New In Books: Ant-Man: Zombie Repellent (A Mighty Marvel Chapter Book)

New this week from Marvel Press is Ant-Man: Zombie Repellent (A Mighty Marvel Chapter Book), a children's book for kids 8 to 12 years of age.

"Scott Lang, AKA Ant-Man, might be the smallest Super Hero, but he has the biggest heart. At times, though, he doubts how "super" his super power really is when compared to Thor's mighty hammer, Hulk's incredible strength, and Iron Man's fancy, high-tech equipment. Although Scott is not impressed with his talents, he eventually learns to value his skills rather than take them for granted, because no matter how big or small his help is, his teammates always appreciate when Ant-Man gets the job done."

And we'll assume that there are zombie in the mix here somewhere.

Ant-Man: Zombie Repellent is available now in paperback.

And once Elsa finds her, she’s going to have to fight her way back out…"
