Description Marvel's December previews are out, which means I can show you guys another cover, this time for issue #3. What's that you say? What happened to number 2? Turns out, since the book's shipping bi-weekly, that only the odd-numbered books will be included in monthly previews, so you'll just have to stay tuned for the others.

Ok, so what the heck is going on here!? Well, if you're like me, and you got into comics in the '90s and read Marvel's brilliant, surprising, out-of-continuity, bats(&*^ loco What If? series (and other insane storylines like "Capwolf"), then you'll know exactly who these guys are. If not, then let me introduce you to all these out-there characters.

We've got:

--Wolverine, Lord of the Vampires
--Captain America as a werewolf
--Punisher infested by the Venom symbiote
--Kraven the Hunter w/ Phoenix powers
--Carnage Cosmic (Silver Surfer's powers)
--Kingpin w/ the Infinity Gauntlet
--Doombot Sentinels
--the entire original Avengers, Hulk-ified
--Dracula as a cyborg

And yeah, Longshot has to fight ALL these guys in the issue, so you better believe it's worth checking out when it ships in December. Story's by Chris Hastings of Dr. McNinja fame, and when he pitched the cover idea, he said I should choose from all these characters and maybe select a few. I said, "man, with a list like this, we have to do them all!" Took forever, but here you go. Hope you enjoy it.

Sometime I forget how wacky and fun the 90's were for Marvel... they tried so often to be dark and such, but much of the time, it turned out to be zany fun... I remember CapWolf.
And the Wolverine, Lord of the Vampires... correct me if I'm wrong, but as a vampire, couldn't he turn into a winged-wolf?
Man, that feels like a lifetime ago.
Good times.

Wow, I loved What If, but I only remember a few of these.


Do you know what story involved Kingpin with the IG?

DNA-1 In reply to Super-King80 [2013-09-24 19:41:30 +0000 UTC]

Y'know, not all of these are from What If? (though a lot of them are).Β  Capwolf, for example, is from the regular Captain America series, and Carnage Cosmic appeared in Amazing Spider-Man if I'm not mistaken.Β  Not sure where you'd find Kingpin w/ Inifinity Gauntlet or Kraven w/ Phoenix powers.Β  Also possible that the writer invented these scenarios, I suppose.

DNA-1 In reply to Mr-Donkeygoat [2013-09-20 16:09:17 +0000 UTC]

Well, there's the new Flash Thompson Venom who's a government agent that uses guns, but it's rare to see the original, bruttish Eddie Brock version armed this way. I think that's why the original What If? stories were so cool--they seemed WAY out of continuity and as a result always felt fresh.

Think I read that the original pitch involved Galactus, but since he was tied up in Cataclysm, they went for another cosmic-level antagonist.

Venom/Punisher is just scaaary to contemplate. And the Kingpin with the Infinity Gauntlet isn't much better.

Β 

Well, all I can say is that if he survives, Longshot will live up to his name all right.

Great work, David!

Thanks, Bert!Β  Yeah, Venom Punisher is an awesome idea (really, Venom/anybody), and I believe it's from What If? #24 or something similar.Β  Kurt Busiek of Astro City fame wrote it, and the story was memorable enough for me to recall all of this 20 years later.
