Now normally I’m super-excited ANY time we get advance art from Marvel Comics, but this time takes the cake! Check out Newsarama’s story on the upcoming Avengers: The Initiative #20 and see if you can spot the source of my jubilation! (I’ll wait right here while you check).

Did you see it? On the fourth preview page we see what appears to be a flashback detailing Hank Pym’s pre-abduction days and right there, front and center, where the whole world can see them…

Ant-Man and Wasp Minimates! Yup! That means Minimates are now officially part of the Marvel Universe! To be joining the likes of Stephen Colbert, David Letterman, KISS and the 1978 cast of Saturday Night Live - I’m speechless. I’ve always wanted to be in a Marvel Comic and now I kinda sorta maybe-a-little was! What? You didn’t know that the Ant-Man Minimate design was based on me? Huh, guess you learn something new every day.

Did anyone buy that? No? OK. I’ll go back to searching through comic books for hidden messages. Ooo! The new issue of Runaways has a shirt I wore one time! Ah it’s good to be famous
