Fear Itself
Issues 1-5:
The Good: The series has had some pretty good art and a strong pace, it’s tried to throw in a few twist and turns to shock the marvel fans and in some areas has managed to do this well. The concept itself is a good one and picked some pretty impressive people to be the “heralds” as I like to call them. I really have enjoyed Sin in the issues and that’s coming from a DC fan. I did enjoy the start of the series but we will get on to the negatives in a moment. If you are a Hulk fan then this could be the Event for you...
The Bad: Okay not sure where to start here!! Characters seem to be a good place, the writing for particular characters have been way off base, Thor and Cap for the main and not only that but is this really an EVENT to me it just seems like a story arch for Thor. I have looked at the positives for the series and I just don’t think they outweigh the negatives, some of the things they are doing within the story is just undermining years of character development to push the plot (which I understand happens). Marvel just seem more intent on pushing these Events and getting them out fast and fresh then actually taking the time to dig into a good story. I guess I have lost my faith in marvel to preduce a worthy event....
