Reception

Critical response

Kwame Opam of The Verge found that Marvel's Ant-Man captures Ant-Man's "quirkiness perfectly," writing, "The shorts have a Silver Age, Jack Kirby-esque feel to them, thanks to the sharp animation style and Lang’s constant quips. Lang is a natural swashbuckler here."[6] Bradley Prom of Screen Rant included Marvel's Ant-Man in their "9 Best Superhero Shorts Like I Am Groot" list, saying,, Many of the best shorts implement some unique artistic styles and designs. That’s certainly the case for Ant-Man as its looks more like a visual comic book than other animated series. [...] There are only six episodes of this short-lived series, with each only being around two minutes long, but there surely could have been more given the quality and comedic elements. "[7]
