What If? #56: Review

The Watcher continues his account of the alternate version of Operation Galactic Storm. As the Kree conquer and subjugate the universe, a band of heroes goes on an undercover mission to steal the master files from the Kree communications web. The mission goes wrong; Black Knight and Smasher are killed and the files can only be saved by overwriting the Vision’s programming. With the information on those files, the rebels launch a full-scale intergalactic war under the direction of Captain America. The rebels are joined by Silver Surfer with a band of cosmic heroes and by Thor leading the warriors of Asgard; the battle is furious and Wonder Man is killed. While this is going on, a small party led by Cap lands on the Kree homeworld. They are met by the Kree Starforce and a fight ensues. In the confusion, Cap makes his way to the central command room where he downloads the program containing the Supreme Intelligence. On-line again, it unleashes its wrath over its betrayal by wiping out the entire Kree Empire and then it destroys itself for good. Wonder Man’s mind is implanted in Vision’s body and Captain America looks ahead to rebuilding the galaxy.
