Another so-so series for me

The Astonishing Ant-Man (2015-) #1 - Nick Spencer, Ramon Rosanas, Mark Brooks

I'm trying this because Scott Lang did more for me in the Ant-Man movie than he ever has before, but I'm still not crazy about Lang.   I do like Scott's daughter Cassie, because she dated Vision when they were both in Young Avengers, but here she's normal, with no Pym particles, and there's nary a sign of V.  

 

So pretty much I knew Lang might be a bust for me, and I actually didn't expect to like this as much as I did.  It's mostly the Hench app, an app for super villains/really rich people to find and hire other super villains/people who can do what they can't to assassinate heroes for them.   It's clever, and I like how it kept coming back, especially at the end when Lang's asked to rate the fight he just had. 

 

Some clever ideas, but quite frankly I expected more from Spencer.  I've liked other series he's written, hated the idea he had for Captain America, and this one is just 'meh' for me.   Then again, I really liked some of the later Carnage's even though issue one didn't do much for me, so I'm willing to see if issue two does anything for me at all.
