Marvel Will Launch "What If…? Dark" With Loki, Spider-Gwen & Venom

Marvel is launching What If...? Dark one-shots for Spider-Gwen and Loki in July, and Venom in August. Might this tie in with the TV show?

A new What If season may be coming to Disney+… and could it be a little darker? A little more grim'n'gritty? Because Marvel is launching What If…? Dark one-shots for Spider-Gwen and Loki in July, and Venom in August.

First revisiting the death of Gwen Stacy with the original Death of Gwen Stacy writer Gerry Conway as well as Jody Houser and Ramon Bachs to tell her story of what would have happened if Spider-Man died, not Gwen Stacy.  Then Walter Simonson returns to his original Thor stories, but with Loki in charge instead, drawn by Scott Eaton. The What If…? Dark one-shot for Venom has no creators announced, but could it be Erik Larsen? David Michelinie? There are options…

I've been writing an introduction for Dave Thorpe's new memoirs, called 616. It really is everything, everywhere, all at once out there right now.
