First Look: Small Hero Gets A Big Spotlight In Ant-Man #1

By Nick Tylwalk | Dec 6, 2014

Marvel doesn’t have too many legacy heroes. Even though some iconic characters like Captain America and Iron Man have been replaced for a time, the originals always seem to find a way back to the roles they made famous. But Ant-Man might be different, as Scott Lang, the second man to adopt that mantle, is getting his own movie and his own new ongoing comic series.

Seen most recently helping out the Fantastic Four, Lang is going to get a call from the man who gave him his first breaks in the hero biz. Except that Tony Stark is a little different now that he’s the Superior Iron Man, so any offer he makes might be too good to be true. In fact, given some of Scott’s rotten luck in the past, you can almost be sure that even with a new city and a new outlook, something is going to go wrong sooner or later. Probably sooner.

Writer Nick Spencer and artist Ramon Rosanas are getting ready to show us exactly what that might be in Ant-Man #1, which goes on sale in January. Knowing we don’t like waiting, Marvel has released a few interior pages and a slew of variant covers to look for, including some by Chris Samnee, Jason Pearson, Skottie Young and the “Shrinking Variant” by Ed McGuinness. Check them out and be ready for Lang to carve out his own legacy in 2015.
