3. Ant-Man by Nick Spencer and Ramon Rosanas
(Ant-Man)
Nick Spencer is easily the most underrated writer in comics. Yes, he is both well liked and prolific, but he could be considered a holy figure and he’d still be underrated as far as I’m concerned. I really do need to find an excuse to write an entire article about how great Superior Foes of Spider-Man is one of these days. But when I heard Spencer was going to be taking over Ant-Man, I squealed with excitement.
What followed was a note perfect, absolutely hilarious series about Scott Lang trying to keep his family together and start a small business in Miami. Collected in the “Second Chance Man†trade paperback, the series is loaded with beautifully crafted characters, especially Grizzly, who runs around in a bear suit and is amazing. Scott Lang’s struggles are immediately identifiable and charming. And the follow-up series by the same team, “The Astonishing Ant-Man†is the book I look forward to most every month.
