"But they'll be stopped... by a mere rubber band and some thread, among other things!"
This, as with previous issues of Tales to Astonish, is one of several tales in what is an anthology book. Henry Pym is back, after an initial appearance that I suspect was intended both as a one off and not really as a superhero concept. This time, though, he has a costume, and a headset that lets him control ants(!) to the point of actually riding the things.
I won't say much about the actual threat- yep, it's communists- but, well, the newly coined Ant-Man is not exactly an alpha superhero, simply being able to shrink and control ants. Some of the consequences of this are well thought through, though, such as a character instinctively trying to rub him off his skin, feeling that unpleasant sensation we all do when we've an insect on our arm.
There isn't much to this, really, the character feels a bit generic, and I'm not sure how much mileage there is in the concept. Still, we'll see. And the cover is simply great.
