The Irredeemable Ant-Man

[Dr.Doom]

I love that song

 

[Zeu]

ew

Those ants look icky!

 

[Elijya]

You're that impressed with my insults?

no, for your entry in the free comics contest. I haven't done the tally, but I recall you did a few, right?

 

[Not Jake]

I think I did 4.

 

[Elijya]

yeah, Fray, DKR, Y:TLM and Hellboy

only had a couple participants, with Anubis and Darthphere seeming to be the the top guys, but you'll definitely place

 

[Darthphere]

Yay! E, dont think ill start slacking with the write-ups, I have a lot more books to get to.

 

[Not Jake]

So my status will be upped from "prick" to "prick with one of Elijya's trades". Excellent

 

[Elijya]

who placed you as "prick"?

 

[Zoken]

I'll check it out, it sounds interesting and I liked Kirkman's work on MTU with the LoL storyline. Marvel Zombies twisted my brain a little... Here's hoping for somethign that won't make me nausea

 

[Not Jake]

who placed you as "prick"?

Popular vote

 

[Darthphere]

Popular vote

I thought you lost the popular vote and got the title through Electoral College?

 

[Not Jake]

No, the electoral college for deciding whether or not someone's a prick is the voters' cute pet animals. I can't be expected to keep up this edgy facade in their presence

 

[Dread]

I plan on picking this up, because I usually like Kirkman's stuff. Even when he's coasting, he's more fun to read than a lot of other writers. Plus, I like the redesigned costume and Marvel needs more "legacy" heroes.

As for the new Ant-Man looking like Spider-Man, well...since Spider-Man is busy looking like Iron Man's gimp, I guess SOMEONE has to look like him. OOOHHHH!

 

[Not Jake]

you should get at least a couple pity lols from the guys who worship your text like the word of God in the Bought/Thought threads.

 

[Anubis]

You're so jealous

 

[Caliber]

How does everyone feel about the new Ant-Man series in October by Kirkman and Hester?

I am not sure about two people sharing the persona, and the costume is kinda bleh, but it looks like it could be fun.

Thanks to Elijya for the link.


Issue 1 info:

Introducing the world’s WORST superhero! When a low-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agent gets a hold of Hank Pym’s new Ant-Man suit you know the Marvel Universe is in trouble. He’s not concerned with saving the world or helping others. He’s concerned with getting through the day and getting a leg up on life. He’s not going to use his powers responsibly, he’s going to use them for the betterment of himself. He’s ANT-MAN a NEW “hero” for the modern world. If you thought Robert Kirkman pushed the boundaries of what could be in a Marvel Comic with MARVEL ZOMBIES just WAIT until you see what he does in THE IRREDEEMABLE ANT-MAN!

It sounds really good and its sounds perfect since its in the middle or at the end of civil war. The costume is interesting and does look alot like Spidey.

 

[Zoken]

I don't think it looks that much like Spider-Man. Sure maybe in the eyes a bit, but Spidey (Except as Hornet) never wore armoring like this. and maybe the color scheme is similar, but not really that close. and as has been pointed out, if he looks like Spidey... well someone has to and Spidey isn't doing it right now.

 

[Kevin]

looks more like scarlet spider-man when he first showed up again. looks good though

 

[Darthphere]

Scott Lang.....

ba-zing x2

looks more like scarlet spider-man when he first showed up again.

yeah it does but anyone with large round eye pieces gets compared to SM's costume. it's cos it's a classic design.

when i was young i saw "merc with a mouth" and saw Deadpool's costume and just thought: humour and that style? SM part 2. i was obviously wrong so now i try to ignore similarities in costumes. it's too fickle for someone as sophisticated as me

 

[Anubis]

I miss Muze. I wonder what he'd say about all this.

 

[Not Jake]

You're so jealous

Please my feeble wrists would have worn out from carpal tunnel long ago if I typed 500 extraneous words per review.

 

[Not Jake]

I miss Muze. I wonder what he'd say about all this.

My name is Muze, I love Ant-Man, but not this one, I like the old one. I hate Bendis, this was probably Bendis' idea, I'll only buy it if the old one shows up, I think I'm smarter than Jake but I'm not so I'm going to have to really gas my superiority complex after he insults me immediately following this post. I hope someone loves me someday.

 

[Not Jake]

I'm Jake I think I'm smarter than Muze, which I am, so I'll insult him, because I too have a superiority complex, except it doesn't have to be challenged to kick in. I will ridicule his genitalia. I don't want to be loved because I'm sick in the head.

 

[Not Jake]

I wonder if Jake likes me. Better insult him because that's what I did to girls in elementary school.
