So What's The Deal with Ant-Man?

We ran a poll on Cinematical asking readers for their most anticipated Marvel title and Ant-Man came in dead last. Seems a lot of people aren't all too familiar with the character, and so the mighty (and geeky) Elisabeth Rappe came to the rescue with this fantastic beginner's guide:

On Monday, my esteemed colleague Peter Martin ran a poll asking just which Marvel movie / character you were most excited to see onscreen. As of Tuesday morning, Ant-Man was actually winning, prompting Erik Davis to ask me if I'd put together a guide to this offbeat Avenger. Or did he ask me because Ant-Man was dead last, as he is right now? I can't remember -- it was 7am and I hadn't slept because I plan to do that when I'm dead ... but hey, whatever the reason, now you'll have an Ant-Man guide!

As you know, Ant-Man has attracted the talents of Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz).
