Ant-Man Prose Novel Announced

Small in stature. Large in word count. Just in time for next Summer's movie.

As we wait for any information on the upcoming Ant-Man movie, it looks like we're starting to see some more comic-related items pop up. Evangeline Lily told us she finished shooting but filming is continuing into December. Last week we saw the unique individual variant cover for January's ANT-MAN comic.

Now there's a prose novel on the way. This is good because while we know about Ant-Man(s), the general movie-going audience might not. Plus, I think the idea of prose novel with comic characters is a cool idea.
