Don't get me wrong: I'm really enjoying this series, I appreciate the time Parker invests in the character moments for Scott and the funny moments. I also quite like the art Rosana is contributing .
BUT I would love if we would get more visual fun! You know, seeing Scott doing more with his powers and the weird perspective it must be beeing actually shrinked. For me this series is lacking this so far. Also: more Ant-Action!
Maybe I'm short-handed with this opinion though, because many people think his skills are lame and they wouldn't read this series if it wouldn't be for Scott relatable personality.
Oh and yeah and I dislike how Marvel is often doing misleading seemingly random covers, (the 'Hench' app isn't that prominent in this issue) but I think I should get used to it by now.
Parker? did you mean Spencer (and Ramon Rosanas)? I too would like to see more creative size-changing. but I'm sure that is coming; since Scott is mentoring another size-changer. and the hench app is an ongoing subplot. it's, presumably, why Scott is currently sitting in prison.
I really felt bad for Scott near the end there. By the way, who's the new Giant-Man? This is the second time I've seen him, but I have no clue where he came from. He also doesn't seem to have a wiki page page yet by the way, so...
He is hispanic [or at least, he seem of hispanic heritage], is an expert in A.I. Research Field, with a degree based on Hank Pym work on A.I. - However, after some Ultron-Thing this field of study became "bad", so he now work as a common, low-payed tech for a normal Computer-Society. He was saved by Henry Pym and Scott Lang from Egghead, and in the final fight he risk his live for aid the hero. So when Henry Pym "died" in Rage of Ultron and Scott Lage receive part of his legacy, he give Raz one old constume of Hank, for giving him the same opportunity thar Hank give to himself
I could be wrong but isn't Raz of indian/pakistani descent?
I'm a fan of Scheer's podcast. so the cameo didn't bother me. good to see Scott's rogues gallery expand. I like that the lines are blurred when it comes to his adversaries. he has already befriended two villains that attempted to kill him; Grizzly and Beetle. and it looks like he might end up working for Power Broker. Taskmaster never considered him to be an opponent (i find that funny for some reason). etc. I don't know how to feel about the new Giant-Man, yet. he seems cooler than Spencer's other new character, Falcon/Joaquin; though.
Power Broker (ready made reason to bring in the more underused villains *holds out for Termite*)
The Cross family (Augustine is creepy and I don't think he'll grow much as a villain until his dad is out of the way - always good to see Crossfire)
Voice (I think this is a new guy unless the original attempted a career in radio; later in life)
Hijacker (like the tie-in to Overdrive)
the Slug (a must have villain for any Miami-based hero)
the Magician (I like his look - he's already more interesting than his deadbeat dad)
how many times has Masque told Tony that she's going to kill him? she needs to mix it up/be more specific about what she's going to do. it's making her vocabulary seem limited. I'd expect more from the child of a Count.
she was Bill Foster's wife, at one point. Bill first grew to giant size in an effort to win her back; pretended to be stuck for the sympathy (kind of a weird superhero origin story).
Falcon has done the Captain America thing before + Steve is the one who chose his successor. this is actually more legitimate than what happened with Bucky.
I loved it (and Spencer's Cap book)! I was wondering when we'd see Hijacker. and I'm actually glad about the last 5 pages. the Hench app was bugging me. but they've tied it back to Scott's rogues gallery; with Cross becoming the competition. and it's always great to see Janice/Beetle turn up.
