This book was odd for me. I'd heard Scott was back from the dead; I'd also heard his daughter (who'd joined the Young Avengers as Stature) had died. Thus, seeing them both here (Cassie now younger &seemingly without any powers or memories of same) was distracting for a bit.

Still, very fun character driven stories and fun reads. Guess my main complaint is that this book turns Scott Lang into less of a hero & more a joke ala Booster Gold & Blue Beetle in the 90s JLI. ( )

If you like a little humor with your superheroes, Ant-Man is the comic book for you. [a:Nick Spencer|255466|Nick Spencer|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1341368514p2/255466.jpg] killed it on [b:The Superior Foes of Spider-Man|18359975|The Superior Foes of Spider-Man, Vol. 1 Getting the Band Back Together|Nick Spencer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1415141350s/18359975.jpg|25959456] and the spirit of that (sadly) canceled series lives on here! In fact, it's actually kind of fitting, since Scott Lang (Ant-Man) used to be a criminal himself and doesn't have problems working with other reformed criminals.

The story here takes a lot of unexpected turns, which adds a lot of originality to a genre that can at times feel stale. In that way, I think that Spencer, like [a:Matt Fraction|61382|Matt Fraction|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1252292636p2/61382.jpg], are really doing a lot to reinvigorate superhero comics.

Of course, a lot of the humor would be lost without the great artwork by Ramon Rosanos. There's something about the facial expressions and body positions he draws that really enhances the storytelling. A lot of the cleverness in the writing could easily be lost without Rosanos on-board.

A fun book all around! ( )
