Just in time for Ant-Man and the Wasp to hit theaters, Spidey teams up with Ant-Man and… Hawkeye?!

Marvel Super Hero Adventures seems to currently be the only running family-friendly comic put out by the company at this moment, but it is a solidly enjoyable one. Jim McCann, with artists Dario Brizuela and Chris Sotomayor this month, bring an adventure featuring some of the better known legacy characters Marvel has: Hawkeye and Ant-Man.

While out on patrol, Spidey gets a phone call from Stinger, Cassie Lang. The Ant-Man that is her dad, Scott, has been captured while trying to take down crooks who stole some weapons. While investigating the skyscraper Scott vanished at, Kate Bishop also swings in. Now with two heroes in tow, Spider-Man has to face the threat that took out Scott Lang: the Taskmaster!

This is a pretty cute story, with a lesson focused on teamwork. McCann has a solid handle on how Spidey and his amazing friends should act, and the simplification to make them more openly family-friendly works really well. The climax is a little cliche, but there are times where the cliches work. This is one of them.

The art style for this book remains that weird semi-kid style, looking like a slightly more grown up version of the Marvel Super Heroes characters. It works surprisingly well, but the art style does have a problem when it comes to major action scenes. While there are still some great moments, you shouldn’t be expecting high-octane action out of this one.

If you’re looking for a great book to read to the kids at bedtime, this is a great comic to pick up.
