This issue really got on my nerves more than most for some reason.
Of course doing a flip will slow the descent of a falling man….if you went to the same school of physics as Wiley Coyote.
12 ft. tall and only 360 lb.? He’d be skin and bones.
Look in the phone book for a Giant Man and Wasp fanclub? Why didn’t I think of that?
“My jets propel me in short spurts…but I have to use my ingenuity in order to stop! Which is what I’m doing now!” I wonder how many kids during the Marvel Age of Comics developed psychological issues from talking to themselves.
Did Ant Man just yell on a crowded sidewalk that Porcupine was “getting away with Jan?” For a supposed super genius, he doesn’t seem to get this whole secret identity thing.
“You will remain a prisoner here until you reveal Giant Man’s true identity to me.” But I’m not worried about removing your mask, because what use could discovering the identity of his partner be to me? You’re an evil mastermind there Porky.
Why would Porky need that elaborate plan to find Giant Man? He was just at his loft, with a bunch of freaking kids, earlier in the issue.
Hank: “Jan, fly to safety!” Jan: “Don’t count on me for help!” Obviously girls are totally useless to comic book fans. What would we ever need them for? ;)
Hank couldn’t shrink because it would shatter his ankle, and then a few pages later he runs on his fractured ankle, shrinks, and then enlarges with no damage.
I almost gave this issue two stars just because I like Porcupine, but I couldn’t do it. |

For some reason I actually kind of do. I think it's because he looks so radically different from all the other heroes and villains. It kind of reminds me of one of those ghillie suits that snipers wear. I'm betting that it's because I vividly remember seeing him in an old issue of Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe as a kid and finding him interesting. |

"She's headed for the George Washington bridge." If the wasp is a flying super hero, why does she need to take a bridge to get to New Jersey? |

Come on you got to love Porky. He has the most unique costume in all of comics. He looks like a walking haystack. A goblin. Cousin It from the Addmans Family. Great imagination for 1963 when he was created. All the villains were kind of cheesy back in those days. A very conservative time. |

"Action follows fast and furious... sincerily Stan"... Really Stan??
Why would the Porcupine use his fantasy to just throw one pellet from I don't know what on our heroes, why Stan did Wasp so dumb? Why do I care, why do I read????
Why God, why?
And after all I learn that Giant Man can spinn like a tornado!!!!!!
Oh God, all the explanation on how Porc stops his fly...
I bet: Someone wrote a letter: "The Porcupine, most ridiculous idea I ever saw!", and Stan
thought: "I'll make an incredible story with this guy, only to disprove this!". |

Man, I think this is the first time we've seen a superhero fan club in a Marvel comic, isn't it? It's so weird that kids who love Giant Man dress up like people who tried to kill him.
Gotta love the way the Porcupine takes himself out in this one, as well as the way Hank Pym just sort of smiles and laughs off a man's probable death. This series is so weird. |

This one was a hard one to rate! It's a totally average story, really. But, the whole "infiltrate the fan club" thing is so absolutely ridiculous, it's ingenious. That's worth a star, in and of itself. And, a couple of really bad writing/editing errors deserve to have a star scratched off. Giant Man goes from not being able to change his size, in fear of shattering his ankle, to changing size twice with no ill effects, in a matter of pages. And, Porcupine's suit shrunk with him. Unless he made it out of unstable molecules, for some reason, it should have stayed, while he shrunk to nothingness.
I do like the ending, though. Overall, it's a pretty ok story. |

That was such a stupid story. 'The supernatural is not evil'. How would you know Jan. Have you done extensive research on the supernatural? |

Well after a few decent Giant-Man issues started to emerge, the last two bring him back down to being unbearable. I'm counting down the issue until I don't have to see his stories anymore. Hulk and Sub-Mariner will be a blessing compared to this. |

I'm with Ice, the infiltration of the fan club was admittedly brilliant despite the execution and everything else in this issue falling to pieces. |

I wanted to like this one more than I did. The ending almost redeemed it, but then they suggested that Porky may come back, so...no.
That last Wasp story was pretty yawn-inducing. I don't blame him for ignoring it. |

Maybe I'm strange, but I kind of like the Porcupine. It's an interesting concept and I'm looking forward to his inevitable return.
The Wasp backup is basically a remake of the Japanese film "Diamajin", which came out in 1966. I'm not sure how Stan came across the source material. |

@Encolpius I guess he didn't since this is 1964 issue. |

Crap as usual, I hated Ant Man I think I despise Giant Man..on top of that...short of the baby alien the Porcupine is the worst villain in the order |

The Human Wicker Basket shrinks to nothingness very Doomesque, wonder if Wicker Basket will be able to subjugate a microscopic democracy too. |
