Hank Pym & Scott Lang Team-Up for ANTMAN ANNUAL #1

It’s the team-up you’ve been waiting for! Just in time for the release of Marvel’s Ant-Man movie, it’s Hank Pym & Scott Lang together again this July in the pages of ANT-MAN ANNUAL #1! Blockbuster Ant-Man creative team Nick Spencer & Ramon Rosanas along with guest artist Brett Schoonover bring you an oversized Ant-Man tale that is ANYTHING but small!

Following the shocking climax of the Avengers: Rage of Ultron OGN, Scott Lang has a new mission. Hank Pym left something behind, something so microscopic only another Ant-Man would be able find it! Now Scott must relive a past adventure he had with the original Ant-Man in San Francisco in order to piece together the puzzle of the secret Hank left for him!

“This is a story that manages to be not only perfectly welcoming to new readers who just saw Marvel’s Ant-Manon the big screen (it’ll be on sale two days before the movie’s release!), but it’s also integral to the larger Scott Lang story that Nick and Ramon have been telling in the ANT-MAN comic series,” says series editor Wil Moss. “With Ramon on the present day story and the great Brent Schoonover on the flashback to the San Francisco team-up, Nick tells a story that explores the importance of the Ant-Man legacy -- both by looking into the past AND into the future!”

Plus – don’t miss the long awaited return of a classic Ant-Man villain! Not to mention the debut of a brand-new hero! It’s all happening this July in the oversized ANT-MAN ANNUAL #1!

So not really a team up then

The new Ant-Man series is realy good, and so was Rage of Ultron, so this sounds cool.

Isn't Hank Pym supposed to be fused with Ultron in space?

I'm betting it has something to do with Hope

I've ordered Rage of Ultron and I'm still waiting for it to be delivered, but wasn't that supposed to be a one-off story out of continuity? Sounds like this is a follow up.

Non canon

@space4rentt: Its in continuity and post-Secret Wars.

So Ant-Man annual is non canon too ?

Marvel is going out of their way not to specify. Knowing where it fits in continuity somewhat spoils the upcoming fallout of Battleworld and Secret Wars

Definitely picking this up!

Ok so I checked and it's canon post Secret Wars ,so spoilers to anybody who read it

was is officially stated? I remember reading that its not stated if it is the future.

I never thought it was canon because they show that ultron is sent away when beast was an Anvenger, and also in his second mutation stage. According to the book Ultron was never seen again until there was lady Thor, and Falcon as captain America.

Of course I'm getting this, the current series is excellent.

@captainhoopla:

I join the hoopla.

Sorry no I was talking absolute sh*t no it is not officialy canon ,sorry

Its canon. Its post Secret Wars. Marvel has been coy about it, but it was already revealed by Remender in a e-mail answer he gave to someone asking him about it.

There are more bad size puns/jokes in the description then there will be in the actual comic!

@superior_prime_maybe: @holylouie: It is canon. It spins out of other titles and will have ramifications in the Marvel Universe just as DC's The Killing Joke did. You can read it here: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=54312

Read the article. They are not really teaming up. Lang is just reliving a team up he HAD with Pym years ago. (+)

@rixec:

Oh, wow. I guess it is. But the timeline doesnt make sense. Ultron was there a multiple number of times through the numerous change up in Avengers roster. But in rage of Ultron, he he was significantly gone until the absolutely new roster.

Yeah I was thinking team-up myself- oh well. But at least they are acknowledging the Pym legacy. I think it would be cool if Hank actually became more of a mentor to Scott, not like in the movie exactly, but more of an active mentor(Hank's always been scientist first, superhero second), still functioning as Giant-Man or Yellowjacket when necessary, & helping to teach Scott from his own experiences...kind of tangibly showing the Ant-Man legacy & helping Scott to be the best Ant-Man we know he has the potential to be & can be.

The current run is pretty good. I will be picking this up as well. Can't wait for the movie in July.

I wonder who the classic Ant-Man villain is. I would like to see Dr Nemesis comeback.

I love that Scott and Hank will be in a book together around the time of the Ant-Man movie. The Ant-Man title has been great so far, but for the life of me I don't understand why Marvel isn't doing more with Pym. Both Marvel movies this year - Age of Ultron and Ant-Man inherently deal with the legacy he has left (Ultron and Ant-Man). Instead Pym has been merged with Ultron and is floating in space. He has been rarely used in the last two years. Why does Marvel hate him so much?
