Ant-Man & The Wasp (2018) #1 (of 5)

This is the start of a five part series. Like any mini-series, I tend to find some parts of it rushed, but they are limited in time so I’m usually willing to let it slide.
Here we have the two newer versions of Ant-Man and the Wasp, aka Scott Lang and Nadia Pym. These two are a bit more antagonistic towards each other than I anticipated/remembered, but it sort of works, you know, in a weird way.
Long story short they find themselves on one of those crazy adventures that can only be had if you have the ability to shrink down to incredibly small sizes. It’s fun and light, but has heavier tones and a more dramatic cliffhanger at the end.
One thing I was really happy about is how they tied this up with Scott’s last appearance – last we saw him he had been hanging out with the Guardians of the Galaxy, only to have been separated from them. They never really went out of their way to find him, and vice versa. At least now we know what actually happened to him.
