    Ant-Men and the Wasps inā€¦QUANTUM FORCE

    by
    So if I were going to pitch a comic to Marvel that somehow related to Ant-Man and the Wasp or one or the other, I'd give them something called Quantum Force. That name doesn't refer to anything in the Marvel universe yet--at least, I don't think it does--but it does have a super cheesy, late 1990s New Universe kind of vibe to it.

    Original Recipe Ant-Man and the Wasp

    by
    Further complicating the "Are these really Ant-Man's stories?" question is the fact that, in Tales to Astonish #49, Ant-Man changed his suit, broadened his power set to include size increase as well as size decrease, and became Giant-Man. And although he was always Giant-Man on the cover of the comic, Hank often shrank down to Ant-Man size in the pages of his adventures, meaning that effectively categorizing these stories is just slightly bothersome.

    A Giant-Sized List of Pint-Sized Ant-Man Stories

    by
    Every fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) prepares for a new movie in their own way. Some flip off their internet and hide under the covers, hoping to avoid spoilers. Others rewatch all of the other MCU movies to remind themselves of the stories that have come before. Me? I read comics.

    Alternate Origins of the Ant-Man and the Wasp

    by
    The first real retelling of Hank's origin story doesn't in 2002, almost 40 years after the original, in the Mark Millar-written and David Finch-penciled The Ultimates, a classic of Marvel's Ultimate Universe line. In it, Hank is a petty, jealous, competitive, violent scientist obsessed with proving himself smarter than Bruce Banner.

    The Lives and Deaths of Scott and Cassie Lang

    by
    Throughout the years, as marketing and editorial needs needs dictated it, the characters of Scott and Cassie Lang, as the superheroes Ant-Man and Stature and two of the main characters in this summer's Ant-Man and the Wasp, have been occasionally had their lives altered or ended to give a story having not that much to do with them some higher stakes. Which feels cold, but that's the soap opera part of comic books.

    Nick Spencer and Ramon Rosanasā€™s Astonishing Ant-Man

    by
    On the surface, there’s a lot in common between the Scott Lang we meet on the comic book’s pages and the one we see on the screen. They’re both ex-cons. They’re both having trouble getting over their pasts. They both have a cute kid named Cassie. The points of Scott Lang's life that are getting highlighted on the screen are very present on the pages of the book. If you went into a comic shop looking for more of the feeling that you found in the film, you probably weren't disappointed.
