CBR News: I'm sure Cassie's presence in the book has a lot of people wondering if you're interested in eventually having the her former teammates from the Young Avengers make an appearance in "Ant-Man."
Nick Spencer: Yes, my Tumblr questions are pretty much non-stop about the Young Avengers and whether or not they'll be appearing in the book. What I can say is be patient. Right now at the beginning of the book the focus is very much on Scott and Cassie's relationship and setting up their new status quo. As we go forward, though, you never know.
So the new Ant-Man series has arrived, so let's take a look at a particular scene that caught my attention. Read this to re-familiarize yourself with what has been going on with the character.
So... yeah... that's what's going on with Cassie Lang.

-Hasn't had a massive character regression.
-Is like 8 and hasn't had powers before. So even Scott's attitude towards her, aside from being better handled than it is here, makes sense.

Date: 2015-10-21 06:36 pm (UTC)Scott just comes across as so selfish here. He's doing this to protect his daughter and he still comes across as selfish. He hears Cassie talking about how she feels let down and immediately goes into how painful it is for him. He wishes he could tell her the truth, but he relates that wish to his hurt feelings instead of hers. No acknowledgment at all of the negative impact this is having on her. If he'd done at least that much, noted that she was hurt but that was better than her being in danger, I could forgive him a little. Not much, because I don't see why he can shrink down and follow her around but can't leave her a note explaining, but a little. But, no, it's all about him and how her hating him is better than her being in danger. Ugh.

Date: 2015-10-22 12:01 am (UTC)Plus, I fail to see how a father staying away from his daughter is supposed to protect her. I mean, there's no changing blood.
It's like Spencer mixed the most angstiest parts of the movie into his book, and then dialed them up even worse, forgetting the happy parts.

Date: 2015-10-22 04:29 am (UTC)Yeah, that stuck in my teeth too. People already know who she is. They know how to find her. How does dropping out of her life now make her safer?

Webcomic and indie comic heroes who aren't going to be angst'ed up anytime soon.

Date: 2015-10-22 12:49 am (UTC)Well the wait is over and this is bullshit. They've literally ripped out Cassie heart to give her powers to a shitty villain that no one is taking seriously, and now she's defenseless and feels abandoned by her father and has no idea what kind of danger she's been in and could still be in. Crossfire took her from her school, the Cross family knows who she is, where she is and they have a vendetta against Scott, and he won't even fucking tell her let alone talk to her.
Fuck Scott and his manpain.

Date: 2015-10-24 12:03 am (UTC)I almost wish Peggy hadn't offered, now, and that we'd gotten to see why - that she'd thought about it, but reconsidered after seeing how Scott disappeared from Cassie's life again.
And I wonder how disappointed/upset Dr. Sondheim is feeling now.
