New subject: What's the best What If? issue in your opinion?
Click to expand...

My top five would be:
What if Elektra had lived?
What if the Annihilation Wave reached Earth?
What if the New Fantastic Four had remained a team?
What if Gwen Stacy had lived?
What if Spider-Man had joined the Fantastic Four? (the first ever one, and they came back to this one a few times, it also showed up in Exiles)

The issue that introduced Mayday Parker (#105, I think?), What If? #100 and What If Venom possessed the Punisher? are all good as well.

Kill or be Killed #2. 4/5 Good story, pacing, flashbacks were cool. Layouts for the stalking bits were nice. Overall, good read, looking froward to seeing where this goes... I hope, though, that it isn't just stalking the next kill in every issue.

I'm trying to think of one but its hard. I know I read What if Xmen lost Inferno a bunch of times. I think I liked when they went kind of horror in the 90s i think. Well i liked a few of them.

Glitterbomb #1: 3/5 Good setup, but that's it really. Kinda getting sick of the present/flashback/present format in some of these Image books.

Doctor Strange #11: 3/5 Good story, but as much as I think Bachalo is shit at hands, this issue suffered in the art department.

You should eat it and give her a comic book instead.

She has grown out of that age and isn't in the sweet spot to restart reading yet. I remember how when she was 10-14 I used to give her a Donald Duck pocketbook each month but now she's too busy studying for her first test in her first year at high school.

They seem to only do What Ifs? based around events these days, which kind of sucks. The last two were minis of oneshots based on Age of Ultron and Infinity.

I guess most of Secret Wars counts as well.

We'll probably get a Civil War II series down the road at some point. You could probably get a lot of mileage just out of killing different people during the initial Thanos attack. It wouldn't even have to be someone who was there in the actual story. Maybe the premonition was different and somebody else shows up and then dies?

Yeah before those the last what if i remember was Planet Hulk about Ceira coming to earth instead of Hulk. They should at least do a big anthology book once in a while.

High School being too old to read comics? Bollocks.

Marvel won't do a team book unless they can somehow shoehorn mutants or Avengers into it.

You should have. Magik is great.



Why would he leave? They've been good to him. And isn't he like their Bendis anyway?

Wanna know who it was?
Mirka Andolfo one of the main artists on Bombshells she does an amazing Harley but her magik is also dope.

Pretty much. I did think it was pretty obvious he wouldn't leave. They have supported him and his wife when they needed it.
