This is without a doubt the most fun I’ve had reading an Ant-Man book since Nick Spencer’s run, and I arguably enjoy even more than Spencer’s Ant-Man.

For starters, the premise is great. Scott Lang is a wonderful dorky underdog, and when you see him trying to win respect from the hero community and his daughter it’s hard not to root for him. Cassie Lang is a great addition and Zub does a great job writing her as a fiery teenager ready to take on the world, without her devolving into an obnoxious and rebellious kid.

The plot itself is pretty creative. Scott and Cassie work with all sorts of insects throughout their adventure and the Pym Particles being a limited resource helps add some stakes to the action. The writing itself is great too, loaded with great jokes and jabs between characters. I loved Scott frantically telling people he wasn’t affiliated with the Nazi-bee man, Cassie trying to get permission to join the West Coast Avengers, and Scott accidentally making Spider-Man jealous.

Good plot, good stakes, and enough laughs and warm-hearted moments to keep me glued to my seat. HIGHLY recommended for Ant-Man fans new and old!
