So…what’s an Ant-Man gotta do to get his own title these days?

It’s hard to imagine he hasn’t already done it. Both Ant-Man and Doctor Strange are titles that have been teased quite a bit lately, and with a new Avengers-themed initiative and movies in active development, it’s nearly impossible to imagine that they won’t be announced soon.

That’s the miniserises that gives us the covers staggered throughout this story, which hails from writer Daniel Way and artist Clayton Crain (who’s currently selling out Rai every month for Valiant). It’s one of those books that seemingly fell into limbo, and it’s entirely possible that it’s either not dont or at least not publishable for some reason not easily foreseen.

Who might do such a series? Well, there is a running joke between Marvel’s Axel Alonso and his buddies at Comic Book Resources that perhaps Warren Ellis could take on the book.

“Warren is taking a bit of a breather in 2012, but he assures me he intends to write more for us once his schedule frees up,” Alonso told a fan who asked what was next for the writer way back when Ellis left Secret Avengers. “Thus far, he has politely declined my offer to redefine the science of the Marvel Universe in the pages of an all-new Ant-Man ongoing series — ‘Ant-Man is bull$#$,’ I think he said — but I haven’t given up hope.”

Well, Ellis DID just leave Moon Knight…!
