Marvel Celebrates 50 Years of What If…? with Variant Covers

Posted on by Leave a comment

This May, Marvel’s Stormbreakers shatter the multiverse in new What If…? Variant Covers! The latest monthly cover collection from Marvel’s elite artists celebrates 50 years of What If…? storytelling with imaginative new twists on your favorite heroes. From dramatic transformations to outrageous power swaps, these eight pieces reflect the endless creativity and spectacular talent of the current class of Marvel’s Stormbreakers!

The daring questions asked include:

  • What if… Captain Marvel was a Skrull?
  • What if… Daredevil’s accident gave him the Hulk’s powers?
  • What if… Iron Man’s Extremis was a symbiote?
  • What if… Punisher had Magik’s Eldritch Armor?
  • What if… Rogue became the Sorcerer Supreme?
  • What if… Wolverine controlled his adamantium like Colossus?
  • What if… the X-Men were heralds of Galactus?
  • What if… the Spider-Man’s greatest foes, the Sinister Six, were his greatest allies?

The current class of Marvel’s Stormbreakers include Alessandro Cappuccio, Netho Diaz, Simone Di Meo, Juan Frigeri, Gurihiru, Jonas Scharf, Geoff Shaw, and Luciano Vecchio. Chosen for their remarkable art, notable achievements, and boundless imagination when bringing the Marvel mythos to the page, these creators represent the future of comic book artistry and embody the raw talent to shatter the limits of visual storytelling!

Also part of the 50th anniversary celebration are a series of all-new What If…? one-shots! Announced last month, the new one-shots shake the foundations of every corner of the Marvel mythos with startling shifts to iconic storylines, kicking off in June with What If…? Uncanny X-Men #1, where Gerry Duggan and Jan Bazaldua ask “What if… Cyclops had stayed with Madelyne Pryor?” and What If…? Thor #1, where Torunn Grønbekk and Sergio Dávila ask “What if… Thor got Spider-Man’s symbiote suit?”

Check out all eight What If…? Variant Covers and preorder them at your local comic shop today.

This May, Marvel honors the milestone anniversary of the groundbreaking event with Civil War: Unmasked, a recently announced limited series by Christos Gage and Edgar Salazar revealing all-new stories set during the Civil War era, and new Civil War Celebration Variant Covers.

Drawn by today’s top artists, the new cover collection spotlights epic matchups between both sides of the conflict that tore the super hero community apart! The showdowns depicted include memorable battles from the event like Captain America vs. Spider-Man and Hercules vs. the infamous clone of Thor as well as never-before-seen throwdowns like Storm vs. Ms. Marvel and Cyclops vs. Wonder Man. The Civil War Celebration Variant Covers will grace some of Marvel’s hottest titles and be showcased using the now-iconic Civil War trade dress.
