"While the victory is won, the aftermath of it will set each of our heroes reeling. The war is over, and the warriors return home, carrying with them scars of battle, both physical and mental. Now the cost will be tallied, the casualties buried and mourned, the rubble swept up and carted away. But the damage to our heroes isn't easily repaired, the wounds not easily healed. Decisions are made and lives are changed - can shattered heroes find renewed courage to go on?" - Tom Brevoort
Also announced at Comic Con in case you missed it at the time was "Battle Scars," a post-event branding for the Marvel Universe titles, similar to Dark Reign and the Heroic Age. Throughout the run of the branding, a number of "Shattered Heroes" one-shots will be released, focusing on the after-effects "Fear Itself" has on the Marvel heroes.
