COMICS: First Look At WHAT IF? AGE OF ULTRON #4; A World Without Captain America

I see that the art is going for Bryan Hitch's style... I dislike his style and this imitator is even worse.

There was a "What If" issue years back that played with the Frank-Castle-As-Cap idea...

It was a strange idea then, and it STILL is.

In actually enjoying these What Ifs a lot more than I enjoyed the normal Age of Ultron storyline.

The "what if the punisher became cap America" was done before in what if - I'd say 15 years ago
