==Synopsis==
After the death of his mother, Ryan Choi moved to the New England city of Ivy Town so that he could take up Professor Ray Palmer's old position at Ivy University; however, Ryan's true motivation was to continue Ray's legacy by obtaining his size-altering belt and become the All-New Atom. 
Shortly afterwards, Ryan was lured into the sewers by the disappearance of a homeless woman, where he discovered that the town had become the center of a war between the forces of science led by "The Waiting" and the forces of magic led by M'nagalah. Both sides attempted to force him to join them in order to turn the tide of the battle but Ryan managed to escape, using his new powers that he got from Ray's Bio-Belt. 
The next day, Ryan went on a movie date with his fellow professor Doris Zuell. While watching a double-feature at a drive-in, Doris revealed herself to be the super-villain Giganta, who had been infected by M'nagalah. Giganta preceded to trap Ryan in a circular petri disk and swallowed him alive; which was quickly followed by M'nagalah and his cult occupying the movie theater. 
Giganta went on a rampage throughout Ivy Town before getting into a confrontation with the alien invaders known as "The Waiting". Ryan was able to free himself by causing Giganta to vomit him out, with the aliens quickly retreating as they were scared off by Giganta's "biological weapon".
