For an all reprint book, this was actually not bad. It did help that there was a through story. And one main villain, The Taskmaster. And oddly enough the Taskmaster's motivation was pretty clear and made a certain amount of sense. And of course I was already familiar with the elder Cassie Lang so seeing her as a 9 year old was actually kind of cute. Sure the colors were garish and the writing not all that great. But it was far from awful and I kind of expected awful. 3.5 of 5.

The early collected tales of Scott Lang, Ant-Man from the 70's and 80's. Fine Bronze Age work, one of which predicted an Internet debate regarding a potential end to the Marvel movies Thanos sequence:
Comics!
"No way, buster! You ain't gettin' nothin' outa me!"
"Oh? Tell me, Ant-Man, what would happen if you were to shrink down, crawl up someone's nose, and then enlarge to full size?"
"Gee, Spidey, I don't know, but I guess I could find out..."
"Okay, first you head south on River Drive, then you hang a left at--"
Comics!

This was a nice history of Ant Man (when Scott Lang was Ant Man).
It was an omnibus - most of the stories had Ant Man as a side character.
The original comics were from Iron Man, Avengers, Team Up etc.
So yeah, Ant Man is a little silly as far as super heroes go but this is from the time in comics that I love (some Silver but mostly Bronze Age).
Great Art
Really good stories.
Average characters (it is Ant Man after all)

Graphic Novel Book Club Book -
This was a primer on the original Ant-Man. It had some good pieces drawn from all across his history, even if it was obvious in being dated several times (because the books try to stay hip and with the times, no matter what time it is). I liked seeing the 1-2 page pulls outs from other books like Iron Man or Hulk, too.
It wasn't the best writing, but it was nice to take a walk through the history before I went with another group to see the movie.
