ANT-MAN #1

It's been a little over 24hrs since the Ant-Man movie trailer debuted nationwide. After seeing the flood of links for it on your Facebook or Twitter feed, you may be asking yourself ,"Who is Ant-Man?" Although it seems everyone is excited over this upcoming film, there's a few people that have donned the Ant-Man costume. Hank Pym was the original Ant-Man and a founding member of the Avengers, but the one featured in the upcoming film is Scott Lang, who will be portrayed by Paul Rudd. Scott Lang was once a thief who became the infamous superhero after stealing the suit from Hank Pym in order to save his dying daughter. Since then he has fought alongside heroes such as the Fantastic Four and the Avengers. 

If you're curious about the Ant-Man character and don't know where to start, you're in luck! A new Ant-Man series was released by MARVEL today! Ant-Man #1 is out now and I personally really enjoyed this issue! Scott Lang isn't a poster-boy hero, he's flawed, he doesn't have a stable income, his place is a runned down studio apartment, has an ex wife who doesn't want him near his daughter, and he isn't the guy that people would normally count on. He continues to try and he means well; that's what makes this first issue great to read. Scott Lang will either remind you of yourself or maybe someone you know. As you get through this issue, you'll find yourself rooting for him as he tries to better himself for his daughter. The interaction between Lang and his daughter is quite heartwarming, mix in Lang's smart alec comments and you have gold. Ant-Man #1 is out today, so swing by your local comic shop and pick this issue up!
