I had no interest whatsoever in the premise of this series, but because I’m reading the three-issue Ant-Man & Wasp series I thought I’d pick this one up to see the next phase in Henry Pym’s storied career. I had very low expectations, but I came away very, very impressed!
This may me old news to rest of y’all, but I was surprised to discover that Tigra has a baby boy, William, fathered by a Skrull who had been impersonating Hank Pym at the time. (That’s gotta be awkward. But I digress…) during the course of the story, Pym not only becomes Giant-Man again (and for the right reasons), he also behaves heroically and, perhaps more importantly, intelligently. The decisions he makes in the course of this one issue demonstrate real character growth. (No pun intended.) A possible return of Janet Van Dyne is set up, rejected, then foreshadowed again. If the other issues of this series have been this good, I may buy the collected edition.

I think you're thinking of Avengers: Children's Crusade, Mark. That's the latest Young Avengers title.
I also really liked this issue. Hank's always been one of my favorite Marvel characters. The only nagging problem I have is that Christos Gage keeps having characters say that Hank and Jocasta were "romantically involved" when they weren't. On Dan Slott's run of Mighty Avengers, there were hints that they might have been, but it was finally, definitively shown that Hank just wasn't that into Jocasta, despite her (inherited) feelings for him.
I wonder what the motivation is for that Academy student's actions at the end there?
