Well shit, I loved this series.

So this is the origin story. I think sadly I was spoiled by the TV show on Purple man. Getting a reallllll good look into his mind, who he is, broken, and a screwed up piece of shit. This purple man is far more...dark. As in he gives even less of a fucks (if that's possible) about the human life. It truly is remarkable what the TV show did, and it made me not love purple man in here as much (love to hate. Not love him as a good guy, cause he's not, he's a fucking asshole)

So you get a big background feel for Jessica from kid to teen to adult. I thought it was well told for most part. Felt a little rushed at parts but it hit all the emotional parts. The Peter part was the best and made me die laughing. Then we get to the showdown, or meet, with Purple Man. It's both scary, and screwed up, but feels like it gets resolved so quickly. In one issue really. I wish we had a few issues of it.

The ending was really fucking sad for Antman and Jessica. However the very ending actually gives hope. Not I gotta go and read Pulse.

Overall this is dark in it's own way. I think if you love the TV show (like I do) you'll enjoy this volume a lot as well. Another 4/5!
