Wasp #1 shows why this legacy character has been a stalwart in the Marvel Universe

Wasp #1

There is nothing more evil than family enemy. For one person or another family to hate another for no reason other than jealousy or misunderstanding. We often see this type of person within our extended family or people we call friends. This is even more insidious when it’s someone within our immediate family.

I have seen within my immediate and extended family, in the most toxic ways. As I got older and talked to my friends, I found out that it was not isolated to mine, everyone has a version of this within theirs. It is how we work through that, and sometimes it is coming together against a common enemy.  In Wasp #1, we find Janet Van Dyne coming together with her mother to fight an old family enemy.

We find Vernon Van Dyne as an otherworldly being decimates him and where Janet Van Dyne finds the crime scene where her father had been slayed, this is becomes her superhero origin this is when she becomes the Wasp. We fast forward to modern day where Janet is having a conversation with Jarvis, talking about how she is beginning to enjoy her peace, and just how proud of her stepdaughter, Nadia, she is. Meanwhile, back at her family’s lab, where we find her looking into her family history, as some of it had been hidden from her, leaving her yearning for more than what she has. As the mother and daughter try solacing each other, Whirlwind crashes into their lab, looking for revenge. By issue’s end. Phatasma is being used by someone to carry out revenge.

Overall, Wasp #1 is an excellent debut issue that shows why this legacy character has been a stalwart in the Marvel Universe. The story by Ewing is fun. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a story fans will love to get to know.
