Ant-Man: Natural Enemy by Jason Starr is a Marvel mass market paperback. This is an
original tale set in the Marvel Universe and features Scott Lang as Ant-Man and
his daughter, Cassie. Scott Lang is trying to stay out of trouble and just
be a father. Everything is going fine until the FBI shows up at his doorstep to
take him and his daughter in protective custody.
Back when Scott Lang was a criminal,
he testified against a guy named Dugan who has now escaped prison. Dugan is on
a revenge tour and killing everyone who helped send him to prison. It appears
that Scott is next on his murder parade. If Scott Lang were a normal person, maybe
the FBI protection would be warranted. But, it is not as he is a superhero.
Since the FBI has no idea that he is Ant-Man, it is up to him to protect
himself and his daughter while trying to keep the FBI from figuring out his
identity. It is a lot to deal with especially since his daughter is a typical
teenager and causes some issues.
Ant-Man: Natural Enemy mostly hinges on the relationship between Scott and his daughter,
Cassie. He often makes sarcastic jokes at various points while dealing with the
complications of being a father, being an ex-husband, single, being an ex-con
as well as a superhero as well as trying to work a regular job while being
hunted by a man bent on killing him. The read also brings in Iron Man, aka Tony
Stark, for some additional occasional humor.
This book is a good read for fans of
Ant-Man or folks that would like to read something about Ant-Man. Ant-Man:
Natural Enemy by Jason Starr has action, humor, mystery and is a fun
read.
My reading copy came from the Central
or Downtown Branch of the Dallas Library System before the libraries were closed
in the middle of March due to the ongoing pandemic.
