backyard battlefield heats up and it’s even more brutal and bloodier than before.

Superstar creators JASON AARON & MAHMUD ASRAR return to the savage suburban epic that feeds Honey, I Shrunk the Kids through a war grinder and marinates it in Conan-flavored myth and mayhem. 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. Welcome back to BUG WARS: THE COMING OF THE WARDOOM.
