Personally, I would have wanted to see difficult parts of Jan’s past that haven’t been explored as much. Like how she was affected by her father’s death, being stalked by Whirlwind, her time trapped in the quantum realm, or even Hank’s death at the hands of Ultron.

Currently looking for a pull list... Does near-mint West Coast Avengers count?

Does this look like a submissive and codependant woman?

For reference, Avengers vol. 1 #49 published in 1968.
For some reason, that line about peanut butter sandwiches cracks me up every time

I liked this issue, and for being a founding member, Janet is a very underrated avenger nowadays and sad that she even got replaced by her daughter in the movies.
I can't empathize with Hank because I was never interested in his character tbh. It was already said but Janet gets corrupted after reading the darkhold, so i think is right to made this type of 'what if' story since it's one of her darkest moments in her history.
I think this was the perfect choice for her darkhold corruption.
Any other circumstance where she gets a solo, yes there is so much more to explore with her.
This is what I said when I said the meat of the story is Hank being way too much of an influence on Jan in this and you said it made no sense...
But the thing is they don't turn up the tragedy at all.Read the Iron man one and you'll see that he is a darker version of himself because of the stuff that happens to him is much much darker.Same w/ Blade as well.
They are more twisted and darker because their story is more twisted and darker.Jan's is similar to 616 except for her inner monologues.
The darkhold rewrites their backstory more twisted which leads to them being Darker, but they didn't do that w/ Jan's.Jan doesn't get a darker/more twisted Backstory, she's just affected what happens w/ Hank a lot more.Which makes the story lack the punch the others had.
That combined w/ the pacing problem is why I wasn't as much of a fan.
(again please don't take this personally, just writing how I feel)
Even IF Jan doesn't get a story in the one-shot (and I really hope she DOES), its still great to see her being included on the cover!
Emma stans on twitter need to stop with the Jan slander.
