New Ant-man & Wasp Mini Series

[Colossal Spoons]

Eric's costume is still a sore on the ol' eyes

Everything about Eric is a sore on my brain.

I find it unintentionally hilarious that Marvel is promoting this mini while, at the same time, making a big promotion out of Pym becoming Giant-Man again in AVENGERS ACADEMY #7. If there was any signal that said, "that is the more important title, and so this mini isn't terribly important" (especially since O'Grady is in SECRET AVENGERS), this is it. And Marvel will charge $4 an issue for a mini that, by their own promotion, they acknowledge may be fun but not important. They fail to understand that they market they've helped create only rewards "important" titles, and despite all their assumptions that their readers are blithering neanderthals, they seem quite adept at figuring out which books are "more equal" than others. And then their two top editors will give an interview on CBR and are unable to fathom why smaller books or those unique good titles don't sell as well as AVENGERS.

It does seem like a case of extraordinarily bad timing. Especially since there was like a year and some change that they could've brought this out for when Hank would've been the Wasp.

A House Of Ideas is nothing if only a select few can execute them properly.

O'Grady's sideburns are insane. Normally only Sean Cassidy or Logan could pull those off.

I was actually thinking about growing out my sideburns like that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

What the hell? Is *****ebag Ant-Man doing his best Wolverine impression?

 

[runawayboulder]

Aren't long sideburns like that an Irish thing?

 

[NightBeetle]

Aren't long sideburns like that an Irish thing?

I didn't know that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think they're just a 19th-century thing and/or a grungy, don't-feel-like-shaving-my-whole-face thing.

It suits me.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Get out, you're from the 19th century, too?

 

[NightBeetle]

Hell yeah, One of the few gems that I remember was having anal sex with Thomas Jefferson.......



Great times.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

And that's more than I ever wanted to know about Thomas Jefferson...

 

[NightBeetle]

I'm truly sorry

 

[JewishHobbit]

How big was he?

It still is a shame that the timing of this is bad. The gimmick is negated by the fact that Pym basically retires his tenure as the Wasp in December, halfway through this. Of course, this is the same Marvel that admits on CBR that it's overdoing Deadpool and that they need to cut back on spam, yet they're content with 4 X-Books rather than allow ASTONISHING X-MEN to end after Warren Ellis is done. Nope, bring on Daniel Way.

It looks good to me. Being a *****e is what O'Grady does best, although he's had more moments of nobility lately. Rogers got him to join the SECRET AVENGERS, and he actually saved their rears in the first arc. He also helped keep the spear of Odin out of Osborn's hands (alongside Paladin and the Avengers).

Still hate his retro suit, though. I miss his "GI ANT-MAN" one, although as it was invented by a Skrull, I guess he wouldn't want to don it anymore for the bad PR.

 

[NightBeetle]

How big was he?

Would say nine and a half inches.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Would say nine and a half inches.

Oh that Tom

Hmm. It never seems to be a good idea when super-scientists make lists...
