Rated T+
Wasp has been an enjoyable read throughout its previous three issues, and this fourth and final one is no different. Wasp #4 has strong character moments mixed with engaging action sequences, and it perfectly wraps up what is now essential reading for any fan, or someone looking to become a fan, of the Wasp.

Everything wraps up very nicely, tying off the story after only four issues. The characters are treated well, they all get moments to shine and there really is a strong focus on all things Wasp. Read Full Review
Al Ewing, Kasia Nie, and Carola Borelli deliver a satisfying conclusion with Wasp #4. We get a lot of solid character work for both Janet and Nadia Van Dyne that makes them stronger characters coming out of this story. The ending tease doesn't work as well as intended but it does not ruin the overall experience of this Wasp mini-series. Read Full Review
It's a blunt approach to an ending that doesn't lose the charm of Wasp, but makes for the least impressive installment of the miniseries. Read Full Review
Solid read
It's a satisfying ending and it's illustrated well. The dialogue sounds solid. The content's pretty sappy and in the hands of lesser creators, this might have veered way too saccharine. But it comes out just sweet enough.
A small strategic point: I appreciate that this series is only four issues, even though that seems to be an inconvenient size for trade-ification. Four issues was the right length for this.
This was a pretty solid finale to this miniseries that told a very different story than Ewing's previous Ant-Man miniseries. While I do think the two miniseries featured different stories, I do also believe that they share a similar sentiment and intent, in that they were created to honor the legacies of the characters they were about. In both cases, it was the 60th Anniversary of the character. Here, Ewing and Nie put together a more straightforward story that does a nice job of depicting the relationship between Janet and Nadia while also advancing their story. On top of everything, I must say that Nie's art is just great. All in all, this was a nice miniseries to honor the Wasp and I'm looking forward to seeing what she does next.
This series wasn't as good as the Ant-Man series, but it was Ewing so it wasn't bad or anything.
