Le théâtre des opérations du sergent Nick Fury et des Howling Commandos est bien différent de celui de la Seconde Guerre mondiale : cette fois, le champ de bataille n''est rien de moins que... le cosmos ! Le Dr Strange, quant à lui, ne se bat pas contre Dormammu et devient même l''un de ses disciples. Et comme si cela ne suffisait pas, Spider-Man a arrêté le voleur qui allait tuer son oncle Ben. Tout cela s''est bel et bien produit, mais dans une autre réalité. Le Gardien nous raconte ces histoires incroyables et ces choix que nos héros n''ont pas fait. Un nouveau volume rempli d''histoires surprenantes, imaginées par Gary Friedrich, Marv Wolfman, Peter Gillis, Herb Trimpe, Carmine Infantino et d''autres talents remarquables.
