Irredeemable Ant-Man - Volume 2: Small-Minded (Irredeemable Ant-Man, Volume 2) (v. 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Eric O'Grady (AKA the Irredeemable Ant-Man) continues to amaze me.

His lies are remarkably masterful, and he always gets away with them, in the end. If he were to use his skills for malice, he would be an astounding super-villain, but he doesn't. He only uses his powers to get by in life, and that is strangely relatable.

Here, he uses his talents to join a super-hero group and even garner a new love interest. Later, he gets caught up in World War Hulk, and hilarity ensues when he fights the not-so-Jolly Green Giant. Concluding the book is his finally getting caught by his arch-nemesis. . .

At the heart of these stories, however, is Eric O'Grady's utter character. This is a man who constantly lies, but he only does it to get by. Particularly interesting is the fact that Eric in this book admits all his faults. He admits who he is, and he wants to be a better person, but can't. HE CANNOT. This is a man who is helplessly trapped within his character, and that was amazingly insightful to read.

The humor continues as well. When Eric befriends the Black Fox, they have a hilarious pastime together. Superhero-ing to Eric continues to be nothing but "fun and awesome," and it is just so amusing to see him shirk all responsibility for the sake of his well-being.

A great book if you're looking for some laughs, a great book if you want strong characters, a great book PERIOD.
