The first of two free promotional digital comics for Ant-Man and the Wasp as well as the first to focus on the title character, The Astonishing Ant-Man (2015-2016) #1 takes an interesting look at not only Scott Lang's family troubles but his attempt at creating a security company with his superhero persona front and center. At the same time, an old nemesis of Lang's is convinced to use a new app that's specifically designed to send out super villains at specific heroes to kill him but backs out when he learns how expensive it is. The art on this comic, while not outright terrible or bad, isn't something that's so amazing to look at and feeling a bit unfinished. Lang's narration throughout the comic helps explain what's been happening as we see the things goings on is well done, though the dialogue balloons sometime fill too much of the pages. Though it does payoff well when the last page shows that Lang has been narrating inside a jail cell as he has been arrested, again. The joke of someone from Silicon Valley making an app that sends villains to kill heroes and they having followers is hilarious, especially when considering how close Ant-Man was close to dying due to how much it cost. Over all: 80%
