Fear Itself was a major crossover event that Siege was not. Seven issues by Matt Fraction and Stuart Immonen, plus a lengthy epilogue that was also a miniseries. Like Siege, it was a Thor-centric story given that the villain had a vague Norse origin and his avatars have faux Asgardian Kirbyesque design. It was definitely a retelling of the Ragnarok cycle, something Walter Simonson did twice in his legendary run on Thor. Fear Itself centered on the part of myth where Thor battles the Serpent and...more

And apparently someone at Marvel has resurrected the old Journey into Mystery title from back in the day, and I like that because it had some interesting content when I was a kid, and I always loved the name.

But the whole new storyline seems kind of lame to me: Loki somehow is transformed into a child and the writing just isn't that good. I read another collection from this new storyline in hardback, and I found myself skipping around and flipping through...it just wasn't that well done.

Fear Itself is a little better, but not much. There's a Ragnarok scenario which all comes together way too quickly without being played out the way it should. Apparently today's comics readers don't have much of a long-term attention span, if they ever did. But I'd suggest something like Ragnarok could use a little more build up. Anyway, it turns out the Midgard Serpent is Odin's brother (which isn't the way that should go, but whatever), and if you know anything about Norse mythology, that's who Thor will be killed by. And he dies at the end. So sorry for the spoiler, but everyone knows the Midgard Serpent kills Thor, even Thor himself...and that's why, what with this dark sense of futility and loss hanging over the tales of the Norse gods, their stories are so much cooler that those of the toga-clad sissies from warmer southern climes.

What would be really cool would be if Marvel kept Thor dead, kind of like Captain Marvell, the only superhero who ever really died. But if Thor isn't already back as I write this, I'm sure he will be soon enough because there's way too much movie tie-in money to make at the moment.

But if you want to read something much better that plays with the idea of the Norse gods and Ragnarok and ties in a bunch of other mythological storylines, try Neil Gaiman's American Gods. You won't be sorry...(less)

I stayed away from this on it's original release in early to mid 2011 as there were too many tie-ins and it seemed too big. This UK collection contains the prologue by Brubaker and Eaton and the original 7 issue main series by Fraction and Immomen but NOT the additional 3 part epilogue (more on that later).

The prologue is an a typical example of Modern 21st Century Big 2 comics. It's a well crafted tale and the art is okay but it's tied into an ongoing narrative (not just of this crossover but the Marvel universe as a whole) and as such not much happens. I'm sure this probably started the tidal wave of online negativity towards this series because of that.

As for the main series, well, except for one bit where something unfortunate happens to Captain America that isn't especially clear (and I'm not entirely sure that's not down to a missing page or two) the art by Stuart Immomen and Inker Wade von Grawbadger is fantastic. It looks big and epic. The panels filled with energy and the storytelling clear. Stuart Immomen has been doing this for 20 odd years and just keeps getting better.

Now for the meat, the story by Matt Fraction. I've seen other commentary liken this to DC comics 'Legends' series from 1986. In terms of the one line 'Elevator pitch' then yes, it's very similar. But that's no bad thing. It's a big theme of 'What happens when the world loses faith in superheroes?'. The only concern is that Marvel have trotted this out as subtext across many of the events and follow ups in the last few years (Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark reign) so it's not new.

The set-up is OK (Odin's brother escapes and begins and reign of terror designed to power him up enough to destroy the Nine worlds of Norse myth, Odin plans to destroy Earth to deprive him of his power source) and the underlying theme of what people will do when they are afraid comes through strongly. Most of these big events struggle a bit to have a discernible through-line but this one stands out. The pacing holds up reasonably well, justifying the 7 issue run and the beats land in the right places although in some respects this becomes predictable. By the time a certain character meets his unexpected fate, you know where this is going and when it will hit.

I mostly enjoyed it but it missed out on a better rating due to a few problems. First, plot logic. The Serpent's (Odin's brother) plan is to inspire terror by killing everything. Well, yes, while you're killing people the rest will be afraid but once everyone's dead no one will be feeling anything to power you up. And Odin's counter plan to destroy Earth (driven by fear of the Serpent fulfilling a prophecy involving Thor) would surely inspire more fear and power the serpent even more. Little things like that crop up as potholes in an otherwise flat road and when you hit it you notice. One of the bad guys (Grey Gargoyle) isn't introduced and doesn't have any panel time actually doing anything as well. I gather that was covered in an Iron Man tie in.

Second, Character logic. Matt Fraction has obviously spent a lot of time working this. As I said before the theme is clear, much clearer than most other comics. But sometimes too clear. Spider-man has a moment of clarity after a big fight and 'quits' to find his family instead being part of the counter attack. You know where this is going even before it happens. He'll find May Parker and she'll inspire him to act on the 'Great Responsibility' he carries and rejoin the fight. That's fine. I've seen it argued that it's cliche, but thematically it works. What I don't like is that the set-up for that is abrupt coming out of nowhere. Perhaps it was set-up in a tie-in comic reprinted elsewhere, but I don't know that. If so, a note in panel to tell me there was more to this story somewhere else would have helped. There are a couple of things like going on. Again pot holes in an otherwise flat track.

Third, target audience. I'm going to have to sidebar for a bit on this. I do read comics regularly but not everything and sometimes in reprint months after the fact. I bought this in a bookstore and not from a comic shop. It's racked with a limited number of others. This is not a book that you can just pick up and read without extensive knowledge. As a long term reader, I know Tony Stark has a drink problem. Therefore I get that when he sacrifices his sobriety to gain an audience with Odin it is 'A BIG THING (tm)'. But I'm not a current reader so I have no idea if he's fallen off the wagon already. And if I were not a long term reader I'm not sure the significance would hit. There are some moments like that also.

Last, endings and epilogues. The actual ending of the story is fine. The Serpent is defeated with an appropriate sacrifice and our heroes pick up the pieces. And then it doesn't stop. I understand that as presented in a monthly form, the series was designed to launch a number of new titles, all of which get an epilogue here. The problem is they are all designed to set up conflicts and mysteries in their own titles and so are all cliffhanger endings. Meaning you finish the book without the story feeling done. Marvel seems to do this a lot and on a serialized basis I get why. But it doesn't necessarily encourage anyone to pick up another book. DC are much better at putting out stories that have a sense of closure to it.

In short, it's enjoyable enough but don't pay full price for it.(less)

Villain Sin, the daughter of the Red Skull, awakens an old monster in the Earth, which turns out to be an old enemy of Asgard and which infects the world with fear. This mini-series, sadly, focuses on the waking of the villains and some big set pieces with the heroes, and it's pretty dull -- you don't really get a sense of how fear affects most of the heroes, maybe because they're supposed to be too heroic to feel fear (Thor and Steve Rogers).

Odin has an evil brother that was imprisoned for eons under the ocean, who now rises up and transforms some of Marvel's greatest heroes and villains into mega-weapons against Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and the rest of the Avengers. It is a terrific threat that they seemingly cannot overcome. There is a Thor versus *enhanced* Hulk fight scene which is pretty good, as these two haven't had a battle in quite som...more

Combine Norse mythology with Marvel superheroes and how could anything be bad? In this story, Asgard has fallen to earth, along with Odin and all the gods. When Odin feels the serpent, his nemesis stirring, and growing in strength, he takes Asgard back into the heavens and prepares for the end of the world. This leaves the Avengers to deal with the chaos on earth, as the serpent unleashes destruction and terror across the planet.

I have mixed feelings about this. Whilest many could argue it is yet another massive crossover which nobody wanted, this one has the potential to be the most epic, as the sheer power of having what amounts to a small army of mini-Thors smashing the world apart could lead to some amazing battles - and occasionally does. Thor has an amazing battle against a couple of the Worthy. However, at other time, the epicness just fails to come through. Bucky's death is rather devoid of emotion, to the point...more

Marvel's 2011 crossover event packed quite a bit more punch than DC's did this year, although from a standpoint of plot and themes it's in many ways a rehash of the classic DC crossover Legends.

More than relying on simple violence, though, he unleashes a w...more

As far as cross overs go, this was good, but way to serious. There was some humor but for the most part it was grim. Marvel taps into the current financial crisis and just imagines how we would be if it gets worse. We see the worst of ourselves, but, eventually, we see the best of ourselves. We see heroes making the ultimate sacrifices of mind and spirit. I wish the turning of the tide didn't happen in the last chapter. It would have felt better if we had some hope in...more

And I find myself excited at the climax (and new premise - a weapon for each Avenger - what will each of our beloved heroes earn that suits them? How will this glean insight into their true nature?)

I noticed the reference to Captain America leading a "militia", and I couldn't help think back to the overblown controversy over the Captain America/tea party militia storyline of a couple years back. This felt a little forced, but I'll allow it as it seems to suit the moment.

The wrap-up feels a little tidy, but then it's a Marvel Event and if you just wait a few months there'll be another one to shake things up again (for a short while).

Can I rave for a moment about the art? As much as the story isn't mind-blowing, the art does its very best to look bigger than life, creative and fun. The lines are heavy and the colours are juicy and dazzling.

And then had no access to the US market's comic books. But now things changed... for better or worse as depicted in this Arc in Marvel universe.

making things more or less short (or not) - as I can't be objective comic book fan and judge I will say this - really loved the art, and the way it is presented. (presentation of the collection itself is gorgeous with it's hard-covers so rare for comics, and this high quality coated paper (I am a bit of a designer/artist), was enjoying myself while flipping pages one after another). And as for the illustration ans style itself - must say - would have opted for the intro chapter artist's work rather than the main one's. it was just more to my liking. But overall - love the art. (maybe the feeling of nostalgia takes over unbiased judgement).
Downsides to the visual part- well - typesetter should have looked for better, more legible fonts used for Asgardian dialogues- sometimes they were a bit more than heard to comprehend; and those BIG RED LETTERS - AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!, were too,a bit... terrible. but well - it's probably just nitpicking due to my profession (about red letters, not the unreadable Asgardian fonts XD).

As I mentioned above- -visuals were great, but why the 2/5 rating - the plot and how it went on. First few chapters were like -WHOW, OK, niice, that's a good one, and other exclamations of that sort, and later on... 3 last chapters were like..oh, come on... after chapter Four (Book Four),it was - ok,it will be either rushed and anti-climaxing or it will not end with this collection and things will go on. even though 32$ is a hefty price to pay for a "book"(I usually buy books and manga ranging from 9.99-20$), I would have wished that the later of foreseen scenarios was the case, but I was wrong. Fear Itself ended abruptly and well.. it was boring. simply boring ending, and rushed and the BOSS battle was well... emm... a bit nothing at all. things happened, happened hectic,someone died and puff, it all ended. what the hell... Now I see what other reviewers meant when said, that "everything happened, but didn't happen at all." Beginning-nice, ending-terrible. 'Nuff said without spoiling.

Could I recommend it to someone else? Well, if you are a comic book lover, that hasn't seen one in many years - I do, for others, more up-to-date - doubt that. If only a die hard Marvel universe fan.

In the end - my 32$ spent well? yepz, and no remorse! (want to find carnage or venom series in hardcover collection now...) (less)

I picked this up for Immonen's art and it did not disappoint. As an author Fraction has outdone himself on Iron Man, so I was hoping for more in this epic Fear Itself. It was enjoyable, but it lacked any real pathos, and felt much to discordant to really be dramatic. It was classic sturm und drang, but did little in terms of character development and world building. Fraction usually excells at this in Iron Man, and this just fell flat.

But the art was gorgeous. Four stars for that alone.

Not half so bad as I was expecting. Yes, there are failures of characterisation at times, and Odin in particular comes across as a bit of a plank, but the core idea - of a myth that predates the myths we know, the biggest secret of all coming home to roost - is strong. And if the actuality of the story does just consist of lots of big lunks with hammers twatting stuff, then at least there aren't the whole issues where nothing bloody happens which tended to beset Bendis' big crossovers.

A sadly mediocre crossover. I really liked some of the visceral elements of the story, like the mystical hammers transforming people. However, beyond that the story is really paper thin, with no depth. It also feels really color-by-numbers: notable death halfway through, check; all of reality looks doomed by penultimate issue, check; etc. As I understand anything of lasting effect was also reversed within the month, making the book *really* pointless.

It bothers me that Marvel is following DC into my least favourite new trend. the emotional spectrum as antagonist. I did not enjoy the first six issues of this anywhere near as much as I thought I should.

I just hope the crossovers provide better fare. Iron Man has been a disappointment. Let's stop in the middle of a major action packed crossover to build some weapons and lecture dwarves on the dangers of drinking and the greatness of human compassion.
