WHAT IF? #20-22 (1980)

#20: What If the Avengers Fought the Kree Without Rick Jones?  This is an easy one to answer: Anything without Rick Jones is better in the amount of one fewer Rick Jones.

This issue is just an easy way to revisit one of the best Avengers stories so far.  And there ain’t nothing wrong with that.

Issue #21 asks, What If the Invisible Girl Married Sub-Mariner?  Best part about this one: Gene Colan’s art.

Namor shows up at the Fantastic Three’s base.  They fight a lot until they realize Namor just wanted to invite them to a baby party.  There’s more of course, but that’s the main punchline.

And finally, issue #24 both asks and answers its questions on the cover.

The story focuses on Mephisto having Doom’s mother’s soul. It’s a decent issue–particularly because this little bit of Doom lore continues to be fascinating.

This is a run of not-so-hot issues.
