Marvel Reveals the What If World the Watcher Was Afraid to Watch

Warning: contains preview images for Reckoning War: Trial of the Watcher #1!

As the host of What If…? Uatu the Watcher has seen countless worlds across Marvel’s multiverse, but there is one world even he will not go to and its incredible story can be told in Reckoning War: Trial of the Watcher #1, a special one-shot tying into the upcoming Reckoning War event, spinning out of the Fantastic Four. The book will be written by regular Fantastic Four scribe Dan Slott with art by Javier Rodriguez.

Uatu first appeared in 1963’s Fantastic Four #13 and was created by the legendary Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. He is one of the Watchers, one of the oldest races in the Marvel Universe. The Watchers chronicle the history of the universe, always watching but never acting and never getting involved. Unlike his comrades, Uatu has broken his vow on several occasions and allied himself with Earth’s heroes. The character was seemingly killed several years ago, but returned late last year, warning Nick Fury of a great war on the horizon, a “reckoning.” Later, Marvel revealed that the “reckoning” Uatu mentioned was going to be a major event, called Reckoning War. Written by Dan Slott, the book not only spins out of his current run on the Fantastic Four, but out of elements Slott has seeded in other books over the past 16 years. Uatu will be front and center for Reckoning War and this March, readers will learn about a dark secret from Uatu, and the rest of the Watcher’s, past.

In a press release on Marvel’s website, readers learn there is one “What If” world in the multiverse the Watcher has avoided for an unknown reason. Whatever has transpired on that world spells doom not only for Uatu, but the universe as a whole. Writer Dan Slott explains that Uatu and the Watchers are “keenly aware” of the “Original War”—a massive conflict predating the universe, and its potential to happen again. Slott went on to tease that Uatu will once again break his vow of non-interference, saying “maybe it’s time for the Watcher to stop watching and start doing.”

The press release did not offer any additional information on the book, leaving fans waiting until March 16 to learn more about this mysterious world even the Watcher has shunned. Why does this world terrify Uatu? How does it relate to Reckoning War? Perhaps this world is the home reality of Reckoning War’s antagonists? And what role do the Fantastic Four play in this? Whatever the case, the idea of a world so terrible that Uatu refuses to watch it should make fans’ blood run cold—and greatly raises the stakes for Reckoning War.

Marvel’s multiverse overflows with “What If” worlds, showing paths not taken and what could have been. Yet in Reckoning War: Trial of the Watcher #1, readers learn there is one world so horrible not even Uatu has been to it.
