I've been hunting all my local shops for the short lived "Avengers Origins" series. Just finished up Ant Man/Wasp and Vision issues. Guess I should grab the AoU books now.

I always wanted the powerless heroes to save the Marvel Universe! That's how Dark Reign should have ended after Norman Osborn got a hold of that power dampener.

Better have Moon Knight, though......

personally the BEST 'WHAT IF' ive ever seen was WORLD WAR HULK where galactus came after bruce begged him to end his life but instead became the most powerful herald with all erased memories - terrorizing the universe (THAT SHIT WAS EPIC AND SAD....A MUST READ FOR ANY TRUE COMIC FAN) the human race is no more and all superheroes are dead expect for beyond-god-like hulk that even galactus fears.... shit bruce even begged for galactus to damn near erase him and burry himself deep inside the hulk to never come out.... one of the last pages deals with bruce crying his very last tear and silver surfer damn near crying for him as the most powerful and saddest being in any universe..... SHIT MADE ME TEAR UP (yeah I got emotional on that one....its even on youtube.com - downloaded).......it was sooo sad just when bruce and the hulk was seen as the only savior the earth had left and even the last few superheroes saw hulk as their savior..... the skrull wipe them out but cant kill the hulk.... after that event hulk is filled with sooo much rage he doesn't care about the earth and gets silver surfer to bring galactus to eat it...killing all the last species of the skrull.... damn im about to cry again.

New Fantastic Four in the future? Hopefully its DOFP Wolverine, Maestro Hulk, I guess Reign Spiderman? And what the h does an elderly Ghost Rider look like? The Undertaker that Sam Elliot was in the movie? Pretty sweet! Either way I love that team :)

A What-If series taken from what was itself a What-if within a What-if. Nope. They got $16 bucks outta me on AoU. No more. I stuck with AoU for four issues where nothing happened except people saying "We have a plan" at the end of each issue. If the crux of the story was that Ultron was so damn smart and used time travel to win in the first place it makes no sense that he wouldn't foresee anyone else trying that same schtick.

"Mya-haha I am the smartest being ever. I have conquered my enemies from the future!"

"But what if someone goes back in time and tries to kill you or your creator?"

"Pssssh No one's doing that. That sounds like something a 10-year-old would come up with."

"Aaaaalright then."

Are you sassin' me mister?? Cause I will take you out back and tell you what YOU'RE havin' for lunch!"

That...that kind of got away from me. But I stand by my opinion. I didn't like Age of Ultron. Good for those that do though. Now you get five more issues.

My favorite What If? was when Thor laid the smackdown on World War Hulk.

I've always liked the "What If" series. Now, if I can just find ONE where they don't kill Spider-Man.
