Hey you, that’s right…you! Have you not heard all the Marvel announcements coming out of San Diego? Did you even hear that a female Blade comic was announced? Do you have time to take all of this crazy Marvel information and jam it into your poor unassuming brain? Marvel is continuing to roll out new comics with the reveal of a What if? Infinity limited series. Even if this seems insane, the mini starting in October features writing from the talented Josh Williamson and has an all-star cast of artists including Mike Norton, Riley Rossmo, Mike Henderson, Jason Copland and Goran Sudzuka.
Each issue of the comic reimagines the Marvel Universe after Infinity, the Marvel comics event that saw Thanos try to seize the Earth while author Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers villains The Builders were also putting up a fight for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. One issue takes a look at what the Earth what look like if the Builders had been successful. The comic features several standalone chapters written by Williamson and illustrated by one of the fantastic artists mentioned above. Every installment of the series is shipping in October and follows a different set of characters including Thanos, the Inhumans, Avengers and more. Let us know if you are feeling the Marvel overload or if you are excited for yet another chapter in the expanded cannon of fringe Marvel titles.
Also, here’s the solicitations for each of the five comics included with the Marvel.com tease from Williamson on each comic:

Who is this “Jim Starland” you speak of? And does he know Chelsea Cain or Chelsea Caine?
They are all residents of typo land, which I am the ruler of.
Wait, did you not pick up The Vision? It might be the best comic at the Big Two, period.
Of course I picked up The Vision! This column examines new #1’s and the books that I occasionally missed in my ongoing adventure into exploring the All-New, All-Different line as a whole. Here’s my first thoughts on vision back when the line was first launching:
