Ant-Man / Giant-Man Epic Collection #2

In "The Beasts of Berlin!", Hank Pym ventures into East Berlin during the Cold War to rescue his old friend Lee, who's been taken by Soviet forces. With his dual mastery of Ant-Man and Giant-Man size-shifting, Hank infiltrates a secret facility where the enemy is using a mysterious ray to turn apes into hyper-intelligent beasts.

In "Now Walks the Android," Egghead turns a mundane clothing store mannequin into a towering, menacing android, using it to challenge Giant-Man in a battle of brute force and cunning. Lured by a tantalizing offer of a TV series celebrating his heroics—though really just Jan’s idea of turning Hank into a celebrity—Giant-Man walks into the trap, unaware of the mechanical menace waiting to be unleashed.

When Hank Pym accidentally knocks himself out during a lab experiment, a petty thief steals his Giant-Man suit and starts using its powers for criminal gain—forcing the real Giant-Man to confront a dangerous imposter who’s now wielding his size-shifting tech for chaos.

When Jo snaps at Jan for a clumsy mistake in the lab, Jan flees in tears, seeking distance on a solo flight—only to be captured by Attuma during his latest assault on the surface world. Haunted by regret, a remorseful Giant-Man must now race to save her before the underwater tyrant’s plans come to full fruition.

In "The New Giant-Man," Hank Pym puts his latest invention to the test—expanding his Giant-Man powers to manipulate size in objects beyond his own body—while Jan van Dyne takes it as her cue to craft a fresh, functional suit to match his evolving abilities.

In "The Mystery of the Hidden Man, and his Rays of Doom!", a bizarre alien menace with ray-based powers and a henchman named Loko sets his sights on stealing Giant-Man’s size-shifting abilities—only to be thwarted when his own planet’s authorities intervene. Meanwhile, the Wasp discovers a surprising new way to keep pace with her giant ally, mastering the art of riding a bee into action.

When Hank Pym decides to lock himself into Giant-Man size to protect his body from the toll of constant size-shifting, he’s forced to rethink his partnership with Jan. With Ant-Man powers off the table, he reprograms her helmet to link with wasps, opening a new frontier of teamwork. But even as they adapt, a new threat emerges—literally from the past—when the Human Top reappears, ready to challenge them both.

In "Oh, Wasp, Where Is Thy Sting?", Giant-Man faces a desperate mission to rescue the Wasp from the Human Top, forcing him to shrink once more into Ant-Man size—risking his body's limits in the process. The story hinges on a tense, high-stakes rescue where size and strength are no longer guarantees, and every move counts.

In "Hellstorm," Ant-Man, still trapped at shrinking size, returns to his lab only to reunite with Jan, who helps him uncover the cause of his condition—just as Whirlwind attacks, aiming to kidnap her. When the villain escapes, Jan takes a risky step, ingesting the anti-dote and shrinking too, forcing them to work together on a cure. As Whirlwind returns with a stolen deoxygenating gun and sets the house ablaze, the pair barely escape, only to be declared dead by the news.

In Los Angeles, Bill Foster, now operating as Black Goliath, leads a Stark Industries research team while secretly battling a string of radium thefts—leading him to confront Atom-Smasher and his gang in a high-stakes clash of size and strength.

In "Dance to the Murder!", Jo and her team face a sudden, brutal turn when Black Goliath defeats Atom-Smasher—only for the villain to be killed by unseen hands. As Vulcan and his men storm the Stark lab, chaos erupts, leaving Foster’s employees injured and a policeman dead in their wake.

When Stilt-Man’s Z-Ray theft triggers a mysterious disappearance, Tony Stark finds himself caught between secrecy and urgency—unable to share the truth with Bill, even as Celia Jackson and her nephew Keith vanish without a trace. The chaos unfolds in a pulse-pounding clash of tech, size, and unseen forces, where one man’s invention sets off a chain of events no one saw coming.

In "Survival!", Black Goliath, Celia, and her nephew find themselves stranded on the alien world of Kirgar, where they’re briefly aided by a peaceful native before the arrival of the deadly robot Mortag changes everything. The story unfolds with tense urgency as the trio must navigate a hostile environment and the sudden threat of a relentless machine.

In "The Shadow from the Stars," Black Goliath steps in to save the Champions' sky-car mid-crash, revealing he designed the vessel—only to uncover a dangerous flaw in its construction. With the team on the move across Arizona, they join forces with Hawkeye and the Two-Gun Kid to confront the Warlord Kaa and his alien shadow forces. Back in Los Angeles, a mysterious girl arrives at the Champions base with a stolen box once belonging to the Stranger, setting off a new chain of events as the Stilt-Man infiltrates the base in search of it.

In Los Angeles, the Champions and Black Goliath face off against Stilt-Man, only to be interrupted by the sudden arrival of the Stranger, who reveals the fleeing criminal was carrying the Null-Life Bomb. As the device begins to swell with terrifying energy, the Stranger vanishes inside it while teleporting the team to a strange, hostile realm—where they’re immediately set upon by Kamo Tharnn and his Beast-Men.

In "The Doom That Went on Forever!", the Stranger races against time inside the ever-expanding Null-Life Bomb, while the Champions unravel a mystery that ties their mission to a forgotten artifact—the Runestaff. With the help of Darkstar and a crucial piece of history involving Hercules and Thor, they must find a way to stop the bomb’s endless growth before it consumes everything.
