  Antman is a painful read. God I hate my OCD that makes me read every issue.

  Really? I'm actually enjoying the Ant-Man books. It's just so ridiculous how they come up with ways for winning battles like this. This is like the silveriest silver age stuff in here.

  @phatfarmer If you think these first few are bad, boy you're in for a surprise later. So far they've all be decent, except the last two stories have had horrible endings. He stole the gems and replaced them with dust? That's just stupid.

  So it seems like Ant-Man is going to have a few Scooby Doo "and the villain is actually..." stories. I'm okay with that as there's not much more Ant-Man can do really.

A mundane story with some silliness you come to expect (especially what the Protector does with his "disintegration ray"), nothing much to see here.

  Relative to the other Ant-Man stories, I'd say this one is pretty good.
The Scooby-Doo style ending tried my patience and I think I'm starting to grow horrified with the implications of a super-hero having a slave army.

But, it was better than other Ant-Man stories.

  After reading the ending and being told that the "disintegration gun" did not really disintegrate, I went back and looked at the earlier frames where it was used. The cases were partially disintegrated. Did the Protector break them apart and steal the pieces as well, all before the smoke cleared?

  The best thing about this issue was the art, but sweet gravy-covered biscuit, was the story dumb.

  This is just another another one of Larry Lieber's villain unmasking plots. If you're skipping anything in The Order, skip this one(and the other ones like it).

  What a turd. Ant man is getting more and more ridiculous. How the F is someone that small going to contend with his first boot, let alone a real villain that wants to hurt him?

  Well, finally Ant-Man does some real crimefighting. In some ways, it's really a Scooby-Doo mystery, but at least the guy wasn't a communist this time. Ant-Man did show some quick-thinking, and his detective work was well-done. My son stuck with this story through to the end, although he was as distracted as a four-year old usually is. He still likes Ant-Man, although he isn't his absolute favorite anymore. We'll see how it goes in the future.

  If you can create an exo-suit you should look to a career in robotics.

  I never really liked Ant-Man when I was a kid reading Avengers comics, but I'm really growing an appreciation for him and his ability while reading The List. I've become a bit of an Ant-Man fan, and I'm getting excited for the Ant Man movie Disney-Marvel is working on.
