THE WORTHY ARE CHOSEN

The Story:

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

Washington D.C.: Cap, Widow, Falcon, and Shang-Chi are fighting Skadi and they get all crazy war like. Loki frees Thor in Asgard, which now looks like some crazy battleship. Couple shots of Juggernaut and Absorbing Man blowing things up. scene of Red She-Hulk running from Hulk who is blowing things up. He's about to kill her when Spider-Woman, Ms. Marvel and Protector come and fire their stuff at him. Thing is in Yancy Street and he tries to pick up the hammer and it works and he is ANGRIR BREAKER OF SOULS. He makes lots o destruction. Loki reveals to Thor that the 5 main other Asgardians don't agree with Odin's plan to blow up Earth to get rid of the Serpent and they want to send Thor to Midgard to help battle. Odin shows up and gives Thor a chance. He gives him back Mjolnir. Back on earth, Steve decides to join the fray. Back to the Bucky-Skadi battle. Shit goes down and Sin rips of his arm and energy-impales him through the chest. She walks off and Bucky lies dying(?).
Note: I doubt highly that he'll actually die cause I still think that we're gonna see him in the pages of Captain America (not as Cap, but as Winter Solider), so a) he dies very briefly, or b) he's in a coma. I'd like if if he died (I like when characters die, what?1) but I doubt that'll happen.
By the way: the full list of the Worthy is as follows (Sin-Juggernaut-Hulk-Grey Gargoyle-Absorbing Man-Titania-Attuma-Thing)

The Good:
Art is relatively good, but I don't like how they draw Thor, they make him look fat. I love the Worthy idea, but that's about it.

The Bad:
I was originally so interested in the idea of the story, but now the last two issues are basically pure war with not a lot of actual good fighting. I wasn't really interested in the story (I couldn't even really tell if there was one).

The Verdict:
I'm gonna keep watching this series, but my hope is down, and I'm not expecting as much. I wish that they'd make this bimonthly and stop having all the spin-offs, cause I think it'd be a lot better if we got the whole thing in one series, not five or whatever.

Fear Itself #3 - The Hammer That Fell on Yancy Street by blurred_view on June 01, 2011

Fear Itself begins to buckle under its own hype as the awaited moments of the third issue prove to be an unclear crisis and a cheap death. The supposed "shock ending to end all shock endings" turns out to be a moment many readers expected to come since before Fear Itself started and a moment rather painfully foreshadowed from the very first pear of the story. It is beginning to be difficult to get a feel for what exactly the meat of Fear Itself's story is. We have characters behaving as if it i...

Fear Itself #3 - The Hammer That Fell on Yancy Street by mattdemers on June 01, 2011

It seems like last week we had a few problems with spoilers in posts. This week, I'm going to give you fair warning: there will be spoilers in this post. Big ones. Because take it from me: stuff happens in this issue.The GoodHoo boy. Bucky's dead. Or dying. Or in a coma. Out of action. Kaput. Seeing white. He's missing a (bionic) arm and has a big ol' hole in his chest.And I honestly didn't see it coming.While this might seem a bit weird to point out, I find it comforting that the comic industry...
