Hank had a run of stories that were wonderful one-offs having all kinds of fun with the concept of shrinking down and commanding ants. They felt much lighter and more whimsical than other stories of the era -- they were almost camp. Of course, they couldn't last. The Wasp came in, and that was great because we got to add a little Nick and Nora Charles to it, completely inappropriate as that was, have a pair of goofballs instead of just one. Then Hank became Giant-Man, and, okay, it's starting to get a little... and then Giant-Man got a new hat... and then Sub-Mariner took his spot, and from there, it's a pretty well-charted course to ignominy and ruin. So I am a huge fan of this one, tiny, fleeting instant of the original Ant-Man, and I thought it'd be fun to do a riff on that. -- Al Ewing
