Astonishing Ant-Man: The Trial of Ant-Man Review

Finished reading Astonishing Ant-Man: The Trial of Ant-Man, bringing an end to the series as writer Nick Spencer concludes Scott Lang's story as the book catches up with the present by show how Scott found himself back in prison. The book opens with Ant-Man's team he brought together to stop his daughter, Cassie from making the same mistake that originally sent him to prison, soon discover that Scott has been taken captive by Darren Cross. This leads to half of the group deciding to make a run with some stolen property of Cross Technological Enterprises while Cassie, Darla, Giant-Man, Machinesmith and Grizzly decide to stay and try to save Scott by breaking back into Cross Technological Enterprises. However when the remaining team are able to save Scott from Cross they soon discover that the police have been notified about the situation by Darla's own boss which leads to Scott finding himself back in prison and in need of a lawyer. The final story of the book written by Nick Giovannetti and Paul Scheer sees Drax the Destroyer chasing after an alien finds themselves in Miami as a deal for a dangerous weapon, which leads to Drax and Ant-Man teaming up to stop the deal from happening. Overall this was a great book as it concludes the series by catching up with how Ant-Man found himself back in prison and continuing the story with Scott having to call She-Hulk for help to be his defence lawyer which brings with it some great interactions between Scott and Jen especially when it's revealed who the prosecutor of the case is. The books comedy continues to be amazing as it bring some hilarious laugh out loud moments from the situations Scott finds himself in along with the way each characters interactions especially with how some of the lower tier villainous characters deal with working with Ant-Man and how they try to turn it into a win for them. The art throughout book is great as as each art team does a great job in bring Ant-Man's world to life thanks to how well the action and more character driven scenes are drawn extremely well while there is the addition of some really great visual comedy mixed in within. 8.5/10.
