I am sure that with this comic we are getting details about things that in the movie will be briefly discussed, but I think in this case the plot felt bland and very generic and will hardly contribute to make a difference in your experience watching the movie.I hope the movie proves me wrong, but I don't think this paperback is worth your money.

I really like the preludes tying into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they do vary in quality but it's the extras you get that make them worthwhile. The preludes themselves are high quality and bridge not only the film but maybe season 2 of Agent Carter. Scott Lang's prelude gives us an insight into his character and I can't wait to see him realized on the screen. As previously mentioned the extras make these volume, they give you a sense of the history of the character and at times glimpses of t...

Movie tie in attempt to sell books.That being said, if you ignore the Michael Douglas Hank Pym Cold War Ant Man stuff, you get Scott Lang's first appearances in Marvel Spotlight, as well as him becoming Ant-Man, and getting Hank (Yellowjacket) Pym's blessing.Best part? The issue one of Nick Spenser Ant Man title, which is funny and bang on, highlighting Scott's best quality...father.

So, a comic book prelude to Marvel's upcoming Ant-Man film. It feels a little odd reading this before the release of the film, being the sort of thing you might normally read to expand a film. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this. Set in the early days of Marvel's Cinematic Universe, this sees scientist Hank Pym as a contemporary of Howard Stark and Agent Carter. Using the Ant-Man technology Hank is sent on a mission to infiltrate Hydra in Berlin. Cue awesome Ant-Man stuff. It's a short story but

Nice companion piece of sorts to the 2015 film, throwing some spotlight on an oft-forgotten - these days, at least - founding Avenger. (I guess when your cohorts are Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor that it's easy to get lost in the shuffle.) It could also be titled 'The Reluctant Superhero' with little loss of accuracy.

Not bad, a more competent attempt at a prelude comic, but it does leave something to be desired. Hank Pym looks nothing like Michael Douglas, and the comic doesn't explicitly state when it takes place, but based on how Peggy Carter looked, it looked like it took place sometime before the movie's opening prologue. The idea of the story was great, and I liked how HYDRA's mind wiping technology was introduced, but I feel like this wouldn't have been a new thing for HYRDA to use, because we know The...

old Peggy.I liked this series so much.

Para empezar puede ser necesario aclarar que siempre tuve un rechazo por Ant-man debido a mi odio y miedo a las hormigas, sin embargo terminé encariñádome mucho con el personaje.En esta precuela nos muestran lo que sucedió antes con Scott, vemos a Hank Pym, Peggy Carter. Me gustó pero no es absolutamente necesario leerlo, simplemente información complementaria a la historia del universo cinematográfico. Peeero si quieren darle una oportunidad para conocer más el origen de los personajes, la verd...

Read the 2 issue prelude released in February and March. I don't like this as much as the new Ant-Man series currently being issued, but I'll still check out the movie, because I really respect the director.

I really liked this anthology of Ant-Man stories until the last one where we got the ever typical "shrew ex-wife taking his kid away" storyline. Aside from that, it was a good Ant-Man refresher for folks who aren't terribly familiar with lovable loser version of the character.

This is fun collection of Ant-Man stories published prior to the release of the movie. The actual prelude story is okay, and introduces the current version of Ant-Man as he was seen in the MCU. I could have done without an Age of Ultron tie-in that's included, but enjoyed seeing the introduction of Scott Lang from 1979. (The cover features a .35-cent price tag, and the title page leads off with "Stan Lee Presents"!) It seemed to me that the way Byrne and Layton drew Scott in his first appearance...

Part of MCU marathon

I went to a local bookstore and found this Trade paperbook of Ant-man. Instead of paying $20 or little less, I sat down and read the the book inside the store in about 2 hours or less. It was a very entertaining Trade paperback and a great way to save money and learn and educate yourself if you have couple hours of free time to read and relax. Ant-man is a rewarding story to read since it preludes the movie which is interesting. A great read, but to buy I do not think so. I have become An Ant-Ma...

Ew.

Ant-Man is one of those "unsung" superheroes of the Marvel Universe (I still have yet to see the movie & I'll admit he wasn't a character on my comic book radar other than his role in the Avengers) so I found this collection pleasantly refreshing and fun as we get book Dr. Hank Pym and Scott Lang's origins and turns in the costume. I found Scott Lang to be the character I rooted for the most as he was the underdog, the ex-con turned superhero and an everyman character trying to be there for his

As many, when I first heard of the Ant-Man, I thought how can I take this tiny superhero seriously? However, the first story in the collection, which takes place in Cold War era Berlin, adeptly points to the advantages of smallness for covert activities. I also enjoyed the pop culture references and humor in the last story in this volume. Lastly, it was interesting to see the contrasts in the stories and art between the late 1970's/early 1980's and in the 2010's

My rating is partially based on the fact that I don't have any strong feelings about Ant-Man. The Ant-Man prelude gives you a lot of Ant-Man's comic-based backstory, but there isn't enough exposure to Pym to make me care about him. And then the movie revolves around an entirely new Ant-Man, so there isn't really any connection to Scott either. (There are a few segments featuring Scott, but not enough to really get me excited about the movie)The story lines are good and the art is standard early

This story adds a lot to understanding MCU Hank, but oh...oh that art is awful. Some of it is the overly shiney shading on pretty much everything, but there's other things like Peggy's "feet" and pretty much everyone's faces that makes this the ugliest prelude yet.

This is definitely a great prelude to the Marvel Ant-Man movie. The stories are quite nice and give a little more information about the Scott Lang version of the character. I found them to be so interesting that it was hard to put this book down once I began reading it. Whether you are a fan of the movie, are about to watch the movie, or just want an introduction to the Scott Lang Antman version of the character, I can highly recommend this book. It's a pleasant read.

What's sure to be a silly but fun big budget movie doesn't need any introduction, right? Well, I thought it did. I'm sure one will find it easy to enjoy the movie without doing any background reading, but Ant-Man's reputation doesn't exactly precede him, and he's been around in comics for 53 years, with four different characters donning the Ant-Man suit. So, I'm glad to do a little prep, and as its title suggests, this volume was good for that. The entries here span from 1979 to 2015, and appear...
