Some thoughts about Ant-Man #1

Ant-Man wants to be recognized for who he truly is but that won't be easy.

Being a father who cares for his daughter the most, Scott Lang is decided to get the best job possible to raise her the way she deserves. Nonetheless, Tony Stark is the only one who can allow that to happen and he won't give the role to anybody.

This issue marks the beginning of a new volume focused on another Marvel character who is about to get his own movie. Scott Lang was never really the most notorious Ant-Man since Hank Pym was the one who made that identity famous, fortunately writer Nick Spencer seems to have the right direction to make Scott worthy of the name.

For one, the creator takes the whole idea of Scott Lang being a kinda obscure character directly making several jokes about how he pales in comparison to the previous Ant-Man and his life was nothing really to be proud of. These comparisons automatically make you care about Scott and his objectives which are pretty understandable and relatable, it's perfect for new readers since you don't need to know anything about him to be invested.

Spencer also makes several jokes about Scott's fluctuating career considering he was in the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and that he was even dead for a while. It's a read that doesn't take itself seriously and works pretty well due to that reason, the style certainly helps due that is not your usual superhero story considering that is mostly about the protagonist trying to get a job.

At the end you feel like you want to see more progress for the character and motivates you to keep reading about him.

Ramon Rosanas is on art duties and his work is excellent. His style is pretty clean and detailed with good looking characters and nice storytelling skills.

Great and promising issue, I don't know about the movie but so far I'm interested in the comic.
