Why would you rate this objectively great comic so low?

Come toAnt-Man #3 for its great depictions of Black Ant and Scott Lang's Ant-Man, but stay for the plot to reveal the ultimate enemy of Ant-Man of the future. Read Full Review
Ant-Man #3 turns its focus on Scott Lang, as Al Ewing and Tom Reilly's astonishing anniversary series draws to a close. I'm looking forward to the final issue, especially since it will reveal more about the future Ant-Man. It also puts a spin on one of my favorite Marvel villains, making him deadlier than ever.

It's a heart-warming tale and one that sets this increasingly ambitious series up for a truly grand finale. Read Full Review
Not as magical a trip back through memory lane as the other issues, but it's still a fun Ant-Man-centric story that leads nicely into next month's finale. Read Full Review
Truly, this miniseries has made me a bigger Ant-Man fan. Al Ewing, Tom Reilly, Jordie Bellaire and Cory Petit are crafting an ant-mazing story that celebrates a founding Avenger and the legacy that he left behind, for worse and for far better! With amazing art, storytelling, color and lettering, this is one of the best books Marvel is currently publishing! Read Full Review
Ant-Man #3 unveils the world-ending threat serious enough to force future Ant-Man to pull resources from across time to stop it. The character interactions are fun, and the overall art is excellent, but the plot tries to do a little too much, making the issue feel rushed. Complete but rushed. Read Full Review
This book is everything the superhero genre should be.
Al Ewing kills it. This miniseries is so excellent, and more people need to be reading it. Ewing clearly understands these characters and is having a lot of fun playing with them.
Almost everything coming from Ewing right now is fire. He pays attention to continuity and uses it just at the right dosage to give his stories weight. Tom Reilly delivers remarkable looking classic yet fresh art and Jordie Bellaire makes it all shine with great coloring!
I wasn't quite as into this issue as I was the previous two, but it's still a really good book. Ewing has done a fantastic job of giving the three different "Ant-Men" their own unique voices so far and that's evident here as well. Before we get into the set-up for Issue 4, we get a pretty fun adventure with Scott and Cassie going against Black Ant. As for Reilly's art, he once again has a change in his style in this series. This time around, things look modern, in that it looks like something he would do in a current comic book. Of course, this fits with the majority of this issue taking place in the present. Over the course of this series, I feel as though Reilly has altered his art in order to fit with the time period, which is something more
I love this to pieces, but not so much as to overlook the fact that the rest of the issue isn't as good as the Black Ant fight scene, my favorite part. There's an awful lot of exposition to chew through before that. The art's fantastic, but I think perhaps the previous issues were even more visually impressive.
I'll rate it as next door to great.
