'Ant-Man' Prose Novel: Jason Starr Puts Scott Lang In New Marvel Original, 'Ant-Man: Natural Enemy!'

Before making his leap onto the Hollywood big screen, Marvel Comics' smallest superhero, Ant-Man, is heading towards his first prose novel. Critically acclaimed crime novelist Jason Starr is breaking new ground with con artist Scott Lang in Ant-Man: Natural Enemy.  

In the narrative from the Twisted City scribe, readers get to meet the different layers of Scott Lang. All at once, Scott is pulled at so many sides as an ex con, a single parent, and a part-time super hero. Settling into a new city with his teenage daughter, Cassie, just seems to add more problems. .

Trouble doesn't stray too far when a criminal from Scott's past comes gunning for them. Scott's attempt at a new beginning with his daughter is in serious jeopardy. But, is the killer actually after Scott or the secrets behind his Ant-Man technology?

Pushed to the brink, we will see just how far would Scott would go to protect his only child.

From Marvel, their SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel states, "Marvel's exciting line of prose novels offer a completely new window into the Marvel Universe. Whether you're an Ant-Man fan, or looking to experience a new story featuring the breakout character of 2015, this novel is going to be an exciting thrill ride from cover to cover."

This is a great way for audiences to get to know the miniature-sized superhero before the blockbuster movie hits theaters in the summer. As we have mentioned here, in the highly anticipated flick, Paul Rudd (Role Models) will play the role of Scott and Oscar winner Michael Douglas (Wall Street) will appear as Hank Pym. We are very excited to see what director Peyton Reed has in store for audiences. 

We previously mentioned, writer Nick Spencer (Superior Foes of Spider-Man) and artist Ramon Rosanas (Night of the Living Deadpool) have joined together for the all new series, Ant-Man #1. Hank Pym holds the key to defeating an unstoppable adversary in the original graphic novel, Avengers: Rage of Ultron.

Ant-Man #1 will hit stores everywhere in January and Ant-Man the movie arrives in July 17, 2015. 

Ant-Man: Natural Enemy arrives in stores on June 3, 2015, perfect for summertime reading. Readers, are you excited to read Marvel's prose fiction?
