But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings
Aug 31, 2022Ant-Man #2turns its focus on the Irredeemable Ant-Man, Eric O'Grady resulting in a blast from the past in more ways than one. The ending raises more questions than answers, but it's kept me hooked. And with the next issue set to focus on Scott Lang, this series continues to be one of the more interesting books in Marvel's stable. Read Full Review

Aug 31, 2022I've long been fond of the least-famed Ant-Man, Eric O'Grady, and his (ironically) short run of titles beginning with The Irredeemable Ant-Man. Ant-Man #2 captures the magic of that series brilliantly and in such a fashion that it continues the meta-narrative begun last month in deft fashion. Read Full Review

Sep 05, 2022All in all, this miniseries is all kinds of fun. Al Ewing is a fantastic scribe, Tom Reilly is an artist extraordinaire, Jordie Bellaire is a colorist whiz and Cory Petit brings the dialogue together and I cant wait for more! Read Full Review

Aug 31, 2022Final Thoughts:Ant-Man #2 is everything you despise about the Eric O'Grady era of Ant-Man mythology, and that's a positive. Ewing's writing captures the tone and attitude of Eric O'Grady down to a tee, the plot is amusing, and Reilly's art captures the style of the era close enough to feel authentic with a 16-panel page thrown in for good measure. Oi! You may have unkind feelings about the O'Grady ere, but you can't deny the creators replicated it beautifully. Read Full Review

Aug 31, 2022If you liked the first issue, you'd continue to adore the solid tribute in this series. Ant-Man #2 leans into the scoundrel that is Eric O'Grady's Ant-Man, making for a different hero's journey. Read Full Review

While last issue was a throwback to the 60s comics, this issue is a perfect reconstruction of the Irredeemable Ant-Man run, but... written better. Al Ewing is a better writer than Robert Kirkman. Bold stance, I know. It's really funny. It hits the same sort of notes as Nick Spencer's comedic villain writing can. Super enjoyable.

We're two-for-two with this series as we move from Hank Pym to Eric O'Grady. While the last issue very much fit in with the Silver Age style of comics, this one feels more modern, which is what I would hope for with an Iredeemable Ant-Man story. The art from Reilly very much fits into this 2000's era as well. This era-specific art was seen in Issue 1 as well, where I felt as though his art was giving off a 1960's feel throughout the Hank story. What truly boosts this is how feel Ewing writes everything. He makes Eric an entertaining character to read over the course of this issue while also continuing to build the mystery of who this new Ant-Man is. We're halfway through this shorter miniseries and I'm looking forward to reading Scott Lang' more

It's another fun, beautifully-illustrated chapter pulling another Ant-Man into the still-mysterious big-picture plot. Like #1, this one features plenty of storytelling nods to the bygone era of the original: endless wisecracking, Bendis-ian pop culture comedy, lots of tiny panels, and beat panels galore! And like #1, these talented creators deliver an homage that's also an excellent story in its own right. I'm continuing to love this series.
