"Mister, even when that guy fails, he wins."
Fortunately, it's just a ho-hum Ant-Man story with a one-off villain and that repeats some of his tropes. Very ordinary criminal giving himself a supervillain name and costume for some reason? Yep. Said supervillain turning out to have been the person who needed help in the first place? Yep. Blatant use of Chekhov's gun, with both the gas mask Pym is working on and the Inca statues being very relevant indeed to the plot? Yep.
This issue feels very perfunctory and phoned in, and is as skippable as they come. Ant-Man gets a bit of unnecessary harsh criticism when he develops his obviously feigned appendicitis, mind- if you happen to become ill, you haven't "failed"! And that gas mask looks scarily like a translucent plastic bag to me- don't try this at home, kids.
