High Five! Top Seven! – Marvel “What If?” Stories

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: February 9, 2011

In 1977, Marvel came up with a pretty fantastical (and most likely drug-induced) idea. Comic books are always talking about their multiverses, where somebody at some point did something drastically different and changed that universe’s reality forever. Essentially, the writers wanted to nerd out and ask the big, cringe-worthy-fan-fiction-inducing question: “What if?” With Uatu the [...]

Scarlet #1: Has Icon Finally Grown Up?

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: July 9, 2010

Back when it was announced that Spider-Woman #7 would be the end of the series, Bendis mentioned in his press statement that he and frequent collaborator Alex Maleev had been working on a project for Icon Comics.

Spider-Woman: Can Jessica Drew Carry an Ongoing Solo Title?

Posted by: Maggie_C on: September 30, 2009
