Marvel has been bringing up the subject of fear in their latest batch of mysterious teasers. The image above was released yesterday and the one below came out today. 

Xerox-Kitty also pointed out this mysterious video found on their site: 
  
  I'm sure we can expect to see more teasers this week. What are your thoughts? What do you think this is dealing with? 
 

Update #1 

Here's another image. WTF happened here?

Marvel releases so many teasers it's insane...I hear more about teasers then I ever do about the storylines themselves, do all their teasers actually end up becoming an event?

I'm definitely intrigued. It looks like it's gonna be a good one!

Whatever the case, I wanna know why the heck Cyclops raided Magneto's closet. Hopefully he washed the suit first.

Cyclops has felt like the 'New Magneto' more & more over the last few years that it's almost a relief to just get this over & done with... It's time he turned to the dark side & started raging about mutant superiority.

Wondering if this would be on different books or in a single one.

How has he felt like Magneto? The only thing that is similar to what Magneto did was Utopia...

It's how I feel about the way the character has been written.  He isn't the leader of the X-Men.  He is the holier-than-thou leader of a mutant army, dedicated so much to the survival of his 'species' that he over-looks sacrifices and casualties as an acceptable means to an end... like I said, it feels like he's only a step away from taking over Magneto's old role about mutant superiority.

What? The X-Men are actually getting involved in a big event with other Marvel characters? Say it ain't so!

well the first pic is obviously about the fear we all felt when we heard that Circuit City was closing and that the nearest Best Buy was an hour away

watching that video for the last 10 mins hoping i can find Scarlet Witch in it...no joy =(

Ultimate Spider-Man: Fears the problems he has to face will be bigger than he can handle. 
 
Cyclops: Fears he is becoming the type of leader he was trained to oppose. 
 
I feel this will be an ongoing theme throughout Marvel's upcoming year, rather than some big event. It'll cross all lines from 616 to Ultimate.

Update: Another image has been released.

Secret Wars reference?

This definitely is the 'Fear Without Man' that was part of the time line in Avengers #5.

  It's Marvel. What do you think?

That would be cool too. But Marvel has their event 'Architects' and a lot of secret, huge stuff is supposed to be coming in 2011. So this is probably more than just a theme. Either I am stoked. Marvel does ads so well. If only the actual books always delivered.
 
 
Oh and the Cap one is probably for what happens in Bucky's trial.

Wonder if some kind of fear entity like the void gonna mess them all up and face these fears or something.
#30 Posted by thecheckeredman (397 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago - Show Bio

I fear more pointless multi-title crossovers that "change the Marvel Universe forever" and rotating creative teams every six months. 
 
Is there a poster coming soon for that? 
 
:o)

#31 Posted by danhimself (18751 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago - Show Bio

I kind of thought that this might be an out of continuity event but after today's release I'm thinking that it's in continuity now
 

#32 Edited by sergyanime (103 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago - Show Bio

I am not sure if a universe wide fear event is necessary Steven Colbert would be proud. 
 
Also it looks like Spider-Man's afraid of the economy. Is that a hint at him losing his job or him now that he is loaded trying to do something for the people out side of beating face. 
 
Family secrets just seem like something to fight about not fear.
 
Cyclops's fear seems reasonable and the Hulk has had that fear for ever so nothing new there. 
 
Captain America's has the most promises to me though.

#33 Posted by shawn87 (2093 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago - Show Bio

well these have me very curious to say the least

#34 Posted by intothetempest (288 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago - Show Bio

The Spiderman one looks like he fears closing down sales

#35 Posted by fenixREVOLUTION (884 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago - Show Bio

Marvel characters perhaps getting possessed by a giant yellow parasite....? 
 
Okay, seriously, the Cyclops image has me giddy and I don't even read the X-Men titles.

be sure to tune into Marvel.com at noon eastern time for the reveal of what the promos mean!!!!!!!!!!!!

#37 Posted by Deadcool (6764 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago - Show Bio

Spider-man's poster should say:

Do you fear...
....To be Powerless

Instead...
#38 Posted by War Killer (17688 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago - Show Bio

Reminds me of those old Dark Reign teasers that NEVER came to pass, anyone remember these?


I'm fine with this as long as Bucky is still Cap in the end, if he's not I'm going to be ticked.

Cyclops pic is badass!

These teaser pics are interesting and bad ass...but something about that Cyclops and Capt. America one just makes me say "....Damn." to myself. 

#42 Posted by Pizawle (1074 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago - Show Bio

I hate how these teasers cause the mind to run wild with the potential for some true drastic changes to the MU and then common sense kicks in, knowing that will never happen or it'll be retconned in a year or two. Damn you, Marvel. DAMN YOOOUUUUUUU!!!!!!!

this event is gonna be great

Steve is Captain America again!!!!!!!
#45 Posted by Walker696 (985 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago - Show Bio

This event has potential but honestly with the whole thing with the Chaos War going on, who would be the big baddie in this one..........or better yet could this be Marvel's way of bringing somebody and using this as the way they come back with new powers...............I have a few ideas but I have to see how the stories go because there have been at least two heroes who "passed away" who can do something on this scale........be interesting to see where they take this..............also I can see Scott being the new Mags, he's already becoming more and more like Prof X and the only difference between X and Mags was their approach to violence for the betterment of their goals.
