FANTASTIC FOUR

Across his many adventures big and small, Scott has gathered the wisdom of countless amazing experiences into this, the first memoir from a real-life Avenger. Once you learn the unforgettable details of his epic journey, you won’t need to be reminded…to look out for the little guy. Look Out for The Little Guy! is the in-movie memoir by Scott Lang, also known as Ant-Man, that he’s written and shared with the world, as seen onscreen in Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Hyperion Avenue is proud to bring this book to real life. Peter Parker is still learning the ropes—er, webs?—as Spider-Man, and he has a new partner in crime-fighting in his new girlfriend MJ Watson. But having someone who knows his secret makes this high school romance more complicated, not less—especially when a mysterious social media account starts alerting Peter to crimes before they happen. But is it just a smokescreen for a new villain, pulling Spider-Man’s strings—er, webs? Nevertheless, the concept of Prime Earth, the cosmic horrors like Galactus, the many levels of cosmic power, the most notable superheroes from Asgard to the team-ups, the characters drawn from both science and magic and the great space adventures are all well covered.The second book in the hit Young Prince series from Ronald L. Smith, recipient of the 2016 Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe New Talent Author Award. Of course, the effort eventually becomes almost insane by the time that we get to the last section ('Alternate Worlds and Divergent Timelines'). Even the authors recognise that having so many heroes constantly die and be revived and having so many variants is taking credibility to the limit. While in the large book, it feels like a solid re-telling and even celebration of old Spidey, here it is a brief blow-by-blow account of his appearances in various crises where he fought with six heroes and against eight villians as each is named with a common spliced sentence. Each important event in his life gets a sentence. So it goes for almost every entry.
