Marvel has always been one for big crossovers, like Secret War, Civil War, Siege, etc. But their latest one, Fear Itself, has been pretty harshly bashed by a lot of you guys on here.
Firstly, I do admit the first issues were stale, boring, and Bucky's death was so predictable I knew it in the first FI teaser ever. But, is it really that bad?
For those who read the first few issues, number 5 and 6 get a lot better and show interesting, defeated sides of characters we think of as perfect. As a longtime comics fan, there is nothing more emotional than the likes of Captain America, Iron Man, and Spider-Man giving up. We see battles, and evil villains, but we never see them winning do we?
Now, a lot of you guys are also saying the newly released "Worthy" teaser shows lame, tron ripoff outfits. To me it shows them knowing how to stop the Serpent, but this time they need Odin's help.
And the lack of Cap and Thor's involvement in that teaser is just because they will both have different, spoiler-filled new outfits(cap probably getting a new shield, Thor with his Odin armor).
Fear Itself, to perfect it, should have had a faster pace and shown some city's getting blown up instead of just saying it happened eventually and showing a little battle. It should have actually delved into fears, instead of acting like every one is in hysteria. Cap should fear the country falling, Tony should fear his tech being used as weapon, Spidey should be afraid of losing someone else, so on. It also could have made Bucky's death mean something.
So, in summary, I don't think it deserves all the hate, but it is far from perfect. Sound off your thoughts in the comments.
