Preview pages of some of the… um… awaited What If titles from Marvel are up at Pop Culture Shock.
Michael Lark, fresh from a triumphant, critically acclaimed run on DC’s Gotham Central, begins his exclusive contract with Marvel by drawing… Brian Michael Bendis. No, seriously. Lark surprised Bendis by drawing him in as the narrator of What If Karen Page Had Lived? (This doesn’t stop one wag at the Bendis Message Board from uttering the particularly cutting, “How Byrne of (Bendis).”)
For What If Aunt May Had Been Killed Instead of Uncle Ben?, Ed Brubaker and Andrea DiVito chose as their narrators two clerks in a shop called “The Comic Cave.” One is significantly overweight. The other looks like Wild Child from Alpha Flight with the addition of really horrifying chin pubes. Geeks! Har!
