Marvel's Newest Event - Fear Itself

Captain America yelling at Odin in this weeks issue was by far the best moment of this entire event so far.

This issue intimated that Odin is not the "true" or "rightful" ruler of Asgard, but rather the "better" ruler.

I wonder what the next event arc be like? Asgardians are not gods, but high alien life form? 😄

Just read fear#6, The serpent stands with 6 worthy, but Hulk is no where in sight... He fighting the vampires. Sadly all of Hulks opponents are monsters, vampires, and gods. Are they trying to keep his image squeaky clean? : /

Monkey King #1 tie in, wasn't interesting, but I'm happy to know he wasn't the orginal monkey king, but only an avatar.

I found the bit where Odin stated that he's been alive since the "primordial times" quite interesting. He's old as f*ck.

Yeah. I wonder when Bor was around then.

Journey Into Mystery 627 - this was very interesting issue, even though Fear Itself arc is bad, the tie in aren't, this issue even talked in more details of the gods of Earth, Devils (cytorack, sutur etc...) and even LT.

Best so far for me.

Was it in the same context as this situation, where there 2 gods using the same avatar?

BTW nearly forgotten about this event... its not memorable as the Skrull invasion or Civil War : /

I agree, Journey has been awesome. Mephisto still left alot open for interpretation. Bartender should have given him pretzels though

Edit:

Why doesn't Odin blow up Earth again? The latest FI issue seemed to suggest he can't and, as much as the current portrayal of him isn't really as impressive, I'd still think him as capable of that.

This was by far the best Fear Itself issue yet imo.

^ I thought the same. Funny that a 7 issue series doesn't start getting 'good' until the 6th issue.

Yea. Fraction obviously has the capabilities to write good stories -Casanova, Iron Man- and this proves he can write good Asgardian related stories. It suggests that he's been phoning it in until now with Thor which pisses me off more then when I thought he just sucked on Thor.

I just finished reading it, and I enjoyed it a lot. I'd like to see more stuff like this.

The Fear Itself main mini reads much more like an Avengers books than what NA and Avengers has been putting out as of late.

Cap sonned Odin. 😂

Yeah that was weird. Was that always the plan? To just scorch the earth? Wasn't their more to it than that?

I thought that was always the plan...scorched earth policy to rob the serpent of his power base (humans being dominated by fear).

I immensely enjoyed JIM 627. Kieron Gillen knows how to write mystical/mythical figures that's sorely lacking in fraction.

I also really liked the view of all the lords of the splinter realms/devil pretenders jockeying for position in front of the vacant throne of the "true" Satan.

CBR just released this image. Stark comes back from the forges with asgardian weapons/costumes for the avengers.

So add "Worthy-Destroyer" Armor to stark's inventory

And Cap gets a shotgun. Fair trade.
