What If...?

What If...?

Description of title from Marvel's solicitations:

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!

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?

WHA... HUH?
Written by Brian Michael Bendis, Stan Lee, Mark Millar, J. Michael Straczynski, Garth Ennis, Brian K. Vaughan, Peter David, art and 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!
