What to Read Before Watching Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania

February 10, 2023

As Quantumania approaches, you may be wondering if there’s anything you should read before watching the movie. There are a multitude of comics and graphic novels you can read to gain some insight on all of the characters.

To gain some knowledge of Cassie Lang, you should read the 2005 Young Avengers run. In this run, Cassie first interacts with a team, as she hopes to take up her father’s mantle after his death. Aside from simply being a fun read, this series adds a lot to the character and holds a good portion of her comic screentime.

Both of the 2015 Ant-Man series are important reads before watching the upcoming movie. However, the second series, The Astonishing Ant-Man, follows both Scott and Cassie Lang working together. You can see some good interactions between father and daughter in this series.

With Kang beginning to take his place as the next big Marvel villain, Kang Dynasty is one of the most important series you can read to get more information about him. He also makes important appearances in the 2020 Doctor Doom run by Christopher Cantwell, followed by his own series by Colin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing in 2021.

Don’t forget that there are plenty of recent series also available! The 2022 Timeless one-shot which heavily features Kang released 11/14/2022. Ant-man and the Wasp starred in their own respective series, both by Al Ewing. The Ant-Man collection is already available and the first issue of Wasp released 1/18/2023. All are available to buy or order at your local Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy®!
