That's right, 'The Wasp' is back (and just in time for Marvel Studios' planned Ant-Man movie). By the sounds of it, Janet didn't technically "die", although it certainly looked that way when Thor was forced to destroy her after the Skrulls turned her into a giant bomb in Secret Avengers. What really happened? Well, you'll have to pick up the issue to find out...

lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooo
Greengo - 10/24/2012, 2:38 PM
I sense a train coming.
LMB10 - 10/24/2012, 2:40 PM
well, we now know to expect Wasp in the MCU soon.
Shua - 10/24/2012, 2:46 PM
wow that art... her design is awful and those kisses with Thor and Cap look WAY too romantic! That is really awkward. Glad to have the character back but man thats messes up :)
marvel72 - 10/24/2012, 2:46 PM
she's been dead a while,well longer than most characters.

died in 2008 during the secret invasion came back in 2012.
luckylu - 10/24/2012, 2:50 PM
damn she knows how to get around
StarSpangledBruce - 10/24/2012, 2:51 PM
I would have posted the clip of the Master shouting "Never dying!" for this particular instance, unfortunately I'm not able to embed the code for the video.

Go figure.
Egan - 10/24/2012, 2:52 PM
[frick]ing Bendis. Surprised she stayed dead for so long.
jimoakley666 - 10/24/2012, 2:54 PM
Get ready for a lame contrivance that will be forgotten as if nothing ever happened. And when ever anyone brings it up in the future, Marvel will still their fingers in their ears and go "lalalalalalalaaaaaa-can't-hear-you-lalalalalalalalaaaaaa...." etc.
ATrueHero1987 - 10/24/2012, 2:55 PM
lmafo! Well Janet is back! Like someone said, just in time for the Ant-Man movie....so is the Ant-Man movie going to be about Hank Pym??
theInvincibleMexiMan - 10/24/2012, 2:57 PM
Captain America looks way too happy about kissing Jan :b
marantaz - 10/24/2012, 2:57 PM
Who drew this crap? Some bad Gil Kane wannabe? Yuk. Goliath/Antman/whateverhescallednow looks like a porno actor trying to hump her from a distance; her navel lines up with her right thigh like her middle has a mind of its own; and she throws the weapon at them... wthm? YUK!
GUNSMITH - 10/24/2012, 2:57 PM
SHES PROBABLY ONE OF THE HOTTEST SHORT HAIRED GIRL IN COMICS.
imnotahero - 10/24/2012, 2:57 PM
Yay, Useless McGee is still alive.
sianirudh94 - 10/24/2012, 2:57 PM
And this is why people are hesitant in picking up super hero comics. No consistency with "deaths". *sigh* As much as I love Marvel and DC...this is just...retarded.
UniBeam11 - 10/24/2012, 2:59 PM
Come on, lets not complain. We all knew she was either coming back someday or she was never dead in the first place and my money was always on the latter, so why the complaints? You guys have to admit that if we kept reading comics where no one ever died, we would start to realize that the stakes in these comics are never high enough and then thats what we would complain about. Yeah, heroes have to die in the comics or it becomes even more boring because we know theyll always make it out on top. Iconic characters dont just dissipate and never come back. Lets not start whinning.
SmellofDuty - 10/24/2012, 2:59 PM
What a whore. She just shows up and kisses four guys...
xeno - 10/24/2012, 2:59 PM
Yay, Jan! Kissing the boys is totally in character for Jan. If I'd been "dead" for years I would kiss every hunky guy in sight, too. Now bring on The Wasp in the MCU!
MJPETTY7 - 10/24/2012, 2:59 PM
Wait, why did she kiss Thor and Cap like that? Not only am I confused, but I probably won't pick this up... lol
PantherX - 10/24/2012, 3:00 PM
Had to happen at some point I guess. Welcome back Jan!
polarkyle - 10/24/2012, 3:02 PM
I don't know about you guys but I'm happy shes back
ATrueHero1987 - 10/24/2012, 3:03 PM
I've said before that she was coming back but I thought it would've been during AvX.
SageMode - 10/24/2012, 3:22 PM
Ummmmmm, why is she tongueing down Thor and Cap like that?
..........
LegacyFilms - 10/24/2012, 3:30 PM
The Avengers will be Eskimo Bros.
Spidey91 - 10/24/2012, 3:32 PM
Tony must be like "f*cking helmet" :P
SpideyQuad - 10/24/2012, 3:36 PM
Maybe Felicia Day can play her!
luffycapri - 10/24/2012, 3:40 PM
Didn't know she was dead ?
acidbath - 10/24/2012, 3:43 PM
xeno i truely truely hope you are a lady otherwise...ughhh

mmusicman - 10/24/2012, 3:43 PM
AND... I'm still waiting for Mar-Vell to return from the dead. Though, I hope he wouldn't be kissing the rest of the Avengers.
hush - 10/24/2012, 3:43 PM
Didn't even know she was dead.

Artwork is absolutely horrible.
IronManny819 - 10/24/2012, 3:52 PM
*Sigh*
cmax - 10/24/2012, 3:53 PM
Janet has always been a MAJOR flirt and her kissing all the fellas is completely within her character to do so. Also keep in mind these are 3 friends she has known for ages.

I love these pages. I hate Bendis... [frick]ing HATE him but once in a while he gets it right.
caveman - 10/24/2012, 3:53 PM
Team skank.
FlixMentallo21 - 10/24/2012, 3:58 PM
(A la Dr. Frankenstein) She's ALIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!
TankD - 10/24/2012, 4:00 PM
whata hoe
maxxgone - 10/24/2012, 4:03 PM
THIS is why agent coulson's death in the MCU is so very important gang. life and death mean nothing in the books, so we need some shred of integrity from the films.

ps - there's a cold sore joke to be said somewhere in there but i dont have the juice today...somebody wanna take the reigns?
AlcoholicA - 10/24/2012, 4:09 PM
Of course she's alive......of course she didn't die in the Skrull invasion....

of course....


Also Dat ASS
soundwave129 - 10/24/2012, 4:14 PM
HELL NO! Wasp's death was the best thing to happen to Hank Pym's character in years. And now, "Oh she was never dead at all!"
GoILL - 10/24/2012, 4:14 PM
LOL at all the Dat Ass comments.
imnotwearinghockeypants - 10/24/2012, 4:19 PM
Tarded.
IronHood - 10/24/2012, 4:21 PM
The original female avenger is back! So excited!! :D Hope she's on the new relaunch Avengers marvel now team! I do agree it's a little weird to open mouth kiss Thor & Cap but hey she's been gone since 2009 & who knows how many years in the marvel universe... So she really missed her team-mates. Who cares, just be glad she's back! To the haters, Shut up! She's not useless. She's an iconic character that's been around since the 1960's. Your just a jealous, worthless, meaningless piece of crap.
Lizardking310 - 10/24/2012, 4:21 PM
typical marvel. next hank pym returns to be ant man if he isnt already
Deadpool17 - 10/24/2012, 4:22 PM
I missed Janet. Now the entire original Avengers roster are all alive at the same time again. Yes. All is right in the world.
Fray - 10/24/2012, 4:29 PM
I skipped the whole Skrull event so I didn't even know she "died". Well...I'm glad she got better.
OrganizedChaos - 10/24/2012, 4:30 PM
well damn, guess Wasp is going to sleep with every member in the Avengers
CoulsonLives - 10/24/2012, 4:36 PM
Welcome back Janet!!!
superpooper - 10/24/2012, 4:51 PM
Lol...she's one that could've stayed dead. Of all the super powers you could have, SHRINKING has to be about the lamest. I would feel totally cheated if everyone else could do all this awesome shit and all I could do was shrink down to the size of an insect. Yeah. Off to save the world...hold on, gotta shrink first! Dumb. That's why Antman is so dumb and that movie is going to stink. Shrinking only works in comedies. Whatever.
sciencefriction - 10/24/2012, 4:52 PM
Ha, Marvel b/s retcons. Oh well, I love Wasp so I really don't care how or why, I'm glad she's back and that this hopefully means she'll be in Ant-Man.
XavierLehnsherr - 10/24/2012, 5:10 PM
Xavier's gonna come back the exact same way when the First Class movie sequel hits theaters.

He's just gonna come out of nowhere and start making out with all of the X-Men.
