Ant-Man: Second-Chance Man by Nick Spencer
2.0
Oh man, I think Paul Rudd has kind of ruined Ant-man for me. At least the Scott Lang version. Like, had Paul Rudd's version of Scott Lang been the star of this graphic novel, I would've loved the crap out of it. But this version of Scott Lang was just making corny dad jokes the whole time, and I just wanted to go watch the movies to erase all memories of comic book Scott Lang.
Also, (and yes, I realize that this is a totally different thing, but it did impact my enjoyment of this thing, so...)Scott Lang was a total dick to Jessica Jones in her comic. Paul Rudd would never be that dickish and mansplainy.
Or maybe they should just let Paul Rudd write the comic or something.
There were still some pretty entertaining bits. I liked the reformed villains Lang eventually hires, they were pretty funny. But overall, not my thing.
To sum up: Paul Rudd as Scott Lang > Scott Lang the character.
