I’m Not Sure Why the Ant-Man Movie Doesn’t Do More With Its Dad Angle
Ant-Man is a single father, and that’s pretty rare when it comes to these superhero movies. I’m not sure why Marvel aren’t focusing on that a bit more in the marketing.
Possibly because they just want to focus on the action and humor? Does that stand a better chance of getting butts into seats? Maybe! But Cassie Lang looks adorable in this movie.
Happy Father’s Day, too!

More Ant-Man Niftiness!
There’s a new Ant-Man mini-trailer/TV spot hitting the Internet today, to go along with some neat new posters that tie the character to the Avengers. I like the new spot, I like the new posters, so I’ma gonna share’em with y’all!
I hope you’re looking forward to Ant-Man as much as I am. It’s a month away! Or a month and a week. Just too long a time, really.

A Little Bit More Ant-Man
Not a full trailer, but here’s a new Ant-Man TV spot with some new footage. Good times.
Ant-Man comes out on July 17! That’s more than a month away. Why do we have to keep waiting? Why is that how the universe works! Why can’t we experience everything like Dr. Manhattan?

The New Ant-Man Poster is a Little More Exciting!
The last Ant-Man poster was your typical ‘stand up straight while everyone else’s faces float around you’. Solid movie postering, I suppose. But this new one is a bit more action packed!
Don’t get shot!
For a second there, I thought Ant-Man had some kind of tiny floating scooter or something. But then I realized it’s a saddle attached to a giant ant. That’s pretty darn cool…and a little concerning. Did they build the saddle in advance to shrink down with him? Or is it a miniature saddle? Questions, questions…
Ant-Man opens at the end of July! And if you start seeing Ant-Man toys in your local stores, let me know! I’m dying to get my hands on a good action figure or some LEGOs!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/9/15
Oy, I’m sick. I don’t know if it’s Spring Fever or Just a Fever or what, but I’ve come down with that cough and uggish feeling that’s going around. It’s definitely not dance fever, that’s for darn sure. Fortunately, I had a big stack of my favorite comics to keep me company this week.
We got new issues of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Ant-Man and Amazing Spider-Man, as well as the only Convergence title I’m reading: The Question. Not surprisingly, seeing Greg Rucka and Cully Hamner reunite for a Renee Montoya comic wins Comic Book of the Week. I need this comic in my life on a full-time basis.
Like they need another smash in the head
If nothing else, Convergence at least allowed Rucka to return to one of his best characters, so I guess I’m grateful for that. The rest of the series blows, from what I’m reading around the web.
Speaking of the web, you can check out my review of Secret Wars #1 over at Word of the Nerd this week. I’d planned to add it to this article as well, but that sickness hit me like a ton of bricks. Sometimes the world just doesn’t want you to write about comic books.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #18, Ant-Man #5, Convergence: The Question #2, Spider-Woman #7 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #5.
