WHAT IF...? SECRET WARS #1

What If...? Secret Wars #1 imagines a timeline in which the original Ultimate Universe endures the cataclysm of Secret Wars instead of being erased by it. At its center is Peter Parker — the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man — who must survive in a world turned hostile after losing everything he once knew.

Writer Alex Paknadel and artist Cafu trace how this altered reality defeated the Beyonder and what that victory ultimately cost. The result is a darker portrait of a familiar hero, reshaped by a war whose outcome rewrote the rules of his universe.
