WHAT IF? ANNIHILATION # 1

I was hoping for a little more from this What If?. It was good, mind you, but the entire thing read like a flashback or recap issue.
Even after all the recaps for people that didn't read Civil War or Annihilation are taken care of, the remainder of the issue is told in a flashback sequence by the Watcher.
So, while there were cool things, like Blackbolt owning most of the initial Annihilation Wave, it still felt like everything was happening off panel and like I was missing out on the actual story. Even the ending happens a couple pages before the actual end of the comic and the Watcher fills us in on what happened in those final moments afterwards.
However, the issue was still enjoyable. I'm not sure everyone will dig it, but there is a scene at the end with Cap and Tony that pretty much made the issue for me and I have no regrets with this purchase.
Verdict - Check It
