matkrenz's Fear Itself #1 - The Serpent review

    Avatar image for matkrenz

    Peter David did it better.

    Issue #1 of 7 of the new Marvel event.

     

    The Story: Sin gets one of Red Skull's old plans to take over the world and starts something big.Also Tony plans of rebuilding Asgard witht he help of his company but Odin isn't happy and after a brawl with his son all the Asgardian's leave but ehre have been sightings of strange lights plunging all over the world.

     

    The Good: This event is off to a very strong start that set's-up everything that is going to happen in the next issues and tries very hard to tie it in with real world issue's wich works well enough.To me the best part of this is Odin being a pissed of All-Father and beating the living crap out of Thor,yeah I don't know much about Thor and his stuff and it might be completely out of character but it was cool.Tony's idea for rebuilding Asgard is an interesting one.Okay everything in this is interesting.Also I love Immonen's art,it fits perfectly with comic books.

     

    The Bad: This issue starts with Steve and Sharon are dealing with the Mosque near Ground Zero but it feels really akward and Peter David wrote about it way better in X-Factor #217.Also I was a bit confused about all of stuff about Tony,Thor and Steve since im not that big of a Marvel reader,aslo I need to buy the Book of SKull one-shot.

     

    The Verdict: This is a very strong and effective start to the event since it sets-up everything you need for this event and it will provide good action.This is a buy.

      OverviewThere are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them, but giant Marvel mega events with a bajillion cross over tie ins that suck? Perhaps the fear involved in spending so much money only to be overwhelmed or disappointed is perfectly justified in this particular instance. So seeing as hardly anyone reviewed this issue, I thought I would attempt to look at all the parts of this first issue of the giant Marvel Fear Itself event blockbuster, that others might be overlooking, or ...

         Cover I have been really excited for this event. So, seeing this cover just made me excited to jump into the story. Story The people in the world are in chaos and keep causing chaos. So the Avengers know that there are no villains behind this but want to fix it. Also the Avengers are busy wanting to fix Asgard. But Odin does not want to be with humans and they make Asgard with the snap of his fingers. Now the people of the world are left with no gods. Best Part I thought this was a ...
