Overall a really fun read.

This book is broke down in five sections
1. Ant-Man and The Wasp Living Legends
Story is utter crapola.
2. Guardians of the Galaxy Team-up #7
Really fun team up with Drax that kept me laughing.
3. Ant-Man and the Wasp 1-5
The best story in this book, one of the only times where I really loved Scott Lang's Ant-Man.
4. The Giant-Men 1-3
Another good story and the best artwork out of all of them.
5. Ant-Man 1-5
A pretty good story here with Scott's Ant-Man and his daughter as Stinger. Worst art in the book.

This probably could have been at least two separate volumes - there's multiple full-length stories here that felt stuffy back-to-back.

I was not familiar with the later escapades of Scott Lang as Ant-Man or the War of the Realms storyline as Giant-Man (along with the other Giant Men) nor I didn't have many encounters with Stinger (except the old Stinger from the Amazing Spider-Man storylines. This collection was kind of a treat. It was nice to see Scott Lang's adventures after 2015 in the comic world.

Some of the stories were interesting (his five issue adventure with Janet Van Dyne) and his insect fighting story with his daughter Cassie.

They were fun, not too enlightening in his character, but they still like to make him stupid (I mean he isn't -- he is an engineer--but still they make his heroics more like accidents. I love that he has humor and I wish that he could be less of an embarrassing hero in the comics.

Fun to read.

The Giant-Man issues were surprisingly great, and I really liked the 2020 mini, very cool art, and had a cool villain you would never see on a movie
