A great collection from Marvel that is kind of an answer to DCs Elseworlds collections.
Hector Espejo, online name The Watcher, is the child of millionaire computer geeks, and first hacked into the Pentagon before he was 10. Using the net he has discovered a parallel world and each of the six comics in this collection are based on his findings: what if the Fantastic Four were Russian; what if Prince Namor, Aquman grew up on land, what if Captain America had emerged during the American Civil War, what if Matt Murdock hadn't been Daredevil but instead had had a Japanese ancestor with Daredevil's blindness and fighting skills; what if Wolverine had been a fur trapper forced to cross with Scarface in Chicago during the Prohibition era, and what if Thor had become the herald of Galactacus. All really well written and fascinating.
