Far, far, far better than a short novel about a shrinking superhero who's also a divorced single Dad in Manhattan has any right to be.The true supervillain revealed in this story? Online dating.The Graphic Audio production was, once again, absolutely fantastic.
Antman's criminal past is back to haunt him and his daughter is smack dab in the thick of it.I picked this up to listen to on my drive to and from work and this is the first time I'm hearing one of Graphic Audio's productions. I have to say I really enjoyed it. The main actors are really good and the music and sound effects enhance the story. Graphic Audio's slogan is on point because this is really "A Movie In Your Mind".
Fun little Scott Lang Ant-Man tale. Worth a listen if you liked the movie.
Audible version.
This was fun, and put a spotlight not only on Ant-Man, but Cassie, too. Written firmly YA, but does a good job with describing real world consequences and maintaining a decent-sized cast of supporting characters. These prose Marvel books do not, so far, disappoint.
This is a fun and breezy story helped considerably by the multi voice cast. (As an aside, I wish Audible would make more of these modern audio presentations available. They work like a modern spin on a kind of long form radio show from the 30's). The final resolution is perhaps a bit underwhelming, but the journey is worth it. This thing sucks you in! Enjoy!
This is a good story featuring Ant-Man where he needs to protect himself from a released convict that is targeting Scott and his family. He needs to protect himself and his family, including his X-wife. The story becomes complicated as Scott gets help from Tony Stark as a babysitter. Unsurprisingly, Antman's daughter leaves Stark tower without Tony or Pepper Potts knowing a thing about it. Antman saves his daughter and all of the ants in New York. It is a great adventure.
"Ant Man: Natural Enemy," by Jason Starr, is a marginally okay book. But books about superheroes--if you ask me--should be more than just "marginally okay."Before I go on, I should explain that I had previously sworn to never read a book by Jason Starr or Ken Bruen--after suffering through their abysmal "Bust" series for Hard Case Crime--but I'm trying not to let that color my review. If I had known who the author was instead of just buying all the Marvel books at the store, I might not have pur...
This was a fast read. I read the graphic audio version. If you enjoyed the ant man movie this will work for you. I found it a bit predictable but a enjoyable story in the ever growing Marvel multiverse.

This is a fun Scott Lang and Cassie story. I don't think it fits in either the comics or the MCU continuity, but that's okay. Tony Stark guests as a baby sitter and doesn't seem to be much worse than Scott himself. There are some genuinely funny bits, but nothing too memorable or meaningful. It's a light, fast read.
Ant man is one of my top Marvel heros... I really enjoyed reading this book.... Jason Starr did an amazing job explaining the relationship of Scott and Cassie. Father and daughter relationships they were close to each other. I'm gonna try to find more hopefully of Antman that Jason Starr has wrote...
Every Marvel I read never disappoints and this one didn't either! Ant-Man's story has become intriguing to me because it simply about man trying to be the father he can be to his daughter. He has a past and reformed his ways by mentor Dr. Hank Pym. Now he wants to be the best father to Cassie as he possibly can. A lot father daughter moments followed by some espionage and teen drama. Sprinkle a cameo from Iron Man and you got yourself a serious page turner.
Okay. So like. This book did nothing to expand my brain. But it was fun. I love Ant-Man. His teenage daughter was kind of terrible, going from "I love you daddy!" to "EVERYTHING'S YOUR FAULT!" in zero to sixty, and the villain lacked depth for sure, but it was entertaining.
A Review of the AudiobookPublished in 2015 by GraphicAudioPerformed by more than 25 voice actors.Duration: Approximately 5 hours.Scott Lang, better known to superhero fans as Ant-Man, has moved to New York City with his teenage daughter to take advantage of some job opportunities in the tech field. If you only know Ant-Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are a few differences in this book, but nothing that is insurmountable.Scott Lang's criminal past comes back to haunt him when a form...
Very nice book to read...,Jason Starr is like Greg Cox which I like. Straight forward , easy, non-confusing writing.
4.5 stars!!!What's not to love about the Scott Lang incarnation of Ant-Man? Humor? Sarcasm? His daughter? His new life as a reformed criminal? Sure. It's all here.Under The Cover: Much like the Captain America prose novel, Ant-Man has a thick, black cover with a red Ant-Man helmet/logo/symbol. Very nice Ant-Man art.The art within the pages: Unlike the Captain America prose novel, the Ant-Man prose novel didn't have as much art inside. Each chapter has a few ants "crawling" on the pages. The fron...
I was looking forward to an exciting adventure tale. Instead, I got a YA angst piece in which both father and daughter (Scott and Cassie) are more wrapped up in their romantic wants than in the adventure. Meh.It's like Mr. Starr couldn't think of a better plot line than using a 14 year old's infatuation with an older boy as a source of conflict between father and daughter. It's a boring source Mr. Starr. Why couldn't the conflict be about Cassie's desire to be more involved with Scott's Ant-Man
Really enjoyed the audio book. Good ups and downs. That and the inner dialogue kept me listening to the end.
This book takes a very long time to get started. In the first 58% of the book, it's just about Scott Lang and his daughter in their fairly mundane lives. The conflict gets started, finally, but it makes the good part of the book kind of short. The ending didn't make much sense, but at least they did tie up the loose ends.Overall, it was okay, but not great. I probably won't read it again.I get that Marvel is not quite as adept with prose novels as they are with movies and comics, but guys, even
