A NEW SERIES FROM MARK WAID & JAVIER GARRON!
Wasp was just trying to help Ant-Man get home to Earth to see his daughter...but a little problem got in the way. Very little. Subatomic, in fact, as Scott Lang was lost in the vast spaces between atoms! Now, Nadia is his only hope of rescue...if only he would listen long enough for her to save them! From master storyteller Mark Waid (CAPTAIN AMERICA, CHAMPIONS) and Marvel Young Gun artist Javier Garrón (SECRET WARRIORS, STAR-LORD) comes a story of a big journey getting smaller all the time!
Rated T+
Through his time in the Microverse, Scott encounters a species called the Thetacorians, and notices a "micro space vampire" of sorts that is hurting them. With the Wasps help, they are quickly able to help but not with out consequence. Read Full Review
As a long-time fan of thecharacters, I'm glad to see them in the spotlight, even under different guises. Read Full Review
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this first issue. I never got into the Nadia/Wasp stories, but now I know I should double back and read them. Waid and Garron have crafted an excellent first issue due to the strong characters and their dynamic. Read Full Review
Ant-Man and the Wasp #1 is a delightful, fast-moving, and funny comic with two badly underused Marvel characters. The dialogue is solid, the concept is creative and strange, and the pacing keeps things engaging. Plus, Garron and Silva do excellent work on the art aspect of the book. Read Full Review

All-in-all, this is a promising start to potentially one of the best Ant-Man and Wasp team-ups we've ever seen. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a solid start. Despite the one character thing with Scott that I really hope gets resolved, I think its a good #1 issue for this story and for these characters. I could easily see some fans not being sold on what feels like an ultimately inconsequential plot, but Im looking forward to the second issue. This mini feels like it's making the case for smaller, self contained adventures. You know, like the genre was built on. My biggest takeaway is that I came away liking a new character, and for a longtime Marvel fan, thats always a great surprise. If youre someone thats never tried out Pym Particles before and you want to give an Ant-Man story a try, pick up this issue. Read Full Review
Despite some bits of really funny and witty dialogue I couldn't help but feel that the plot and artwork in this book just weren't clicking completely. What I would say is that a strength of the book is the interaction between Scott and Nadia who are a good combination, with Nadia's relative seriousness playing the perfect foil to Scott's wackiness. So, importantly, we have a good fit between the two core characters which leaves me optimistic for next issue. A sound enough opener. Read Full Review
With the duo headlining a movie next month, it's never been a better time for Marvel to launch a series starring Ant-Man and the Wasp, and given his deep knowledge of physics, it's a no-brainer to have someone like Mark Waid behind the wheel. And to that end, Waid and artist Javier Garron deliver the sweet science with Scott Lang and Nadia Van Dyne's latest team-up, even if the high-flying physics comes together a little bit faster than the titular characters.

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP #1 may not be the most dimensional work, but it is without a doubt a hell of a good time. Read Full Review
Fun moments, interesting aliens and a last-page surprise, making for an above-average read. Read Full Review
Waid and Garron completely miss what makes these characters shine. Read Full Review
i love it!
A really solid start to what I hope will be a great miniseries. Scott and Nadia's interactions remind me of the way Matt Fraction wrote the Hawkeyes. I can't wait to see where this goes next, especially with 'that' ending.
Fun book through and through. Waid has the voices down for both and Garron's art has never looked better. Very much enjoyed this one!!
Really good first issue for this mini series by Mark Waid and Javier Garron, I love the interactions between Scott and Nadia, just really fun and the setting of the Microverse just oozes with potential. I like what's set up here in terms of the Thetacorians and the discussion over whether they should interfere in the Microverse and the art really suits this book, Garron draws the Microverse and all of its creatures very nicely. Hopefully it continues to be this good if not better.
Scott Lang cages a lift home from Nadia Van Dyne, and as is his wont, he messes it up. The result is both of them stranded in the Microverse. They find an intriguing (albeit slightly generic sci-fi) mystery down there. Unfortunately, Nadia slots too neatly into orbit around Scott as he slides into the Real Protagonist role. The art also has its limitations. Individual panels are very beautiful, but conveying action - both physical motion and plot progression - is problematic. It's still a fun read and well above average, though.
Utterly boring and uninteresting first issue. Don’t care for Nadia at all. Art is great
Fine, whatever, why are these tiny mouth things wearing suits?
