What If…? Celebrates 50 Years with new One-Shots Delivering Twists on Classic Stories

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of What If?, Marvel Comics is taking a bold leap into the multiverse to discover mythos-shattering new twists on some of its most definitive stories! Announced earlier this year, the series of one-shots kicks off in June with What If…? Uncanny X-Men #1 by Gerry Duggan and Jan Bazaldua and What If…? Thor #1 by Torunn Grønbekk and Sergio Dávila. Today, fans can check out covers and learn additional story information for the next three What If…? one-shots hitting stands in July: What If…? Secret Wars #1; What If…? Jessica Jones #1; and What If…? Spider-Man #1.

In What If…? Secret Wars, Alex Paknadel and Cafu reverse the ending of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić’s universe-breaking Secret Wars, giving the original Ultimate Universe a chance to live on! Then, Justina Ireland and David Messina introduce an all-new—not-so-friendly—Spider-Girl, A.K.A. Jessica Jones in What If…? Jessica Jones #1. Then, the author of one of the greatest Spider-Man tales of all time, J.M. DeMatteis, returns alongside artist Yildiray Çinar  for a bold reimagining of the aftermath of his legendary “Kraven’s Last Hunt” storyline.
