Marvel-Comics - Mickey and Friends Transform into Marvel Icons in New Disney What If? Variant Covers

By Mulder, 24 january 2024

In a dazzling homage to the 60th anniversary of Marvel's Avengers and X-Men, Disney unleashes a spectacular series of monthly variant covers titled "Disney What If?". Following the success of last year's Disney100 Variant Covers, the beloved characters of Mickey Mouse and friends are back, this time donning the iconic personas of Avengers and X-Men.

The celebration began earlier this month with the release of Amazing Spider-Man #41, featuring the classic Disney characters stepping into the shoes of Marvel's superheroes. These captivating variant covers, also available in black and white, will continue to grace select issues of Amazing Spider-Man throughout 2024.

The next trio of Disney What If? variant covers, slated for release between April and June, promises even more excitement. In a West Coast adventure, Mickey and the gang transform into fan-favorite Avengers like Tigra, Mockingbird, and Wonder Man, paying tribute to West Coast Avengers #1. Meanwhile, in a Silver Age twist, Donald Duck wreaks havoc in a reimagination of Neal Adams’ revolutionary X-Men #58 cover, shining a spotlight on Havok. To add a touch of glamour, Minnie Mouse takes center stage in the recreation of Uncanny X-Men #130, the debut of the dazzling mutant, Dazzler.

Comic enthusiasts are encouraged to check with their local comic shops for availability and preorders. The artistic journey doesn't end here, as more of Disney's What If? variant covers for the coming months are yet to be unveiled. For additional information, visit Marvel.com.
