PROJECT 1K: Five quick ones...

SHORTS--

WHAT IF #34
Ah. A humor issue. Very light hearted stuff, starting with a cover of the Watcher doing his best Marilyn Monroe impression. Mostly single panel/page jokes. Best is the first story, which answers the age old question of what would happen if Galactus came to earth as an amnesiac and was mistaken for Elvis.

WHAT IF #53
This one was an alternate reality issue. Three shorts featuring what if Rick Jones, Iron Man 2020 and a closing tale dealing with the Torment arc by Todd McFarlane back in the Spider-Man book. My head hurts.

WHAT IF #7
Rob Liefeld! Jim Valentino! Wolverine! I love the 1990s! Ever wonder what would happen if Wolverine had been recruited by SHIELD? This tale is a love letter to Wolverine and how awesome he is...basically if he had joined SHIELD instead of the X-Men, everything would have been awesome. Did I mention Liefeld?

JSA CLASSIFIED #25
Dennis Calero's art is pretty bitching on this one. Alan Scott and reformed and his elderly villain Johnny Mimic go on a mission to take out the Dial H for Hero dial. Sad tragic ending.

NEW AVENGERS ANNUAL #1
Luke Cage and Jessica Jones finally get married...unfortunately an AIM rebuilt Yelena Black Widow causes problems. Did I mention that they rebuilt her into the new Super Adaptoid?

991 more comics to go.
