COMICS: Meet Marvel's New GIANT MAN - Raz Malhotra
In this week's Ant-Man Annual #1, Scott Lang and Hank Pym encounter a technician named Raz Malhotra who helps them foil one of Egghead's schemes. Flash forward a few years and Lang recruits Malhotra as the new incarnation of the Giant Man. Check out some pages...
This week's Ant-Man Annual #1 is hitting shelves to coincide with the release of the Marvel movie, and it features a pretty major reveal. Since Hank Pym's "death" in the Rage Of Ultron graphic novel, the Giant Man mantle had been left idle... but not any more. The story takes place across 2 different time periods: In the past a lad named Raz Malhotra aids Pym and Scott Lang in their mission to take down Egghead, them when we flash-forward to the future “All-New, All-Different” timeline we see Raz's partner give him a box containing the Giant Man costume.>
Of course, Raz might say no, but it certainly points to this character becoming the new Giant Man for Marvel's "All-New, All-Different" line this October. Best watch your back sunshine, things don't seem to go so well for the people that take up that mantle.
