    A death not noticed

      

    Cover

    I was pretty excited to read this issue because the cover looked pretty cool. Especially because we see someone holding the Captain America mask and we can see the result of what happened to Bucky in the last issue. Something I like about the Fear Itself main series covers is that color is always different. Even though this issues color was a lot like the first issue’s cover.

    Story

    Steve Rodgers, Tony Stark, and Thor all work together to fight the Serpent and all the people working for him. They want avenge the death of Bucky Barnes.

    Best Part

    I am happy to see that all the heroes are finally working together to save the world instead of them all being separate. It was also nice to finally see what was actually causing all of this fear because in the main series they did not really explain it well. At least now we know it is the Serpent. We can see that he is going to be the main villain of the story. The best part in this issue I think though was to see Steve back in the Cap suit. It has been a while but it was nice to see.

    Worst Part

    When Bucky died in the last issue I was pretty upset even though I am not a big Bucky fan he has been a big part in the Marvel universe especially because when he took up the mantel of Captain America. Now in this issue you would think it would be pretty sad because Bucky had died a close friend to the superhero community. Everyone in this issue pretty much just says too bad and leaves him on a table. This issue should have at least centered a little on Bucky and his death. That is what I really expected to come out of this issue. Maybe not have a funeral or anything in this issue but at least show that people are sad. This was a big disappointment in the issue.

    Art

    I am always very happy with the art in this main series for Fear Itself. With a big event like this you have to make the art perfect especially because you know a lot of people will be picking it up.

    Pick it up or not

      Fear Itself #4 - Worlds on Fire by blurred_view on July 07, 2011

      Fear Itself arrives at its middle chapter with a lot of noise but seemingly little understanding of what it is doing there. It throws in big action and big drama with little to no weight behind them, slowing the momentum of this story to a crawl. The saddest thing about this hollow experience is that it seems unaware of how superficial it is.  The issue picks up from Bucky Barnes' death in the previous issue and does nothing to give any meaning to it. It apparently makes Black Widow sad. Then, i...

      The Story Thor returns back on Earth in Broxton, former resting place of Asgard. The townspeople tell him to scram, they're better off without superhumans, and to "go blow someone else up". Thor leaves. The Serpent and Odin have some big long monologues about winning, while some dynamic scenes play of the terror that everyone is facing. We flash over to Iron Man, Black Widow, and Nick Fury, talking about what to do. Bucky is lying there, looking very dead. Thor shows up and tells them Odin's pla...
