Erik Larsen's Ant Is Finally Coming
Ant, a long-awaited Image Comics series from
Savage Dragon creator Erik Larsen, is finally going to be a reality in 2021, Larsen shared on social media. The series originated as a kind of meta-superhero narrative, centering on 8-year-old Hannah Washington, whose father goes to prison, and who finds consolation in stories she wrote, featuring her adult self as a superhero called Ant. Wearing a head-to-tie red bodysuit that shines like an exoskeleton and has antennae, Ant fights crime, first to clear her father's name and later more generally as a traditional superheroine. That first, "meta" volume was published by Arcana, but creator Mario Gully brought Ant to Image for a second volume in 2005.
