What If...? #47

In What If...? #47, writer Kurt Busiek and artist Tod Smith explore a chilling alternate path where Magneto, emboldened by the deaths of Professor X, Cyclops, and Jean Grey, seizes control of the United States with a powerful mutant army. As Earth's heroes struggle to contain the uprising, the president’s desperate countermove unleashes a fleet of Sentinels—leading to a devastating endgame that reshapes the nation into a Sentinel-dominated police state. Cover by Tod Smith and Ian Akin captures the grim tension of a world gone dark, while Wolverine’s defiant stand sets the stage for a new X-Men.
