Happy Holidays, Marvel fans! Today I’m thrilled to release one of my favorite new guides of the past year with all readers: my Guide to What If?! This guide was made possible through the support of Patrons of Crushing Krisis!
This Marvel What If? Guide includes so much more than a list of collected editions of Marvel’s big two ongoing What If? series from 1977 and 1989.
First, it breaks down what the “What If” is in every single issue of those nearly-200 ongoing issues and what issues are often collected alongside other existing stories.
Then, it includes every “What If” mini-series and one-shot Marvel has produced over the past 50 years. Sometimes those single issues weren’t released under a specific banner or title, but as a series of disconnected one-shots. That can make them hard to track down – take it from someone who researched every one of them! This Guide explains all of that, including the “What If?” question behind each issue and how they were collected.
Whether you’re looking for a specific “What If?” story or trying to read every issue in order of release, this guide has the answers you’re looking for. It’s one of over 150 guides that are part of the Crushing Comics Guide to Marvel Comics, covering the vast majority of Marvel titles, teams, and solo characters.

That’s why I was so pleased when Logan’s death stuck for four whole years, during which time Laura Kinney enjoyed the spotlight as Wolverine. It was just as thrilling to see her and Logan reunited at the beginning of Jonathan Hickman’s run and for Logan to affirm that she still held the title, only for Hickman to snatch her out of our grasp later than issue as she became trapped inside the accelerated world of the Children of the Vault for nearly two years of publishing.
