Ant Man - Issue #01

I read this because I had to, but I was pleasantly surprised at this story line. I didn't know anything about Ant-Man before I read this, so it was a good starting off point for me, considering some first issues assume that you'll know some background for characters.

The writing is clever, making Scott Lang a realistic dude who knows his superpower is crazy stupid but is still a likeable guy who really just mainly loves his daughter and does things so that he can provide a good life for her.

The story is so cliche and cheesy that pretty much made a full 360 for me and I actually found Scott Lang's character very endearing at the end of the issue. He really does just want to give his daughter a good life, and will do a lot for her. Like come on, who doesn't want to read a story about a good father.

They're making Ant-Man into a movie which looks ????? If I had been drinking and someone said I needed to create a cast for this movie, I would say Paul Rudd would make a good Scott Lang and also lets put Evangeline Lilly in because why not. But then those are the ACTUAL people in the movie, so I can only assume the person that wrote this script was drunk, and then their wish came true. Which is pretty awesome.
