What If...?: Why Not

In 2005, Marvel took a playful detour with What If...?: Why Not, a single-issue special that reimagines the classic "What If" formula with a twist. Written by Karl Kesel and illustrated by Paul Smith, this one-shot from the House of Ideas explores an alternate scenario where the rules of the Marvel Universe are bent in unexpected ways. A compact, creative experiment, it stands as a unique footnote in the long-running "What If" tradition.
