    Default What If... Flash was Spidey, and Peter was Punisher?

    Six new What if issues announced. Two of them are spider related.

    Huh. Sure why not? I actually like Punisher Spidey's outfit.

    It should also be noted that What If...Flash Thompson was Spider-Man is written by Gerry Conway, who has been doing impressive work in the last few years (Spiral, Renew Your Vows) to say nothing of his 1970s work.

    It's nice to see Conway patched things up with Marvel as he left Renew Your Vows under dubious circumstances

    IIRC, Conway also said that Firestorm (whom he co-created at DC) was based on the premise of "What if Flash Thompson had super powers?"

    I'm kind of surprised that they didn't do a What If of Flash as Spider-Man before. Is he going to be in Spider-Geddon ?

    I wonder how Spider-Punisher will be different from Assassin Spider.

    Yeah, hasn't the idea of Flash as Spidey been done before once or twice ?

    I will be picking up the What If story by Gerry Conway for sure.
    I was wondering when would Gerry Conway write a new story not so long ago,so this new What If story looks great to me.

    They have done this premise before.

    Isn't the first time. Do you know how many "What if Captain America woke up today" stories they've done?

    (To keep it Spidey related, they've also done "What if Uncle Ben had Lived and Aunt May had died" a few times as well.)

    Punisher Spidey would still be a vigilante, whereas Assassin Spidey was, to be utterly redundant about it, an assassin. One kills out of a perceived need to deliver justice where the law has failed, the other kills if the price is right, even if they're selective enough that they only target bad people. That's a difference right there, I would think.
    The spider is always on the hunt.

    It's nothing new. Back in the classic What if series (if you can call it that) What if did two different stories called "What if Captain America were revived today?" Granted, they were VERY different stories.

    There were a couple more in the 90's....I can't recall the titles, but I think one had Peter destroying Flash/Spider-man and another one had Black Cat I Think...
