For everyone wanting to know more about the ant-sized adventures of Marvel Cinematic Universe's Hank Pym, you can check out the upcoming two-part "Ant-Man Prequel" comic. Newsarama has an interview with writer Will Corona Pilgrim as well as art from Miguel Sepulveda.

"Pym finds himself on a field mission that pits him against a major distinguishing landmark of the Cold War: the Berlin Wall," said Corona Pilgrim. "As a kid growing up near the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library I had the opportunity to check out a fantastic exhibit there, which recreated a tunnel so you could crawl through and experience what it would have been like for those people who attempted to cross such a monstrous barrier. They had the sirens going, the spotlights, all the sounds of gunfire, dogs barking, and guards yelling at you, it was such a trip. And when I learned that Pym would have been doing field missions during that particular point in history, I couldn't think of a more formidable and exciting foe for our hero to go up against!"

SUICIDE SQUAD

Following a press junket for the film "Blackhat," Nerd Report asked Viola Davis about her involvement in Warner Bros.' "Suicide Squad" film.

"I have not started reading [the comics] yet," said Davis. "I've read up about her but I'm working out my schedule for Suicide Squad." Davis' involvement with "Suicide Squad" is said to be contingent on the shooting schedule for her ABC series "How to Get Away with Murder."

"I'm fascinated by her," said Davis. "I'm fascinated by her in this world of superhero-ness because she is not a woman that you would expect. I think that she is a massive contradiction. She's this big powerful black woman, hard, ready to pick up a gun and shoot anyone at will. I'm fascinated in exploring her psychology, just put it that way. And I'm excited to pick up a gun."

Opens on August 5, 2016
