2022 marks another big anniversary for one of Marvel Comics' most iconic heroes as Ant-Man prepares to celebrate his 60th year! Today, the publisher has announced that Al Ewing, the writer who redefined Hulk in Immortal Hulk, is now setting his sights on Ant-Man, delving into the character’s unique history to examine every hero who's ever taken on the mantle since he first appeared in 1962.
Joining him on this epic journey will be artist Tom Reilly (The Thing) for an adventure that begins in Marvel’s silver age and concludes in a strange new future. Each thrilling issue will focus on a different Ant-Man, from Hank Pym to Eric O’Grady to Scott Lang, as a brand-new future Ant-Man seeks to connect them all so they can face off against a threat only they can hope to defeat!
It all kicks off in Ant-Man #1 which will flashback to the early days of Hank Pym’s career as the astonishing Ant-Man! It’s date night for Hank and his girlfriend Janet Van Dyne, but nobody told that to Ant-Man’s enemies. Watch as Hank’s ant-agonists band together to finally take down the scientific adventurer! But will anyone come to his rescue? And who is the mysterious stranger who stalks him?
"For Ant-Man's ant-iversary, we wanted to go BIG with the world's smallest hero - burrowing an ant tunnel right through his sixty-year history and far beyond, from the wild and wooly 1960s all the way to a future you'll have to see to believe!" Ewing promises in a press release shared today.
"You'll find out how Henry Pym, Scott Lang and Eric O'Grady impacted each other's lives in ways they never knew themselves - but who's the mysterious final member of this Ant-tastic Four? Tremble with ant-icipation, true believer - the answers are coming soon to a hill near you!"
Ant-Man #1 is set to be released this June, so keep checking back here for further updates.
