First published 2023
Scott Lang opens his story as a man caught between two impossible worlds. Fresh out of prison and struggling as a divorced father, he faces the daily challenge of rebuilding his life while staying connected to his daughter. Then he becomes Ant-Man, shrinking to insect size and discovering abilities that defy every law of physics he thought he knew. The transformation brings him into the ranks of The Avengers, where he fights alongside Earth's mightiest heroes against threats like Thanos. Lang wrestles with epic battles that span galaxies while never losing sight of the smaller, more personal wars at home. He must balance saving the world with being present for his child, learning that heroism comes in many sizes. Through victories and defeats, Lang discovers that being an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances requires its own kind of courage.
