Trapped by the Protector!
Okay folks, this is the big one. Get ready for it, because our favourite ant-sized superhero is back this month with a battle against none other than, The Protector? Yeah, lame. The basic premise here is that a guy goes around bullying people into buying protection against, well, himself. So instead of just telling it straight, as a kind of mob story or something, Lieber insists on having another whodunnit where the reveal is another one of those “okay… great?” moments. Not only does it make for a dull story, but the more Ant-Man’s “powers” and companions are milked doing the same thing every issue, the more ridiculous and contrived they seem. At this point, it’s quite obvious who’s getting the A-list treatment at Marvel, and who isn’t.
