New Comic Review - Ant-man #2

Name: Ant-man #2
Published by: Marvel Comics 
Writer: Al Ewing
Artist: Tom Reilly
Colorist: Jordie Bellaire
Letterer: VC's Cory Petit

It is very hard follow up the first issue of this mini-series, which was a dose of nostalgic perfection. But Ewing and Reilly do manage to deliver another fun and enjoyable issue, although maybe not as spectacular as the previous one. 

This time we switch our focus to the most notorious person ever to use of the name of Ant-man, the irredeemable Eric O'Grady. The story is set just after Eric had stolen the new and improved Ant-man suit from SHIELD, as he tries to get familiar with his new found powers and ends up meeting different incarnations of Ant-man. 

The art style by Tom Reilly, tries to imitate the style of the 2000's and does so admirably. His paneling and drawing style was a brilliant replication of the methods used in 'The Irredeemable Ant-man' series in which Eric used to star on, and once again was an enjoyable trip to the past. 

But to me the pacing was the issue was a bit too slow, and nothing much really happened concerning the main overarching plot of the series. 

This gets, 4 out of 5 stars from me.
