xkoenig's Avengers #14 - Fear Itself, part 2 Red Hulk Smassssh ! review

Solid backup for Fear Itself

I'm starting to like this format for a backup issue supporting a crossover event. The main series Fear Itself is just so busy and quick with things happening that you need something to help you deal with all that's going on. And I think what Bendis is doing in this comic is good. Last issue we had a talky story that showed the build up to the event, and here we see how a monstrous new Thing battles the Red Hulk. Having the story focus around talking heads may seem slow, but as I said Fear Itself is sooooo crazy that you need downtime. Anyway, this issue brings home just how serious things are getting here. Can't wait for the next issue. And can I just add, after seeing Ed McGuinness' cover for the next issue I WISH he would do some Avengers work. His art is superb.

It is a poetic twist for this fight to be a variation on the classic Thing versus Hulk brawls too. Ben...

The Avengers Issue 14 The Avengers #14 Note: I have not followed the main Fear Itself story arch, events may have happened within it contradicting my review. Basically a snapshot, the cover for The Avengers issue 14 previews the action to follow very nicely. The art by John Romita Jr helped contribute to the gritty destruction, like rocks chipping away at each other. The dialogue flowed very well, but the use of time and order of panels felt like this was written for motion media like television...
