"The Day That Ant-Man Failed"
Another well drawn forgettable Ant-Man story. These tales continue to be a nice diversion, fun to read, great to look at, but forgettable. I may keep some of these TTA overviews a bit light from here on out. At least until Wasp makes her debut (#44 for those taking note).
In this issue, Ant-Man battles the Hijacker, a man who continues to (you guessed it) hijack armored cars. The ants around the city decide that Ant-Man is the man for the job. Hank goes to meet with the owner of the trucking company that has been hit the hardest (note that Hank is still using piles of ants to catch his fall after he rockets out of his base). The trucking owner asks Ant-Man to help and the Ant-Man agrees.
The next day, Ant-Man tags along with some police who are watching an armored truck shipment. Unfortunately, Hank falls ill and stays behind. The Hijacker hits the truck. What's this? Ant-Man to the rescue! He was faking sickness!
Ant-Man saves the day and the Hijacker is revealed to be the owner of the trucking company.
Next issue: Hank is kidnapped!
