Aliens What if….? #1 has a lot of fun with its alternate history. The rat-a-tat wit of Adam F. Goldberg’s writing keeps you hopping as he brings a Weyland Yutani corporate stooge to life and examines what might have happened had Carter Burke survived the massacre at Hadley’s Hope.

REVIEW: The Sensational She-Hulk #4-6 – But You Gotta Have Friends
Rainbow Rowell’s take on Jennifer Walters’s life continues to be charming. She uses Jen’s back catalog of friends, the New York setting, and the slightly silly concept of her superhero lawyering career to perfection. And there’s absolutely nothing better than more Patsy Walker.
