Final Three ‘What If...?’ 50th Anniversary One-Shots Revealed
Marvel revealed covers and story details for the final three one-shots in the What If...? 50th anniversary series, all arriving in August. All covers across the eight-issue series are by Lucas Werneck.
What If...? Runaways #1 brings Rainbow Rowell back to the team of characters, alongside artist Zulema Scotto Lavina. Rather than running from their supervillain parents, the Runaways lean in and embrace the family business.
WHAT IF…THE RUNAWAYS HADN’T RUN AWAY?
Every year, a group of philanthropists gather for a charitable fundraiser…or so their children Alex Wilder, Chase Stein, Gertrude Yorkes, Karolina Dean, Molly Hayes and Nico Minoru thought. When they discover their parents form the Pride, a sinister, sacrificial group that answers to a godly race called the Gibborim, the teens are terrified, shocked and…intrigued? Their destiny awaits, and there’s no running away.
What If...? Captain America #1 pairs writer Marc Guggenheim with X-Men 2099 artist Ron Lim to ask what happens when Steve Rogers is pulled out of the ice in 2099 instead of the present, waking up to a world that had to get by without him for a very long time.
WHAT IF…CAPTAIN AMERICA WAS REVIVED IN 2099?
Captain America’s time during World War II ended with him frozen in ice, out of commission for decades. In the 616, he was revived and joined with fellow heroes the Avengers. But what if he missed the Heroic Age altogether? What evils would rise without the Sentinel of Liberty?
What If...? X-Men #1 from writer Ashley Allen and artist Sumit Kumar imagines a world where Cassandra Nova killed Charles Xavier before he was ever born. With telepaths hunted and experimented on, Jean Grey and Emma Frost are on the run from the X-Men Cassandra built in Xavier's place.
"WHAT IF…CASSANDRA NOVA KILLED PROFESSOR X?
In a world where Cassandra Nova killed Charles Xavier in the womb, telepaths are hunted and experimented on — and what she's making from them is far worse than what she's taking. But when telepaths Jean Grey and Emma Frost escape, Cassandra Nova will stop at nothing to bring them back! Bring on Cassandra's X-Men!"
