CommentsSeems like that panel has gotten some traction in the last decade since an Avengers cartoon used it and I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel Studios does something with it.

Posted by: Erik Robbins | May 8, 2016 9:45 PM That "Ant-man rides Hawkeye's arrow" tactic was a super-move in Marvel vs Capcom 3 Posted by: Jon Dubya | May 8, 2016 10:10 PM Now, I wouldn't want to spoiler anything...:-D Posted by: Cecil | May 8, 2016 11:12 PM I've always found funny the panel where Hawkeye and Ant-Man catch up to Taskmaster and Tasky says in a startled manner "Hawkeye? A-And Ant-Man?" That may be the only time (to my knowledge) in Ant-Man's history, going back to when Hank Pym first donned the helmet and antennae, that Ant-Man inspired fear/nervousness in anyone, particularly a badass foe like the Taskmaster. Wish there was a scan of that, but oh well. Posted by: Brian Coffey | January 29, 2018 12:59 PM In addition to the "Ant-Man on the arrow" panel sequence, the cover to #223 features a closer view of Hawkeye prepared to fire with Ant-Man crouched on the arrowhead and the tagline "When Ant-Man and Hawkeye join forces.... SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET IT!" This is a cover I believe can be sarely tucked in the "so silly it's still cool" category. Posted by: Brian Coffey | January 29, 2018 1:14 PM Don't know if I should've said surely or safely tucked, but either works better than the "sarely" I initially typed! Posted by: Brian Coffey | January 29, 2018 1:16 PM I like to think Taskmaster was stuttering because he was struggling to remember who Ant-Man was. Of course, with his memory issues, that's not quite the burn it might otherwise be. Posted by: Andrew | January 29, 2018 1:49 PM Both Mego style Hawkeye and Marvel Legends Hawkeye include an arrow with ant Man attached to them...
