A spotlight series for one of Marvel's most unlikable but long-lasting characters is a tough sale. The creative team not only succeeds but knocks it out of the park. This one promises to be a delight. Read Full Review
Together these creators are crafting a new Ant-Man tale that not only reflects the character's long history, but the history of Marvel Comics in a story already bound to astonish readers new and old. Read Full Review
Ant-man #1 is a pleasant surprise to kick off a 60th Anniversary celebration for the incredible shrinking hero. This first issue recreates the look, style, tone, plot, and dialog of a near-perfect Silver Age-style adventure. If you're in the mood for some nostalgic fun, look no further. Read Full Review
Ant-Man #1 is a fun romp through an earlier era in comics when moxie was everything, and the adventure of it all was the destination. It honors and celebrates the past while ever so slightly building towards something to look forward to in a trippy new miniseries. Read Full Review
Ant-Man #1 is a great start to a story that celebrates the astonishing Avenger's 60th anniversary, touching upon everyone who's ever held the mantle. Whether you've only seen the Ant-Man movies or have read every one of his appearances, this is a comic I definitely recommend to everyone. Read Full Review
Overall, this was an astonishing book to open on with this new miniseries. With the sheer amount of love that Ant-Man has received since Scotts movie debut, maybe this book will be successful enough to launch a new set of Ant-based series in the future. Al Ewing, Tom Reilly, Jordie Bellaire and Cory Petit all seem to be having fun with this book and were glad to be along for the ride! Read Full Review
Ant-Man #1 is a fun story that kicks off the mini-series in an interesting way. It looks like future issues will be taking jaunts into Ant-Mans past also, so maybe well get an Ant-Man story that looks like it was drawn by George Perez or Gene Colan. I also look forward to learning more about this mysterious scientist from the future and what his intentions REALLY are. Read Full Review
Time travel is a classic trope in superhero fiction; some would even call it a lazy crutch nowadays. So with this series employing it as its main plot thrust, it all comes down to the approach and the level of care put into various details that make it worth the price of admission. Read Full Review
This throwback issue is the perfect idea for an anniversary celebration. The look, feel and tone are all pure Silver Age and it's a fun visit. Read Full Review
I would recommend this one if you are a fan of the character and want to see him in a story of his own for the 60th anniversary of the character. Read Full Review
Ewing can do no wrong
The best hero comics to read are the ones made by people who value the legacy of these characters, and Ewing clearly reveres them.
Takes you back to a different era! Great job! Reilly and Bellaire are awesome with that classic looking art!
Al Ewing doing Grant Morrison with one hand and Stan Lee with the other is all I really ask for in this world
I wish comics were still like this. Fun.
