I never would have believed in Scott Lang, a man who can’t even be considered a superhero, but Marvel has created something special and unique here. Many fans thought of him as nothing more than a lame player, but in all my years of reading I haven’t gone through one that so truly captures the heart and soul of what it means to be an icon in this company. Ant-Man isn’t perfect, isn’t rich and doesn’t have an ideal life. He’s an average loving father who will do everything in his power to do right by his daughter.
#5 wraps up the incredible first arc by Nick Spencer before the release of the upcoming Annual, and I have to say every issue leading up to this one has been perhaps the most heartfelt, humorous and emotional series the House of Ideas has put out in years. This outing is no exception and that makes it special as it represents something that you don’t normally see in local shops, as its story relates to those children who have grown up in broken homes or adult readers who have kids but are no longer married or in a relationship.
Add in the simplistic fluent animation styling of artist Ramon Rosanas and we’re left with an enjoyable ride. Ant-Man is a story about a man trying to provide for his kid even when his ex-wife doesn’t want him in their lives. And through each twist Lang proves himself not as a hero but as a father that will go so far as to pass on a job with Tony Stark to do right by his terrible little drummer. This is a release made for everyone because it captures a small part of what the real world is like. And I really haven’t been this emotionally invested or excited each month for a comic in a long time.
Ant-Man #5 is a wonderful experience and I am honestly sad to see this arc end, it left on such an emotional high for me as a reader. Although the last few pages were predictable, you really felt for Scott because you understood everything he’d been through and the reasons behind why he had to make the choice he made. So to be honest it really touched my heart and no amount of praise is enough for Nick Spencer and Ramon Rosanas.
