Book Overview

Introducing the world's worst super hero! 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 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...

Like Eric O'Grady, Kind of Disappointing

First, I must say that I do recommend this book. But as other reviewers have mentioned, Robert Kirkman's first volume of The Irredeemable Ant-Man tends to be a bit over rated. I did not find the writing to be as funny as I was led to believe it would be, based on other reviews; though, it does have some memorable moments. No, if I were to recommend this on only one feature of the story, it would be Kirkman's characterization...

Irredeemable indeed

This is a fun book, if overrated. The Irredeemable Ant-Man is indeed irredeemable, I'll give him that, but he's also, if amusing, somewhat boring: he doesn't change or grow at all throughout the story, so there's never a point after the first chapter where there's any real question about what he's going to do (which, once he acquires the Ant-Man suit, mostly involves spying on women in the shower). There are a several good...

Irredeemably delightful

Take a complete jerk, make him a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and then give him an Ant-Man suit, and what happens? The answer is: THIS BOOK, and Robert Kirkman carries through with this premise very, very well. At first, I thought Eric O'Grady, the man who eventually becomes the irredeemable Ant-Man would be completely unrelatable, and, just a giant jerk. Well. . . he IS a complete jerk, but the strange thing is that I found myself...

One of the best anti-hero stories I've read in a while

I bought this on a whim, interested by the premise. Someone who isn't a villian, but not a hero either, in possession of super-human abilities (in this case, a new and improved Ant-Man prototype suit). It definately did not disappoint at all. It was very interesting to follow the low-level agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and much more interesting to follow the story of someone we aren't rooting for. Eric O'Grady may not be evil,...

Funny but irredeemably

A funny and different "hero". The new Antman basically stole the costume and then misuses it. Among the best moments is how he uses his powers to hit on women or spy on them naked in the shower. The kind of stuff a lot of real guys would probably do if they had those powers. For the light overall tone, this Antman really is irredeemable as his actions help get his best friend killed and seriously injure another former...
