The plot collapses under contrivances. The villain is taken away by aliens, robbing the hero of a genuine victory. A green ray that should steal intelligence somehow overlooks crucial knowledge, leaving readers with more questions than satisfaction.

A forgettable villain, an awkward role reversal, and a tease of The Mandarin that goes nowhere—this issue stumbles at nearly every turn. The only saving grace? Some creative panel work that gives Giant-Man’s size-changing a bit of flair. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to rescue this lackluster installment.

Tales to Astonish #65 tries to revamp Giant-Man with a new look and abilities, but the result feels uninspired. Without a real threat, the story fails to justify the changes, and the redesign lacks appeal. Instead of saving the hero, this might be the misstep that seals his fate.

Janet Van Dyne, frustrated by Hank Pym’s obsession with his inventions, decides to leave her superhero life behind. However, her plans are thwarted when her plane is captured by the undersea warlord Attuma, who is plotting an attack on the surface world.

The tale starts out this month much like so many comics, in a training routine with Giant-Man pushing and honing his phyiscal capabilities. This is done while the wasp times him and flirts with him. This is ended by the arrival of a police officer who summons our hero’s (or at least Giant-Man, with the…

Right from the cover, we are made aware that in this issue, we will have Giant-Man fights for his life against the Wasp! then on page one, a Big Surprise is revealed to us that “this issues big bad villain learns the secret of Giant-Man’s real identity!” But what do these two bits of promotional…

This Ant-Man and wasp tale features Egghead whom we last seen in issue 57. In this issue he escapes from Jail, and sets out to get revenge on Giant-Man for besting him. As a villion goes it is more about proving himself the superior intellect then anything else at this point for the antagonist. This…

The tale for Giant-Man and the wasp (although just barely) for Tales To Astonish#60 is a communist fighting adventure titled  “The Beast Of Berlin”.  In this tale,  Giant-man goes off alone (after telling her for the first time about how his wife died) to Communist controlled Berlin to rescue a friend captured by the communist…

Having just finished reading Tales To Astonish #59 I find myself asking, who is more the star of this tale,  Giant-Man or Hulk.  You see, up until this Issue, Giant-Man with his side-kick (I almost hate calling wasp a side-kick)  have been the featured hero’s of the series.  As of late often with a Wasp…

For tales To astonish the feature story we have Giant-Man and the The wasp take on Colossus, a giant twice the size of Gaint-Man!  But in this trilling adventure taking place in the made up Bora-Boru Region of Africa, where a group of natives have taken to worshiping the 30 foot tall Colossus, can  Giant man manage to…

It seems in my last several classic comic book reviews, we have seen a lot of Hero Vs. Hero action.  from Spider-Man and the Hulk  to X-Men Vs Fantastic Four, and now Giant-Man and the Wasp face off against Spider-Man.  Every time, we see this kind of action, their are challenges  and concerns that must be…

In this issue, just as the cover promises, we see Giant-Man using his power to his advantage, and then just as the last tale foretold, we get the hint of a looming proposal from hank Pym to Janet van Dyne.   But will this story be as magical as we hope, or just a bunch of tricks? Artwork Dick…
