Suck It Beardo! 3
I really, really wanted this event to be epic. It had all the right ingredients, cool concept, big stakes, and a good writer artist team. The actual execution of the story on the other hand, is something else all together though. Don't get me wrong the issue is entertaining, but once I read through it I realized there hadn't been much ground covered since the last issue. The art by Immonen is as usual very pleasing to the eye and I can't see him becoming a much more frequent artist once this...

Really? ...Really? Really. 6
Five issues in, Fear Itself slows to a crawl as the Serpent, who rose last issue, seems to rise again. Or he continues to rise, depending how you wish to phrase it. The point is that the issue fails to move the plot far from where we were at last issue. There are a couple instances where developments emerge, but this issue is largely still at a standstill with the main story, where people with hammers continue to fight. Greg Land really should have been the artist for this event. Why would I sp...

Gorgeous action-packed art saves the lackluster story 0
The early front runner for biggest disappointment of the year would have to be Marvel's "Fear Itself", an efficiently promoted but poorly executed "event" that has failed to delivered on it's potential. Issue #5 is jam-packed with action as it winds closer to it's conclusion and while this issue is certainly better than the last, it's still not enough to drag the series out of the rut it's in. The biggest problem with "Fear Itself" has been Matt Fraction's inability to sell the magnitude of t...

Action Packed!!!! 2
Cover I have been really liking the covers for Fear Itself because of the different colors of the banners and the art has been pretty solid. Story There is a big battle in New York and this time the heroes are losing. Best Part This issue was very action packed which I liked to see because I wanted a big battle in these last couple of issues. Something that I also really liked in this issue was the last words that Captain America said “ Look around you Hawkeye…we are going to lose”. ...

I'll Be Right Back... 2
Like many of the issues of this exhausting crossover, this book was kind of a mixed bag. So let's breakit down shall we? The Bad: Well let's start with the 5 page recap (6 if you count the actual recap at the beginning). I mean did we really need to spend the first 5 pages of story showing that Steve is Cap again, Tony is drunk and begging with Odin for weapons, and Thor is getting the snot beat out of him by Hulk and Thing...we saw all this! For all my bitching and moaning, I (and I su...

Thor's Last Stand! 0
This is the kind of Fear Itself issue i've been waiting for. Where there's a bunch of explosions and battle going on all through out and with the stakes being raised higher. A bunch of stuff has happened in this event but this is probably my favorite issue of it all. I'll admit I love seeing big brawls and colorful action and that's probably why I enjoyed this issue so much. But seriously, you should pick up this issue. It's good. The Plot: The issue begins from the cliffhanger last issue with ...
