Marvel Avengers Ant-Man: Look Out for the Little Guy

It took me a minute to be like is this Paul Rudd? I not super informed on the Avengers, but I know many people are and I am beyond excited to share this one with readers, I will be adding much more thoughts here soon!

The book you didn’t know you needed! But you do. Seriously. Read it! You will not be prepared for the knowledge and truth bombs that our eminent and most favourite Ant guy will bestow upon you.

‘Look out for the little guy’ is written so well with a great balance of humour and honestly thought provoking introspection. Scott Lang reminisces on his time in prison and his exploits with VistaCorp fighting the good fight but going down for the crime. To his regrets with Cassie and just little things like yano, saving the world.

And of course his time with the avengers. Be prepared for some behind the scenes sneaks to some of the epic kickass adventures we’ve all heard about and watched on TV. He brings his own perspective to a lot of his encounters (such as what it’s like to be body slammed by Black Widow) and some really touching tributes to those lost along the way. I was not expecting for this book to hit me all in the feels.

Who would have thought it, Scott Lang, big small guy who talks to ants and occasionally having a hand in saving the world, writing a book that may or may not blow your mind. I loved it and enjoyed every single page.

Ok one of my favourite bits of Quantomania was Scott Lang – AKA Ant-Man, listening to the audiobook – which he narrated – of his own biographical work. So I was really excited to see this. The book did not disappoint (I really hope there’s an audio version!). It was fun and amusing, and reinforced the light hearted con-man turned superhero as one of my favourite Marvel superheroes. Really enjoyable slightly tongue in cheek entertainment.

Look Out For The Little Guy - Ant-Man's revealing memoir. Not quite sure what I expected, but this book was a vague recap of the MCU films told in Scott Lang's amusing and irreverent style, with a little bit of life advice thrown in. Overall a fun, short read, although the ending dragged a bit.

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

A fun read perfect for all fans of the MCU. This gives that little more insight into the character and I loved seeing the links between the stories.

When watching Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the film where this book is first mentioned, I thought to myself 'oh, that would be fun to be able to read that' and lo and behold, we are now here: I've read it, and it was fun.

I enjoyed being able to dive more in to Scott's psyche and seeing the 'behind the scenes' on certain events, and his feelings of them. I got overwhelmed with tears especially in the scenes where he reminisces about Natasha Romanov, aka Black Widow.

However, and I know this is a 'memoir', meaning they go over peoples memories, this one felt way too much of a recap of the Infinity Saga. Good for people who may be behind/not watched everything, but a bit tedious for me who has watched it all. It just felt like it was going over the events in a sterile way, something I could expect to read by googling '[insert mcu film name] recap' so that was a bit of a shame. While there were parts where Scott warned the reader of this, because he 'wasn't there' I found the writing of the events flat, and I think the memoir could've spent time focusing somewhere else.

Also, I know the MCU style of humour has been under criticism for a while (most of the time with good reason, for example the fat Thor jokes in Endgame were completely awful and I don't know why the Russo's thought that was funny), more so recently with the latest films. However, for the most part, I do find the films funny (not when it's like the example I've given). But in this book, without the Paul Rudd wit, it just wasn't funny? I barely found this book humorous. I think this perhaps could work better as an audiobook, especially if narrated by Rudd, to really get the jokes across.

Unexpectedly, this book had some really lovely messages for the reader - about cherishing time, making the most of life . . . and to just be a good, and kind person. It was nice to read.

All in all, this was an interesting read and I, for the most part, enjoyed it.

Look Out for the Little Guy is a novel about Scott Lang, also known as Ant-Man, from the Marvel comics/movies. What is unique and fun about this book is that the author writes as though they were Scott Lang themselves, and the book is a sort of mock-autobiography, which is quite unusual but really worked well! I loved finding out what ‘Ant-Man’ had been thinking during certain scenes in the movies he was in, and what happened surrounding these events. It was a great book and featured frequently asked questions sections, photographs of the different characters, and the occasional note from another person, for example, Scott’s daughter, with a story about her dad. I would definitely recommend this to any fans of Marvel/Avengers/Ant-Man or simply anyone interested in a fun superhero story which is made to seem like a hero’s autobiography.

I was genuinely surprised to find this absurdly charming! Engaging voice and a fun recap of the film saga for anyone looking for a little more MCU in their life.

It had to happen, in fact I’m surprised it wasn’t published earlier. Scott Lang’s actions in the past have tiptoed on both sides of the law. His memoir is an amusing yarn covering his experience as a criminal with a heart of gold, the landmark moments in recent Avengers history and his small (and large) place in them.

On the hero side, it’s perfect for Marvel fans who can’t get enough of the MCU. It’s a clever way to break the fourth wall. With it’s tongue is firmly in it’s cheek, including fun panels with FAQ’s that will make you chuckle Slightly villainous is the retail price as I think it’s too high for the content as it’s not a long book and has some larger than necessary photos.

Overall, it’s a pleasant way to spend some time in a meta kinda way with a superhero.

A really comical read, perfectly taking on the tone of beloved Marvel character, Scott Lang.

Scott takes us on a journey of his origin story, learning to be the hero his daughter needs, and his adventures with the Avengers. The writing here is so true to character, you wouldn’t be surprised if Marvel told you Paul Rudd had written it all himself!

This is such a fun little book to have on your shelf as a Marvel fan in general, and a fun conversation starter for those unfamiliar with the hero.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this eARC of 'Look Out for the little guy!' By Scott Lang.

'Look Out For The Little Guy!' Is essentially a memoir by one of our favourite Marvel superheroes - Antman aka Scott Lang. I loved this lighthearted memoir that explains him and his story. I'll be honest, I still haven't watched Quantamania yet even though it came out on my birthday so I am lacking the big context of the movie but honestly, you don't need to watch the newest movie to read this.

If you’ve seen the film Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, you’ll have heard the character of Scott Lang, played by Paul Rudd, reading extracts from his memoir, Look Out for the Little Guy. This is your chance to read the rest of the book.

We’re essentially treated to a walk-through of the first two Ant Man Films, Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: End Game from the point of the view of Scott Lang. Don’t expect any groundbreaking revelations, but this is an entertaining enough read.

A fun addition to the collection of any Marvel Fan.

Thank you to NetGalley and Igloo Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Perfect for fans of MCU but mainly Ant Mans fans, especially those who have seen Ant Man and the Wasp. Great tie in to go with the fictional memoir explained in the film. The cover is great, it's always a positive experience to see Paul Rudd.

The book I'd been waiting to read since watching 'Quantumania' earlier in the year! 'Scott's' account is just as funny as you would expect and, while a little on the jokey side, the short length of the book suits the subject matter well - perfect to enjoy in a single sitting before or after a rewatch!

Thank you to Igloo Books and NetGalley for this early access copy.

I am a huge marvel fan, and have watched every marvel production to date, Including the new Ant-Man film.
This book is a great, fun, short read that any marvel or Ant-Man fan will thoroughly enjoy reading. With many light hearted moments, it is like having a chat with Scott Lang himself.
There are many cannon answers to questions throughout the book.
I very much enjoyed reading this.

It made my smile souch when I heard this was actually going to be a physical release! Very much on the jokey side but at a shorter length (making it much more accessible), this is one for all the MCU fans out there.

Everyone's favourite Ant-Man, Scott Lang, shares his struggles and triumphs from being an ex-con unable to find work to joining the Avengers and quite literally saving the world from Thanos and the Blip!
Publication Date UK - 30th Sept

📖 As a lifelong passionate @marvelstudios fan, getting to read an ARC copy of this book has been a dream and I'm so appreciative of all the support from this Bookstagram community!

📖 Hilarious, heartfelt and exactly what you would expect from a book written by Scott Lang a.k.a Ant-Man.

📖 Actually quite inspirational throughout but with plenty of tongue-in-cheek humour characteristic of the character. I could his exact tone of voice in my mind as I was reading and I think it would make an awesome audiobook!

📖 Loved the FAAMQs (Frequently Asked Ant-Man Questions) - they broke up the chapters delightfully.

📖 It made me emotional reading about the battle with Thanos and Iron Man's sacrifice. Heartbreaking to watch, tear-inducing to read!

💫 Thank you to Marvel, Igloo Books and NetGalley for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A fun tie in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I hope this gets an audiobook. An enjoyable read following Scott’s story and his advice.

An absolute must read for Marvel fans!

This book was such a joy to read. I expected it to be full of nothing but witty one liners and sarcasm. But I was proven wrong. In the best way possible.

As a long term Marvel fan (films, characters and the comics/graphic novels) I was so excited when I was granted access to this ARC copy of Marvel Avengers Ant-Man: Look Out For The Little Guy. So thank you so much for the opportunity. It is very much appreciated.

Also, thank you on behalf of Marvel fans for a well written timeline of events from Scott Lang's point of view. It was a great trip down memory lane to be able to experience the magic of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a completely different yet creative way.

The writer of this book embodies the character of Scott Lang so well, I could literally hear Paul Rudd's voice in my head as I was reading it. I absolutely love that this is the exact book that Scott Lang refers to in the film Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantumania, word for word!

In all honesty this book didn't just give me joy but it also gave me some tears while reading it too. There were some very heartfelt farewells to certain heroes and the letter to Cassie Lang was just so beautiful. As a parent myself, this really tugged on the heartstrings.

I absolutely loved every second of this book and I cannot wait to purchase a physical copy when it is released.

Loved this book. I'm such a Marvel fan and when I realised that this book had been written I couldn't wait to read it. I laughed and reminisced about the movies and it reminded me of some things I'd forgotten about. If you don't know the movies you'll struggle with some insider jokes but nonetheless a good read.

I love all the Marvel films and when I saw that this book was actually real, I knew I had to read it!
Scott Lang, AKA Ant Man, has written a book about his life and his time with the avengers and it is full of advice and anecdotes that makes you feel as if he is talking straight to you. This is a brilliant book perfect for fans of Marvel and superheroes and it was fun to get the inside snippets and a perspective from a superhero on various missions.

So this is a weird one to review, it's a memoir from Scott Lang in the context of the Marvel Universe.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the book but I love Marvel so figured would give it a go.

It's Scott telling the story covering the Ant Man movies, Civil War and End Game so there's a bit of going over those events and wee insights into what part Scott played. It also comes across a bit self helpy and introspective, with Scott reflecting on the impact of the decisions he made along the way and how these affected his life.

Moral of the story, you're never too small (or big) to make an impact.

Thanks to NetGalley and Igloo books for the chance to read and review this book early

This was just such a fun read! Scott’s narrative/perspective is just so entertaining I loved reading it.

It was fun to read more about his perspective through the Marvel movies/universe, and just made for an enjoyable and comical read a long!
