The Story:
Before artist Mike Wieringo passed away, he had completed seven pages of a What If? story featuring the "replacement" Fantastic Four: Spider-Man, the Hulk, Ghost Rider and Wolverine! Marvel Comics generously donated the script and Mike's art to The Hero Initiative. Mike's talented friends and fans stepped up to finish the story, and pay tribute to Mike in this great tale!

This awesome 48-page book contains the full story, and additional written tributes to Mike, and includes artists Arthur Adams, Paul Renaud, Stuart Immonen, Cully Hamner, Alan Davis, David Williams, Sanford Greene, Humberto Ramos, Skottie Young, Mike Allred, and Barry Kitson.

This benefit for The Hero Initiative is published with the full support of Marvel Comics, and on the advice and consent of the family of Mike Wieringo.
