Mickey & Friends suit up as Avengers in Marvel & Disney: What‑If… #1

A brand‑new What‑If? issue puts Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie and Pluto into the roles of Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Wasp and Ant‑Man, while a cake monster and a Loki impostor stir up chaotic origins. Expect humor, heroics, and bright art in this Disney‑Marvel crossover.

Marvel’s latest What‑If? experiment invites the classic Disney cast into the superhero arena. In this debut issue, the familiar silhouettes of Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie and Pluto are reimagined as the core members of the Avengers, promising a fresh blend of nostalgia and comic‑book spectacle.

The story flips the iconic lineup: Donald Duck picks up Mjolnir as Thor, Mickey dons the armor of Iron Man, Goofy erupts like the Hulk, while Minnie and Pluto take flight and size as the Wasp and Ant‑Man. Their ascent to heroism is tangled with an absurd cake monster and a mischievous version of Loki, offering a comedic spin on origin myths.

Writer Steve Behling brings a light‑hearted yet clever tone, balancing parody with genuine superhero beats. Artist Alessandro Pastrovicchio supplies bold, clean linework that captures both Disney’s expressive charm and Marvel’s dynamic action. The cover, also by Pastrovicchio, tees up the crossover with vivid color and a pose that feels instantly iconic.

If this mash‑up piques your curiosity, you might also enjoy revisiting the original Avengers debut to see how those archetypal powers were first defined. Either way, the issue stands as a playful doorway into a universe where cartoon mischief meets cosmic stakes. Swing by the shop and give it a look.
