With all the enchanted hammers in the foreground I'm left wondering if this is another mini-event meant to raise awareness of THOR at least in the comic shops. The movie will only be 6 weeks or so away by then.
Marvel's "Fear Itself"
- Thread starter Whofan
- Start date
Thor does seem to be a central figure in the series overall so that wouldn't be surprising...his storyline is one of the more interesting ones for me. Kind of seems out of the blue that he's fallen from grace again right when his father returns? Lame. I'll toss in the Spider-Man Fear It's Self tie-ins along with the ones I mentioned above that I'll be getting.
I didn't see it in any of the solicitations but for an event called "Fear Itself" you'd think Man-Thing might get a one-shot like some characters get during these things.
His tagline after all is "Whoever knows Fear burns at the Man-Thing's touch".
What does a loosely sentient creature fear? If anything?

Yeah, that occured to me. Maybe that issue is a tie-in issue.
It's the only reason I'm buying Thunderbolts right now. I did enjoy seeing Man-Thing put the final kibosh on King Hyperion at the end of the current issue.

Here's a Matt Rraction interview. He touches on "Fear It's Self" at the end of the article but it's mostly about his plans for Iron Man.

The issue came out last Wed and as a Man-Thing fan I enjoyed it but it is not part of Fear Itself. Just ironic timing it seems
It was announced yesterday that there will be a digital tie in series...I think it's supposed to deal with the Who's Worthy promos.
I have been hearing of this Fear Itself stuff - but I'm clueless as to what it is going to be about? Is it an Avengers based thing? Or something bigger (like Secret Invasion and Civil War) or more like a phase (like Dark Reign)?
I guess I need to google this. But sometimes the two companies will drum up stuff without telling us basics. Hopefully wikipedia is my friend.

^ It's a big line-wide event, ala Civil War and Secret Invasion.
The T-Bolts will be involved, as will The Avengers.

It's Marvel's first company wide event since "Secret Avengers" (no matter what some fans think) and their answer to DC's "Flashpoint" which is their big summer event.
^I think you mean Secret Invasion.
Yes I did haha. I'm having a bad day 
Marvel has been extremely vague about the plot of it, same thing with DC about Flashpoint which is good to me. Yes from what we know about Fear It's Self the God of Fear has returned. Somehow Red Skull triggered the events of present day back in World War II and Sin is involved (Red Skull's daughter). Thor, Iron Man, and Steve Rogers are very much in the center of events. There was a new promo released today featuring them.
Thanks all!
I've read only a little bit of Red Skull (in the Bucky Barnes as Cap America stories). Not sure, if I encountered Sin before. Don't remember an Asgardian "God of Fear" either. So I guess this will be all new stuff for me around this year's end (when the trades start coming out).

Sin has been featured in Captain America...not sure if she's really been elsewhere lately. Yeah the first trades should be out around November/December.
Oh boy here we go again. Siege was an Avengers centric book, you even say that in your post Mr. Light. It was never considered a company wide crossover event.
