As he struggles to survive in a world turned monstrous, he must decide what to do with a power that could reshape the world—or destroy it.

In "Betrayed by the Ants!!", a scientist working for a gang of crooks attempts to turn Ant-Man’s own army of ants against him, hoping to trap the hero and claim victory. But when the ants remain loyal to Ant-Man, his plan unravels in a tense showdown that tests both wit and the bond between hero and his tiny allies.

In "Prisoner of the Slave World!", Henry Pym is captured and forced to help build a super-weapon for a tyrant ruling a distant dimension. Trapped and outnumbered, he uses his wits and the power of his shrinking suit to slip away and strike back as Ant-Man.

In "The Voice of Doom!", a radio announcer gains a hypnotic voice from radiation and sets his sights on Ant-Man, using his powers to turn crowds against the hero.

In "The Mad Master of Time!", a disgraced scientist, driven by bitterness over his forced retirement, unleashes a device that can artificially age anyone at will, threatening to age the entire city into ruin. When Ant-Man’s attempt to stop him goes tragically wrong—accidentally aging his own grandson—he’s forced to confront the consequences of his failure and find a way to undo the damage before time runs out.

In "The Creature From Kosmos!", Ant-Man teams up with the daughter of a murdered scientist to face a deadly alien threat. With her newfound ability to shrink and fly via tiny wasp wings, she becomes his partner as the Wasp, and together they devise a plan to exploit the creature’s acidic nature and save the city.

In "The Terrible Traps of Egghead!", the cunning villain sets a web of traps to capture the Wasp, hoping to turn her against Ant-Man.

In "Music to Scream By," Ant-Man and the Wasp find themselves ensnared not by brute force, but by the eerie, otherworldly music of Trago, a trumpet player who’s harnessed mystical powers from his time in India. As the haunting notes ripple through the air, the heroes must outwit a foe whose instrument is both weapon and spell, all while facing a sacrifice that echoes in the silence after the final note.

In "The Porcupine!", a determined thief with a quill-like arsenal targets a state-of-the-art bank engineered by Henry Pym on its opening day. With Henry and Janet present, the duo must step in as Ant-Man and the Wasp to stop the brazen heist—before the bank’s defenses are truly tested.

In "The Birth of Giant-Man!", Henry Pym faces his greatest challenge yet when the Eraser abducts him and other scientists, trapping them in the dangerous Dimension Z to build atomic weapons. With his newfound ability to grow to giant size, Pym must use his intellect and courage to outwit his captors and free the imprisoned minds.

In "The Human Top!", Henry Pym takes on the bizarre criminal known as the Human Top, a foe who spins through the city with uncanny speed and precision. With the Wasp urging him to act, Pym suits up as Giant-Man, only to find that brute strength isn't enough—outsmarting the spinning criminal will demand new tactics and discipline.

In "The Black Knight Strikes!", Professor Garrett, exiled after being arrested for treason by Giant-Man, vanishes into Europe and unleashes a twisted experiment—genetically altering horses and eagles into a monstrous winged steed. Armed with a deadly lance and driven by vengeance, he returns as the Black Knight to confront the giant hero who betrayed him. Giant-Man stands ready, but the battle ends with the Black Knight vanishing once more—his fate and next move still unknown.
