Steviekick 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2004 from comicbookresources.com: MARVEL WHAT IF? WHAT IF THERE WERE SEVEN MORE COMICS YOU HAD TO BUY?? What if we could say, "due to popular demand" and mean it? Well, True Believer, we ain't lyin'! You wanted the craziest, most far-out What If extravaganzas we could find, so we sent some interns up to the attic of this old House of Ideas and we never heard from them again! So, we warned the industry's BEST CREATORS we'd send THEM to the attic next if they didn't come through. And they did! Look at this all-star lineup, gang, and you'll notice the only What If missing is the one about Forbush Man becoming EIC! WHAT IF JESSICA JONES HAD JOINED THE AVENGERS? Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS Art by MICHAEL GAYDOS Cover by Young Guns Artist DAVID FINCH Ripped from the pages of the Avengers and fan-favorite Alias - Jessica Jones, ex-superhero private eye was once tapped to join the Avengers, but chose not to and gave up being a super-hero altogether. But what if she had taken the job? The events that followed shake up both the Avengers and Jessica's life in ways no one could have guessed. Could Jessica have saved the Avengers from the disasters of Disassembled? For the first time ever Avengers' writer Brian Bendis reunites with Alias artist Michel Gaydos, with a special cover by Avengers' artist David Finch. 32 PGS./MARVEL PSR …$2.99 UPC: 5960605618-00311 WHAT IF KAREN PAGE HAD LIVED? Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS & KEVIN SMITH Art by ALEX MALEEV Cover by JOE QUESADA The worst thing that ever happened to Daredevil was watching his one true love Karen Page die in his arms after a brutal attack by his archenemy Bullseye. The events that followed spiraled Matt Murdock's life out of control and he has never recovered. The award-winning team behind DD's monthly book join DD legends Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada in this shocking once-in-a-lifetime look at Daredevil. 32 PGS./MARVEL PSR …$2.99 UPC: 5960605618-00111 WHAT IF AUNT MAY HAD DIED INSTEAD OF UNCLE BEN? Written by ED BRUBAKER Art by ANDREA DIVITO Cover by ANDY BRASE We all know that Spider-Man's heroic career was inspired by Uncle Ben's death after his speech about great power and great responsibility... But what if Uncle Ben WASN'T the one who died? What if Peter's mother figure, Aunt May had been the one in the path of that bullet? How different would Peter's life have been? 32 PGS. / MARVEL PSR …$2.99 UPC: 5960605618-00711 WHA... HUH? Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS, STAN LEE, MARK MILLAR, J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI, GARTH ENNIS, BRIAN K. VAUGHAN, PETER DAVID and everyone else we could get our hands on! Art & Cover by JIM MAHFOOD Because clearly Bendis doesn't have enough books to write this month, the big baby bullied Marvel's upper management into green-lighting this ridiculous pile of silly nonsense! In the great tradition of NOT BRAND ECHH and the old humor issues of WHAT IF?, WHA...HUH? asks the questions that no one really cares about... What if the Identity Crisis happened in the Marvel Universe? What if Modok has an itch? What if Kevin Smith finished his books? Bendis reteams with hilarious Clerks artist Jim Mahfood and all the best Marvel scribes-Mark Millar, JMS, Garth Ennis and a ton of others-to make the dumbest comic published this year. No one is safe! This comic WILL NOT feature seventeen variant covers of Wolverine. 32 PGS./MARVEL PSR …$2.99 UPC: 5960605618-00711 WHAT IF DR. DOOM HAD BECOME THE THING? Written by KARL KESEL Pencils & Cover by PAUL SMITH How could the Fantastic Four's strongest member also be their deadliest enemy? A seemingly minor decision made long before the FF even existed could have changed everything for the World's Greatest Super-Team, Victor Von Doom... and even the Incredible Hulk! And that's just for starters... 32 PGS./MARVEL PSR …$2.99 UPC: 5960605618-00511 WHAT IF MAGNETO HAD FORMED THE X-MEN WITH PROFESSOR X? Written by CHRIS CLAREMONT Art by CULLY HAMNER Cover by Young Guns Artist JIM CHEUNG! X-Men legend Chris Claremont joins with the hotshot artistic team of Cully Hamner (inside) and Jim Cheung (outside) to ask a question that MUST be answered only with speculation. Imagine a world where the Master of Magnetism had chosen a different path. Or perhaps he could have swayed Xavier from his own beliefs? These two legends stalk the halls of X-Men Canon, and at last the question is asked, "What if things had been different?" 32 PGS./MARVEL PSR …$2.99 UPC: 5960605618-00411 WHAT IF GENERAL ROSS HAD BECOME THE HULK? Written by PETER DAVID Art by BART SEARS Cover by GARY FRANK Meet again, for the first time, General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross... a veteran army officer who believes that the time for talk is long past, and all that matters is his country's ability to develop weapons that will annihilate its enemies. Experience with him what happens when he himself becomes the mightiest weapon on two legs...but is trapped within that weapon, unable to communicate with former allies who only want to destroy him. 32 PGS./MARVEL PSR …$2.99 UPC: 5960605618-00211 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2004 I know WHA..HUH? will be filled with inside industry jokes, but I hope it isn't bogged down to the point that it's completely unreadable like Marville. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
