Marvel's new arch following up the heroic age Fear Itself is coming up. I basically missed most of the Heroic age, but I'm definitely will not miss out.
Fear Itself
In a time of fear and uncertainty, the Avengers make plans to rebuild Asgard, while Sin enacts a mysterious plan to fulfill her destiny and resurrect a forgotten god of fear.
So, fear itself, anyone else excited.
I am looking forward to it. I'm a little confused with Heroic Age though. Heroic Age has ended? I wasn't aware that Heroic Age was a specific arc, I thought it was a new beginning. As in, anyting after Heroic Age is in fact a part of Heroic Age. Can anyone correct me please?
I wait for the collected edditions/graphic novels, so I'm always behind the times by a few months. So I've still not read much on Heroic Age yet.
Could someone give me a very brief explanation of what it's about?
I enjoyed Dark Reign but the Heroic Age has been utter crap, imo. EDIT: I enjoyed the beginning of Dark Reign, the Siege stuff was atrocious.

"The Red Skull's daughter finds out that Odin isn't the real all-father and frees the real one and he makes her a god for her trouble, they basically start sh!t from there.

" @Emperor Gonzo Noir: Really? That sounds...bad. Damn, I was kinda looking forward to that one. "Why does it sound bad?
Honestly, I was hoping "Fear Itself" would revolve around the God of Fear Phobos and Greek mythology, but no it's going to be about Norse mythology...again. We just had the Siege of Asgard? Apparently the focus of the story will be on Thor, Captain America and Red Skull. I have a feeling they are trying to tie this story-arc in conjunction with the release of the Cap and Thor movies. Though I am looking forward to Baron Zemo's role in all of this.
" @InnerVenom123: Don't know, just sounds like one of those things that can't be ended without some kind of immense plot device. One of the reasons I hate reality warper types. How do you beat a god who's got the backing of an all-father (whatever that means)? "He's like the king of gods.
I just gotta know why all the hammers? Every ad I see for this thing its some dude with a hammer or a group of dudes with hammers or a bunch of dudes fighting over a hammer. and yes thats the most times I've ever used the word dudes in a sentence

@InnerVenom123:
I started reading some of my old Spidey stuff yesterday, and my anti-Marvel sentiment subsided, so I'm more than willing to give this a shot :)
" I like the premise. "I agree it does show promise imo. I'm giving it a chance.

" @Emperor Gonzo Noir: Thor was the only norse god with a hammer tho "Staffs, hammers, swords. Freudian.
