Conspiracy, Abnett and Kordey’s two-issue series from 1998, feels a lot like the neglected young sibling of Marvels and Ruins. Like those two books, it is a fully painted look back at the history of Marvel’s characters. While Marvels plays it straight and Ruins is the world’s most depressing What If?, Conspiracy imagines what a world including superheroes, giant monsters, and a spy agency as insanely powerful as SHIELD might really be like.
