Feb 05, 2020Dylan Burnett strikes the right tone with the art in this issue. Taking a cue from the lighter tone of the story and its comedic elements, Burnett crafts the art to be fun and exaggerated to emphasize the characters and the mood. Read Full Review

Comics Bookcase - Zack Quaintance
Feb 05, 2020This is an entertaining read from start to finish, using a self-deprecating stream of consciousness narration style that makes Ant-Man relatable as he pokes fun at his Silver Age roots and odd power set. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Jay Hill
Feb 05, 2020Ant-Man #1 proves that good things come in small packages (that are also really big sometimes). There’s family bonding, fistfights, and a lot of fun. This story takes what’s great about the character, does it well, and adds its own quite interesting elements. Scott might be down on his luck, but he’s been known to rise to the occasion. This book not only has promise, but it could also be a defining story for “the guy who talks to bugs”. Read Full Review

GWW - Tad Desai
Feb 05, 2020Overall, World Hive #1 sets its tone immediately with an action-packed opening and keeps consistent humor throughout that makes it an enjoyable read. Weaving in Scott Lang's insecurities about fighting crime with his daughter, cementing his place as a legitimate superhero and whether he can face new villains by himself is a great start for what looks to be a promising series.

Feb 04, 2020Ant-Man #1 is a good start to the series, and one I will continue reading. The story, while just getting started, hit the right notes, and I liked the humor and family vibe throughout. Recommended to any Ant-Man fans out there (movie or comics), but I'm here for Stinger! Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Brett
Feb 04, 2020The comic is a fun one as expected. Ant-Man #1 has enough unique jokes and takes that makes it stand out as well. There's been so many different volumes and a lot of ground covered but this debut also feels unique in a few ways. It's still able to deliver something new to readers. Read Full Review

Geek'd Out - Nico Sprezzatura
Feb 05, 2020Ant-Mans status as a comical character means artists can play with his visual depiction more than the artists of, say, Avengers might have an opportunity to, which makes Dylan Burnetts zany art a perfect match for Wellss script. Its dynamic, cartoony, and accurately reflects the vibe Scott (and Ant-Man) represent. But hes not the only member of the art team putting in some solid, quality work here Mike Spicers colors are vibrant and varied, while letterer Cory Petit really breaks loose with his rendering of sound and dialogue.

Feb 05, 2020If you are on the fence about Ant-Man #1? Go for it! This first issue was entertainment value that you need in your pull-list. What are you going to lose having fun with the one hero who will show you more than most that the little guy shouldn't be overlooked? Read Full Review

Word Of The Nerd - Brent Jackson
Feb 05, 2020The issue is a lot of fun to read. The dialogue is clean and crisp and will have you chuckling throughout the issue. The art is fantastic as well. Burnett's energetic animated style and Spicer's wonderful colors does not disappoint visually. For me, though there is just something missing from Ant-Man #1. Something in the story that really grabs you and gets you invested in Scott Lang's adventure? Read Full Review

Newsarama - David Pepose
Feb 05, 2020While it takes a bit for the team to start firing on all cylinders, there's a lot to appreciate about Ant-Man #1. Even though there's certainly some narrative fat readers have to chew through at first, once the exposition is over, there's a great sense of humor - and even more beautiful artwork - to enjoy. This might not be a book that blows up the sales charts -heck, it might not even be Scott Lang's most standout adventure - but there's definitely enough to warrant checking out a second issue.

'You caught me in the middle of an experiment. Which is me living in an ant hill. For an experiment. I love Scott being a loser, and the story is as goofy as I expect from Ant-Man. Bee-Man.

I loved it and was chuckling a few times at the scenarios Zeb Wells cooked up for Scott Lang! Wells was very good in his ASM issues back in the day and he's just as good here. Burnett's art is fantastic and looked tight and well inked. I love his style a lot and with Spicer's beautiful coloring it was just easy on the eyes for me. I recommend it!

I really enjoyed the first issue of this new Ant-Man miniseries by Wells, Burnett, and Spicer. The issue nails the characterization of Stinger (Stature), and Scott. Now living in an unconventional place, Scott is looking for bigger jobs so that he could make some money and find an apartment. The issue has some solid artwork, and colors are vibrant, really bringing the world to life. The script is comedic and the jokes worked for me. Also, there are some interesting new villains introduced at the end of the issue which could serve as the main villains for the miniseries, I am assuming. All in all, I am looking forward to the next issue. 8.5/10

Prelude: Well, time for another Ant-Man mini-series. Let's see how this one goes. The Good: It's a pretty wacky adventure. I like how Scott and Cass interact. Expanding to other insects is fun. The Bad: Art is a bit off. Conclusion: A good start but one that I need to see more of. It has potential.

Scott Lang is heavy on the loser these days, living in an ant hill and disappointing his daughter. A humble job rescuing bees leads into bigger adventures. Some solid humor and a compelling plot are the highlights. I'm lukewarm on the art; I like it a lot better when folks are helmeted.

This felt like this was trying a teensy tiny bit too hard. Also like... everybody knows worker bees are lady bees! You mean "sisters," bee!

"The warning came from the bee" The issue started fine, but it quickly became a rather "meh" experience. I may give the second issue a shot, but I'm afraid "loser" heroes (as Scott is portrayed here) are not really my thing.

This is not a good book. I love the Ant-Man character and was excited to give this a try, but I really disliked it. The art wasn't good and the story was much too silly for my taste.
