seems interesting. What would be the most recent "jumping on point" for Astonishing Ant-Man? I mean, #1 seems the most logical, but it could always pick up at like, 5.
>>82693557
Pick it up at #1 of the last series.

GODDAMIT SLOTT!! I feel sorry for her not knowing what just happened to her father, Tombstone.
>>82693311
All I saw from the thumbnail was Jay and Silent Bob
>>82693350
But Hijacker II is also a newbie.

FUCKING DROPPED
AntBeetle is my OTP.

Issue 1 of the current volume.

Anon, please.

Hopefully this doesn't cause good guy syndrome later.

The current volume is a direct continuiation of the last volume. The book relaunched because of ANAD/Secret Wars, but it's the same creative team on both, with a lot of the stuff happening in the current volume coming directly off of that one. That's one the last volume's trade is actually advertised as a "vol. 0" for this one.
The reading order is:
>Ant-man #1-5 (2015)
>Ant-man Annual #1
>Last Days of Ant-man #1
>Astonishing Ant-man #1-current
If you skip any of it then you're missing out on serious plot elements.

Yeah, but he wasn't stupid enough to say it was his first job.
>>82696502
Pay attention to what you're replying. He asked for the most recent jumping on point and that is the first issue of the current volumeor maybe a later issue.You can get by fine without having read the previous volume.
Man, they really need to redesign Whirlwind.
I mean nobody would miss this costume, right? There are iconically goofy costumes and then there are just flat-out bad costumes.
>>82696872
That's already a bit of a redesign from what his original costume was, and it's as sure hell better than this redesign was.
This costume's fine IMO.
>>82693350
>Whirlwind hitting on Beetle
Of course he is.
>>82695896
Even still, he probably has more experience than Magician.
>>82696557
But it's a bad jumping on point because it's not "really" a jumping on point.
>>82697067
She is a winged insect girl. Close enough
>>82696872
Once he dies from cloud exposure, ANAD Whirlwind can have a new suit.
>>82697321
>implying they won't retcon Whirlwind being a mutant like they did Squirrel Girl
>>82697203
But it is a jumping on point. You don't need to have read anything from before it. Spencer even recaps a ton of things
>>82697391
Ok then:
If you want the "most recent" jumping on point then:
>Astonishing Ant-man #1
If you want the "most ideal" jumping on point then:
>Ant-man #1
>>82697372
Being a mutant was a retcon to begin with. He used to just be a human that spun quickly.
>>82696502
Ant Man annual came out before Last Days but is based afterwards
>>82696872
It works based on the artist. The pin head give him charm and goes well with the spinning.
>>82697467
They also once tried retconning the Voice into being a mutant, though it didn't stick.
>>82697067
Wonder if Beetle is aware of how gross he is.
>>82699872
Isn't being creepy as fuck about Janet literally his entire personality?
>>82699931
He also is pals with Blizzard and is one of the free guys to show up in anti-Avengers teams while evading the "Thunderbolts" syndrome.
>>82700172
It's so hard to find a mid level threat villain who is just "bad" and doesn't die shortly after his reveal.
I want more GTS Beetle.
>>82700589
>GTS
what?

getting big causes brain problems
How is the new Astonishing Ant-Man ongoing?
Saw #1-4 at my lcs yesterday but decided not to get it.
>>82702066
It's pretty fun and has a Superior Foes-ish vibe in the sense that everybody is an unrepentant asshole. There's no Lieber, but what can you do.
>>82696502
Last Days was my favorite. It was a real nice moment Scott's boss revealed that the retirement home was for retired superheros.
