On Monday, my esteemed colleague Peter Martin ran a poll asking
just which Marvel movie / character you were most excited to see
onscreen. As of Tuesday morning, Ant-Man was actually winning,
prompting Erik Davis to ask me if I'd put together a guide to
this offbeat Avenger. Or did he ask me because Ant-Man was dead
last, as he is right now? I can't remember -- it was 7am and I
hadn't slept because I plan to do that when I'm dead ... but
hey, whatever the reason, now you'll have an Ant-Man guide!  As
you know, Ant-Man has attracted the talents of Edgar Wright
(Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz). But the sad truth is that Wright
has a lot more fans than the erstwhile Avenger, and a lot of
moviegoers will be scrambling to catch up. Since the movie is a
long way off, you've got time to catch up and scour some back
issues. That way, when Ant-Man finally does hit theaters
(hopefully in time for him to join the upcoming Avengers movie),
you'll be an expert, able to lord your continuity knowledge over
all those moviegoers
