Marvel's "What If?" series of comic books have always offered an interesting twist on well-known storylines, although the last couple of waves took a real drop in quality. That's probably why we haven't seen them for the last few years, but Axel Alonso has now confirmed (in an interview with Comic Book Resources) that the publisher will be bringing the "What If?" line back for a four part special based on the Avengers Vs. X-Men event this July. Below are comments from the E-i-C.
"[If] you've ever wondered what might have happened if the Phoenix Force had found a different host than Cyclops, Emma Frost, Namor and Colossus in last year's biggest super hero event, then you'll want to read "What If? Avengers Vs. X-Men," a 4-issue limited series, written by Jimmy Palmiotti and illustrated by Jorge Molina that ships weekly this July. I don't want to give too much away about the story, but let's just say that things might have gone a lot differently if Magneto had taken a stronger hand in determining Hope's fate."
