	It's been a few months since the book released, but this wiki contains no mention of it other than the one I added to the main part of this page. Should we start some kind of small project to either create it's own page on the wiki, as I left a stub link in there, or should we simply add mention of it or the original What If? book page? I also want to list the bonus chapter at some point in the list of articles, but I don't have a good idea of where to put it.
