Ant-Man: Second-Chance Man by Nick Spencer
3.0
Read for the Excelsior Award.
I really wish stories like this didn't always involved kidnapped female family members....
This started off well. The first couple of issues have a similar dead-pan, every-man charm to Matt Fraction's Hawkeye and Nick Spencer's own Superior Foes of Spiderman. I just wish it could stick to the every day stuff (petty criminal Ant Man trying to hold down a job is funny!) rather than Scott having to learn some kind of ~lesson~ about not being a dead-beat or whatever.
Hey ho, these are superhero comics, and there are some plot beats that you just can't get rid of. I think this will be popular with the pupils nevertheless.
