Ant-Man #2 Review

Writer: Nick Spencer/ Artist: Ramon Rosanas / Publisher: Marvel Nick Spencer is taking a spin on Scott Lang’s Ant-Man that is truly comedic gold and elevates the “Everyman” protagonist trope. I find myself straight laughing out loud at the panels and having to go back to prior pages just to hit that scene again. The reader is seeing Scott Lang go through the hard fucking times man. Divorce, parenting, money troubles. This is the side of the superhero community I love to see represented. This is a hard fucking gig man and Spencer is show casing that with Lang’s life currently but there are still moments of fun. This issue we got Scott Lang negotiating a business proposal with the bank to start his own security agency. The board is not hearing him at all tho as they just came in person to tell him he is getting hit the denied of all denied(s). It isn’t until Mrs. Morgenstern appears and gives the dude a chance to shine veto;ing the other 1% fuck boys on the board.

Scott leads with the “who better to protect your stuff than a guy who know how to take it?” pitch he’s been so fond of and demonstrates by blacking out the security measures on the bank. He is able to take out the lights and unlock vaults showing how vulnerable they are. Mrs. Morgenstern then proceeds to say, “Fuuuuuuuuuuck, yeah about that…” because apparently the wealth of this bank was rooted in Nazi gold and there also happens to be a Nazi robot that was being held in a vault and this black out was just what it…
