[[caption-width-right:300:[[WesternAnimation/{{Archer}} Do you want ants? Because that’s how you get ants.]]]]
'''''Astonishing Ant-Man''''' (originally just '''''Ant-Man''''') is a 2015 Creator/{{Marvel}} comic book written by Nick Spencer (''ComicBook/MorningGlories'', ''ComicBook/TheSuperiorFoesOfSpiderMan'') with art by Ramon Rosanas, published as part of the "ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel" initiative that sprung from the aftermath of ''ComicBook/{{Secret Wars|2015}}''.
It features Scott Lang, the second ComicBook/AntMan (and focus of [[Film/AntMan his 2015 movie]]) as he moves down to UsefulNotes/{{Miami}}, Florida to be closer to his recently-resurrected daughter [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Cassie]], starting a security solutions firm while there. Oh, and Scott's {{starter villain}} Darren Cross has been revived by his vengeful son, so that's kind of an issue.
Originally published in January 2015 for the "[[ComicBook/MarvelNOW Avengers NOW!]]" branding (without its "[[TheAdjectivalSuperhero astonishing]]" adjective), this series had an initial run of five issues, an annual, and a one-shot prelude to ''ComicBook/{{Secret Wars|2015}}'', ultimately returning from hiatus in October 2015 with the previous creative team intact.
Now titled ''Astonishing Ant-Man'', it picks up [[TimeSkip eight months from where it left off]] -- namely, with Scott and his employees (and fellow {{reformed criminal}}s) Grizzly and Machinesmith providing their services to a retirement home for [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks golden age]] superheroes led by Mary Morgenstern, the former Miss Patriot. [[spoiler: It also turns out he's presently estranged from Cassie, as to avoid putting her in harm's way -- and that he's telling the story in {{flashback}} from prison]].
As for what Hank Pym --the original Ant-Man-- seems to be doing these days, well ... [[EmergencyTransformation let's just say he's feeling a bit disconnected]] [[ComicBook/{{Ultron}} from humanity at the moment]].
