Formic Wars Trilogy

Kireth Sandhu

This graphic novel has a lot going on, but wisely focuses on three main characters, one of which is a direct link to Ender's Game. The art presents a plausible futuristic world where scavengers mine asteroids and explore the frontiers of space, whilst Earth becomes highly commodified and driven by corporations. The incoming aliens create great tension that only increases as they approach Earth, and battle tactics are smart with a few really cool character showcases - and some surprisingly emotional moments, credit to the relationships established by the writing. A definite read if you're into alien invasions/ horror, or an advanced but gritty and realistic sci-fi Earth.
