Aliens What If #1 has been added to your cart.
So first off, excited that they're using the WHAT IF branding on their licensed products, but then equally disappointed that this was the launch idea.
What if Carter Burke had lived? I know, you don't recall who Carter Burke was. Played by Paul Reiser he was the 'company man' liaison that dealt with Ripley. So MANY great concepts they could have played with, especially after producing the hit PREDATOR VS WOLVERINE - I thought we'd see something equally blockbuster in it's conception. Instead we got a thought that probably none of us have EVER pondered on. What if Aliens had fought the Avengers? What if Aliens vs the FF? What if Aliens met Charo?
Still, that said, this was surprisingly well executed and I found myself getting pulled into the storyline. Didn't hurt that they recreated some line for line scenes from Aliens 2 to remind you who Carter Burke was (smart move).
An easy book to mistakenly overlook, you'll be glad that you didn't. I found it a lot more enjoyable than most of the Marvel Aliens have been so far. Give it a shot!
