The Irredeemable Ant-Man #9
In "Love's Lonely Embrace," the latest chapter of The Irredeemable Ant-Man #9, Eric (as the Slaying Mantis) clashes with Dragon Man alongside his new Damage Control allies, while Iron Man pushes Agent Carson to track down the missing Ant-Man armor. As Eric helps Monstro get a fake ID to comply with SHIELD's new registration law, he's forced to confront a personal moment when Abbie tells him she has a son—leading to an abrupt and emotional breakup. Meanwhile, Eric and the Black Fox unwind with a casual game of Wii. Written by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Phil Hester, with inks by Ande Parks, colors by Bill Crabtree, and lettering by Virtual Calligraphy and Rus Wooton, the cover by Phil Hester and Ande Parks captures the issue’s mix of tension and quiet intimacy.
In "Love's Lonely Embrace," Eric O'Grady—still wrestling with his identity as the Slaying Mantis—finds himself caught between duty and desire as he teams up with Monstro under new SHIELD regulations. While Iron Man pushes Agent Carson to track him down, Eric’s fragile connection with Visioneer takes a sudden turn when she reveals she has a son, leaving their relationship hanging in the balance. Meanwhile, a quiet moment playing Wii with the Black Fox offers a brief reprieve from the chaos.
