Story by Bob Layton & David MichelinIe Written by DAVID MICHELINIE Penciled by GRAHAM NOLAN Cover by BOB LAYTON Back-Up Story By RICK REMENDER & SHAWN MOLL Would Tony Stark still be Iron Man...if he wasn't Tony Stark? Twenty years ago, in a college experiment gone bad, the young Stark's mind is transferred to the body of impoverished but brilliant fellow student, Victor von Doom! Blamed for the unsanctioned research, his memory wiped clean, Tony is deported and forced to face life as a disgraced Latverian commoner. Meanwhile, von Doom grows and flourishes in the wealth and privilege of being sole heir to Stark Industries. Thus, in separate cauldrons on different sides of the world, both Iron Man and Dr. Doom are forged anew. But who are the men inside the armors...really? Find out in 'WHAT IF TONY STARK HAD BECOME DR. DOOM?', co-plotted and written by David Michelinie ('IRON MAN: THE END'), pencilled by Graham Nolan ('X-MEN FOREVER') and co-plotted and inked by Bob Layton ('HERCULES: TWILIGHT OF A GOD').

Written by MARC GUGGENHEIM & STAN LEE Penciled by DAVE WILKINS & DALE EAGLESHAM Cover by DAVE WILKINS Finally, celebrate the historic 200th issue of What If? Since debuting in 1977, What If? has become a corner staple in the Marvel Universe by spotlighting 'the road not traveled' by many of its heroes & villains as well as the domino effect that the point of divergence creates. What If? 200 offers two titanic tales- the main story is one with a different POV on Siege, 'What If Norman Osborn Won the Siege of Asgard?' What if the Sentry didn't lose control of the Void during battle, allowing for the Siege to ultimately decimate our heroes? With Osborn on top of the world, only one force stands in his way: Doom... and he's not alone as he rebuilds the Cabal with the X-Men?! By Marc Guggenheim and Dave Wilkins. The second tale is one that will be talked about amongst the multiverse: the murder of Galactus at the hands of...the WATCHER!?! Based on the events in the classic 'Coming of Galactus' storyline in 'The Fantastic Four 48-50,' this one is written by none other than the scribe of those original stories, Stan 'The Man' Lee, himself. Joining him is recent FF artist, Dale Eaglesham. If there is only one back-up story you'll read this year, true believers, it must be this one! 64 PGS./Rated T+ Cover price $4.99.

Reprinting What If? (1989) #77 What If Legion Had Killed Magneto? One Dream, Written by Benny Powell and Warren Ellis. Art by Hector Gomez, John Livesay and Mike Halblieb. Legion succeeds in killing Magneto in the past (thus negating his own existence as Maggie once saved his mother's life before he was born); Without the polarizing threat of Magneto to make the X-Men strong, they become little more than pro-mutant media figures; Thus, when Apocalypse and his forces attack, the X-Men are ill equipped to deal with the threat; Scott and Jean come out of retirement to join the fight but Jean ends up killing 100,000 people with the Phoenix force; As a result, the world now hates and fears mutants and Scott opens X-Mansion as a school to help repair the rift. 28 pages, full color.

What if events occurred differently? What if Doom discovered his mistake before it was too late and won the Secret War? In other words...'What If Doctor Doom Kept the Beyonder's Power?' And featuring the conclusion of a special five part back-up story, 'What if the Runaways Became the Young Avengers?' In this issue... 'Young Avengers Assemble!' 48 PGS./Rated T+ Cover price $3.99.
