Geek'd Out - Nico Sprezzatura
May 15, 2019I think the art of Giant-Man, headed by Marco Castiello and colorist Rachelle Rosenberg, is very good, which is reliant on two factors: big boys and a frosty palette. You do get a sense of scale despite the constrictive layouts throughout the issue youd expect at least one double-page splash spread given the premise here, but nada. And while Rosenberg does sell the chilliness of Florida (again, you read that right) setting, she also makes an effort to contrast the snowy ice with pops of warmth, like an orange sky that contrasts with the deep blues of their Frost Giant disguises. Letterer VCs Joe Sabino does his reliably good work, though Im mildly disappointed there isnt even bigger text on display here. It's Giant-Man! Read Full Review

Newsarama - Justin Partridge
May 15, 2019Armed with a neat adventure hook and fan-favorite Ant-Men in starring roles, Giant-Man #1 is a worthy tie-in title. While a little top-heavy with the opening scene, Leah Williams again impresses in a larger sandbox, bringing her sense of wit and action to the life of Scott Lang and finding it a great match. Marco Castiello and Rachelle Rosenberg are also in on the joke, delivering (literally) towering action and personable artwork. As the War of the Realms rages, Giant-Man #1 delivers big side-story fun. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Brett
May 15, 2019The comic is a solid issue and one that you don't need to read the main event to enjoy. This issue stands out from the pack as far as War of the Realms tie-ins. Giant-Man #1 isn't anything groundbreaking but it is a fun and entertaining read. Read Full Review

May 20, 2019For being a story that I didn't think necessarily needed to be told, I am glad it happened. Read Full Review

Multiversity Comics - Christopher Egan
May 17, 2019A quite exciting, if not a little half-baked, start to the "Giant-Man" miniseries that brings some welcome humor to the ever-expanding War of the Realms. Read Full Review

The Beat - Alexander Jones
May 15, 2019From my vantage point this is everything you could ask for in a tie-in crossover. There is solid writing and art and a hokey premise tailored to an event like War of the Realms. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
May 21, 2019There's a lot of friction here (and a lot of repurposed Hank Pym aliases, as well), with some interesting art and clever story bits making for a fun read. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - John Jack
May 18, 2019Definitely a skippable tie in, unless they manage to actually succeed, which would make this 3 issue series pivotal in Thor canon, I doubt that will happen. Read Full Review

ComicBook.com - Charlie Ridgely
May 15, 2019Scott Lang and his companions each provide interesting insight to their adventure, and they make it worth the read. The story itself, not so much. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - Jim Werner
May 16, 2019This issue was a giant disappointment for me. I didnt care much for the characters by the end and the story itself was forced and silly and not in a good way. There is obviously still time to turn things around, but this was not the start I was hoping for. Read Full Review

Giant Man 1 has surprisingly been on of my favorite tie-ins to War of the Realms yet. I love Scott and while I'm not overly familiar with the other characters I found this issue beautifully drawn, funny, and a worthwhile read. This series is unlike most tie ins to this event as it has a purpose that isn't 'defend the Realm'. Frejya wants revenged for Loki, and Scott, Raz, Tom, and Erik are gonna do it for her
