I understand your feeling. Maybe I'm kinda bias cause I really like the way Ewing "gets characters" and since I love Janet so much this is a completely win for me. But overall it's not as good as Ewing's Ant-Man I agree.
Wasp #3
| Writer | Al Ewing |
| Artist | Nie, Kasia |

Captured by an alliance of their oldest enemies, Janet and Nadia Van Dyne find themselves trapped in a past where a key part of their history - Henry Pym, the Ant-Man - never existed at all.

AIPT - Megan O'Brien
Mar 22, 2023Wasp #3 is another near-perfect installment in Janet van Dyne's premiere solo comic series, giving us some much-needed payoff after the first two issues provided the setup. The fresh perspective on Janet Van Dyne is something I very much appreciate, and I know fans of her character will as well. Read Full Review

Mar 22, 2023Wasp has been another wonderful anniversary celebration from writer Al Ewing for the tiniest Avengers, and artist Kasia Nie alongside colorist KJ Diaz have made it every bit as visually remarkable. Read Full Review

Mar 22, 2023Nie delivers some great visuals in the story. There isn't as much action as the previous issues, but I enjoyed the visual style of the issue and how the environments work in context with the story. Read Full Review

Mar 22, 2023All in all,WASP #3offers an interesting insight into what a modern day Wasp should be viewed as, tying up some loose story lines just before the final chapter begins. It's a perfectly safe series for Wasp fans, and if you aren't onboard yet you definitely should be now. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Mar 22, 2023Wasp #3 gives much needed backstory for the villain of the story and how Janet and Nadia Van Dyne factor into things. In the process Al Ewing and Kasia Nie do a excellent job at showcasing how strong Janet and Nadia are. The way Wasp #3 ends it sets up the finale to this series to be one that further strengthens Janet and Nadia's characters for the future. Read Full Review

As we dive more into the respective altered pasts of Janet and Nadia, we get my favorite issue yet of this miniseries. This felt like a step above the past two issues, in my opinion. We get to connect more with Janet and Nadia by seeing their earlier days in this alternate world while Ewing also interestingly advances the present-day plot with the Creature from Kosmos. Plus, Nie's art is really good once again.

This alternate-reality digression is a lot slower and darker than the previous chapters, but not in a bad way. The change in tone is amply balanced by an intricate blend of plot development, character exploration, and AU world-building. The art continues to do formidable storytelling work--although this is probably not the series' strongest issue, visually speaking.

This is solid. The fact that it's not as good as the Ant-Man series still kind of casts a shadow over it for me, but it's telling a very different story. One that I'm just not as intrigued by.
