5.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully Irredeemable, February 12, 2008

By	Kevin T. "the T. is for 'Toupee'" (Illinois, USA) - See all my 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best "worst superhero" ever!, January 2, 2009

By	Dean - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Robert Kirkman is got to be my favorite writer right now everything I've read by him (Battle Pope, Walking Dead, Marvel Zombie's) is just awsome and this is no exception!

This follows up the first book were we learn the new Ant-Man is on the run for stealing Pym's new Ant-Suit. This takes place during what I think is called the civil war marvel story arc, I don't know cause I never read any of that (only picked this up cause of Kirkman and the idea of a crappy superhero), but not knowing any of this never took away me enjoying this book! But now I'm going to start to read the Avengers Inititive just to see what happens to him.

If you liked vol 1 I think you'll like this a little better. It's got everything that makes Kirkman a good writer great character development, action, humor, a little emotion and a couple gross moments!

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun book, with an appealing anti-hero, October 20, 2008

By	Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

In the second volume of "The Irredeemable Ant-Man," the series winds down (darn) and our anti-hero goes through some inevitable character growth (oh, well) and his career goes in some unexpected directions. But along the way, he gets into all kinds of trouble, makes friends with several seeming low-lifes and the Marvel Universe is given several cheerful, teasing tweaks. This is a fun, enjoyable book, worth checking out. (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)
