Marvel Comics provided CBR with an exclusive preview of What If…? Miles Morales #2, by writer John Ridley, artist Farid Karami, colorist Chris Sotomayor and letterer VC’s Cory Petit. The preview reveals an alternate version of Miles who is the equivalent of X-Men mainstay Wolverine in action.
What If…? Has, as a comic book series, explored alternate possibilities for various heroes and looked at what might happen if changes were made to Marvel’s Earth-616 continuity. The publisher’s current Miles Morales series, which is slated for five issues, is looking at alternate versions of the titular hero and has already showed off a Captain America version of the character. There are also plans for a Miles Hulk and Miles Thor.
CBR VIDEO OF THE DAY
In our exclusive preview of What If…? Miles Morales #2, the titular hero finds himself in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, where he’s accosted by Sentinels for being a mutant. He then puts out his claws and attacks the Sentinels, showing that he’s the best there is at what he does, and what he does isn’t very nice for mutant-hating robots. As the preview comes to a close, Miles faces off against Agent J, who is working for his universe’s version of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Created by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli, Miles first appeared in 2011’s Ultimate Fallout #4. The character served as Spider-Man in the Ultimate Marvel universe following the death of that world’s Peter Parker. Later, during the events of 2015’s Secret Wars storyline, Miles joined the standard Earth-616 universe. Like Peter, Miles gets bitten by a radioactive spider, which gives him powers similar to those of his predecessor. However, Miles has a number of unique abilities, including camouflage and his venom strike.
Created by Roy Thomas, Len Wein and John Romita Sr., Wolverine made his first full appearance in 1974’s The Incredible Hulk #181. A mutant, Wolverine is able to regenerate after taking damage, making him incredibly durable. His bones were also infused with adamantium, making him virtually indestructible. In the years since his creation, Wolverine has become one of the most popular characters in the history of Marvel Comics.
Releasing April 13 from Marvel Comics, What If…? Miles Morales #2 features a main cover from Sara Pichelli and Nolan Woodward, as well as variants from Declan Shalvey; Carlos Pacheco; Rafael Fonteriz and Guru e-Fx; and Paco Medina.

To celebrate our first art car with EDC we’re going to be releasing a limited capsule of Trap Nation visualizer long sleeves. The link is below!

This year’s Academy Awards apparently are not the first time actor Will Smith has shown an ugly side, according to Paul Rodriguez, who appeared with him in the 2001 film “Ali.”
As with “King Richard,” Smith was nominated for Best Actor for “Ali,” the biopic about legendary boxer Muhammad Ali.
Rodriguez, 67, told The Sun after witnessing the “slap heard around the world” Sunday that when Smith struck Oscars host Chris Rock before being announced as the winner of the award, it brought bad memories from the filming of “Ali” back to the surface.

Rodriguez — who portrayed Ali’s ringside doctor, Ferdie Pacheco — said Smith made his life a “living hell.”
“Chris Rock only took one slap at the Oscars … but I took a verbal slap from Will Smith every day,” Rodriguez said.
“And sometimes I think the emotional injuries are just as deep, if not deeper, than physical ones.”
Rodriguez recounted that the two had a cordial relationship prior to “Ali,” having first worked together in the 1993 movie “Made in America.”

“Back then he wasn’t the superstar he is now. We hung quite a lot and everything had always been really friendly between us,” Rodriguez said, according to The Sun.
“From time to time, I’d run into him in the studio when we were working on different projects, and everything was terrific.”

But things took a dramatic turn while on location in Africa filming “Ali” when the real Ferdie Pacheco showed up, and Rodriguez said an incident happened between Pacheco and Smith.
“I was off that day, so I didn’t see the commotion,” Rodriguez said. “But the real Ferdie Pacheco was on the set, and apparently he was inebriated and went into Will’s dressing room and was complaining that his character should have a bigger part and should be played by Danny Garcia instead of me.

“Things escalated, and apparently Pacheco started calling Will the N-word. Police were called, and he was escorted off the set – it was bad.
“Will never looked at me the same from that point onward.”
Rodriguez recalled one scene they were shooting when he was lacing up Smith’s gloves.
Suddenly, Rodriguez said, Smith jerked his arms away and barked, “You don’t know what the f— you’re doing.”

“I’m like, ‘Will, I’m just lacing up gloves, the camera isn’t even on me right now.’ I think my lines were something like, ‘Stick and move, Champ, stick and move.’
“And he just looked at me again and said, ‘You don’t know what you’re doing,’ and everything just went drastically downhill from there.”
Rodriguez told The Sun he was mocked and bullied by Smith routinely thereafter.
“It went from one of the happiest moments of my life to a horrible situation,” Rodriguez told “Inside Edition” regarding his casting and then his experience working on the film.

“I feel like I got slapped every day.”
One day, Smith appeared to threaten Rodriguez, who is Mexican-American, in a racially tinged way at a party thrown for the “Ali” cast at former South Africa president Nelson Mandela’s home, according to Rodriguez.
“I remember I was getting some food from the buffet in that beautiful house when he came up to me and said, ‘You need to be very careful. You’re a long way from anyone who likes you. Because you’re in Africa, there are no Mexicans here,’” Rodriguez said, per The Sun.
He asked Smith to elaborate, but the A-lister declined to do so.

“If that’s not a threat, I don’t know what is,” Rodriguez said.
He had reached a breaking point and tried to see if he could somehow bridge the divide with Smith on set one day.
“‘Look, if you’re unsatisfied with me, I’m not gonna sit here and take this abuse. It’s me, Paul Rodriguez, man. I’m not Pacheco, I’d never use the word he used — that’s not who I am. I’m playing this guy,’” Rodriguez said.
“I asked him why he was choosing to hurt me, but I couldn’t get through. He just told me to ‘shut up and stand there’ [in silence].”

Rodriguez said fellow actor Jon Voight encouraged him not to quit the movie, saying Smith is a method actor (meaning staying in character during production) and under a lot of pressure.
Rodriguez stuck it out but vowed never to work with the “Fresh Prince” star again unless he apologized.
Though Rodriguez’s character had lines in the movie, none of them made it into the final product, which he said may have been influenced by Smith’s attitude toward him on set.
“I had lines. I didn’t audition to be an extra here,” Rodriguez told “Inside Edition.”

In 1918, Bonnie and Livingston Paulk moved to Union Springs, Alabama with $50 and a dream to make a living off the land. They planted two pounds of cabbage seeds in their new backyard, then hauled the heads to town for sale. The business took off, and soon they began to diversify their products, planting onions, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplants, and more.
Over the next century, Bonnie Plants continued to grow. By 1935, the first Bonnie Plants greenhouses were built. By 1983, plants were sold in 13 states. A little over 10 years later, they could be found in every continental state. Today, 4,500 people work at 87 Bonnie Plants growing facilities across the country, and you can find nearly 300 plant varieties in all 50 states plus Canada.
Over the past couple of years, the pandemic has influenced every industry. Bonnie Plants was no different. Helming the change was Mike Sutterer, who became president and CEO of the company in January 2020. The 19-year veteran of Scotts MiracleGro joined Bonnie Plants at a pivotal time. In 2020, more than 21 million people tried gardening for the first time, creating a huge opportunity for growth. At the same time, businesses were being forced to shut down due to COVID-19.
“We were navigating through maintaining our status as an essential business because supply chains were taxed and grocery store shelves were empty, so people were turning to vegetable plants to secure their food source for themselves and their families,” Sutterer says. “I was spending hours on the phone every day with public office holders and policy makers to ensure we could still deliver the food plants people needed. It was a surreal time, but we also had 21 million new gardeners in 2020.”
Over the next two years, Bonnie Plants has not only weathered the storm but come out better and stronger than ever. They’ve begun offering more products, including a line of super-hot peppers made in partnership with Ed Currie, who created the Carolina Reaper.
“It sold out in 24 hours,” Sutterer says. “We had over 1,000 people on the waiting list. We think there’s a big opportunity in offering people unique flavors, textures, and colors that are easy to grow.”
They’ve partnered with Scotts MiracleGro to provide complete gardening solutions for home gardeners. But the biggest change they made was doubling down on e-commerce and direct-to-consumer sales. Part of that meant creating a state-of-the-art e-commerce growing and distribution facility that would also serve as the company’s new headquarters. And when it came time to choose where, they decided to move just 50 miles down the road from where it all began. They’re now honoring the company’s Alabama roots with a new facility in Opelika, where they support a partnership with Auburn University and are quickly becoming a vital part of the Auburn-Opelika community.
“As we evolve and grow, expanding our capabilities in e-commerce and unique genetic plants, it was important for us to stay in Alabama, which has been our home for more than 100 years,” Sutterer says.
As Bonnie Plants looks to the future, Sutterer says the goal is to not only maintain the company’s position as the number one purveyor of vegetable and herb plants, but of all live goods, including flowers, succulents, and houseplants. They also hope to expand their sustainability efforts and continue to grow their e-commerce operations.
“Our mission is to deliver any plant, anywhere, any time,” Sutterer says. “It’s an unbelievably exciting time to be at Bonnie.”
