What If? #29
In *What If? #29*, a world where the Avengers are the last superheroes on Earth sees the Human Torch never encountering Namor—leading to an amnesiac Namor joining a crew aboard a ship hunting the mythical center of the Earth, under the name Mr. Smith. Written by Steven Grant and illustrated by Rick Buckler, with inks by Bob McLeod, colors by Ann Nocenti, and letters by Karen Nemri, this alternate reality explores isolation and identity in a world stripped of its usual heroes. The cover, by Michael Golden, captures the mystery of the journey with striking, atmospheric detail.
