The first arc of ANT-MAN is a hit. We're seeing Scott Lang step up as a hero and a father, and while he isn't completely redeemed in his own eyes, he's working his way back up the ladder to be a hero. ANT-MAN is a fun, comedic book with a big heart, and that's the biggest appeal to it. I highly recommend checking this book and this series out, especially if there's still a hole in your heart where SUPERIOR FOES used to be. Read Full Review

"Ant-Man" #5 is the conclusion of the first arc from the creative team of Nick Spencer and Ramon Rosanas, and highlights the main themes of the series. Scott Lang has every indication of being a roguish adventurer, but here he is forced to deal with the consequences of having a family while being a superhero. The team have crafted a story that shows how Scott is stretched between two worlds, and he come to the conclusion that if he doesn't choose one of them, both will fall apart. Read Full Review

This title is hilarious. A total spot on depiction of one of Marvel's smallest heroes. Spencer/Rosanas are a perfect pairing to update my favorite Avenger, and I look forward to every issue that follows. I hope you will heed my advice and pick this title up and makre its on your pullist! Read Full Review

Although the new Avengers movie, Age of Ultron recently came out and it was Iron Man who created Ultron (weird), I am so stoked for the Ant-Man movie coming out soon (and not just because I love Paul Rudd). Ant-Man has got his own series and his own movie now! He’s moving up the list and I couldn’t be happier about it. Check out the Ant-Man series. Read Full Review

The comic is definitely still enjoyable, but certain parts of this big conclusion just rubbed me wrong is all. Read Full Review

Issue five might be the least funny of all the issues thus far, but what it lacks in comedy, it more than makes up for with pathos. Lang may think he's D-list or worse, but Ant-Man continues to cast him as a compelling leading man starring in a solo title that understands his value and narrative weight. Read Full Review

Consider it growing pains - Ant-Man is going to be part of Marvel's collective consciousness for at least a little while, thanks to the character's upcoming film. But just like moviegoers are going to be curious how this character is going to stand out amongst the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spencer and Rosanas really need to carve Scott Lang's niche out further. While he's a little bit of a screw-up in the same vein as Spencer's Boomerang was in Superior Foes of Spider-Man, it's not pronounced enough to really make him stand out. There's tons of potential behind Ant-Man, but this issue barely scratches the surface. Read Full Review

An explosive finale to the excellent first arc. Even the though there were fewer jokes in this issue it had a couple of the smartest and funniest jokes if the series so far. Great ending to a great arc.

An awesome end to an awesome Ant-man story. For me this was the best Ant-man story written by Spencer and also a great argument for why he writes Spider-Man right now.

While I am not a big fan of the art or the paneling in this book, the story is just so full of passion and heart that it totally makes up for that, which is something I find in many of Spencer's books. I don't mean the bad art, but the passion and the heart in his stories. He loves putting parts of himself in his stories and you can see that with the fact that usually he uses the same characters or his love for the little guy. He certainly has a specific style of writing and although sometimes he goes overboard with the humor element IMO, I really appreciate that about him.

In this book Spencer manages to define what Scott Lang Ant-man's comics should be like. I must say that was the most enjoyable iteration of him and his world I've seen till this day. He does so much for the character though the whole series, but especially in this issue. The end of this issue is amazing. The narration, the themes, the progression of the character it all comes together to form this great emotional conclusion, that really makes you feel so much for the character. It also shows you in the purest form what kind of man, Scott Lang really is and what he represents. For me that's sign of a great comics. more

Fun book, bummer ending though.
