Yep! We’re Getting That Ant-Man Comic!
There have been a ton of announcements out of New York Comic-Con this weekend, and I’ve only been posting a few due to things like laziness and weekend. But I definitely wanted to mention the official announcement of the new Ant-Man series to line up with the upcoming film. The comic will star Scott Lang, and will be written and drawn by Nick Spencer and Ramon Rosanas. I loved Spencer’s Superior Foes of Spider-Man, so here’s hoping for some great Ant-Man action!
I love the new costume design. Seriously, Ant-Man has some of my favorite superhero costumes of all time (and he also has some real stinkers). It sounds like the series is just going to be Scott Lang doing normal, superhero things. Here’s hoping Spencer can find the same magic that made Hawkeye such an amazing comic.
Of the series, Spencer said:
“I’m just so excited to be doing this book,” Spencer said, saying this had been on his radar since the summer of 2013. Featuring Scott Lang, “Scott is a character I really connect with,” he said. “Scott wants to be a hero and he wants to be a good guy, but he’s got a checkered past, he has a tendency to take shortcuts and get in his own way… all these marks of a great Marvel character.”
Sounds like a pretty solid basis for an Ant-Man series to me! I hope they keep love interest Darla Deering around from the pages of Matt Fraction’s FF!

I’m excited, I have only been reading comics for about 5 years now and I’m not sure there were any Scott Lang/Antman comics during that time. Or at least none I was awear of at the time. So I’m looking forward to being introduced to his character. And by the guy that made Hawkeye relevant to me again too
Nope, Scott Lang has mostly stuck to the fringes in that time. He was killed off back at the start of the 00s, and was only brought back to life two or three years ago.
Nick Spencer writing this makes me excited, but I’ve never found Ant-Man all that interesting. Who knows, I thought the same thing about Hawkeye, and look how that turned out.
Exactly! I never cared about Hawkeye, but I picked up his series on a whim and it quickly became one of my all-time favorites.
