5.0 out of 5 stars “Good comic book and great if your a Thor/Loki fan (so I’m told)!”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 August 2021

 

As this book was for my other half who is a huge Marvel fan, I can't comment on the contents (though he seems to be really enjoying it). He'd seen it in Waterstones, thought it looked great & said he might go back to get it but I wanted to surprise him.

3.0 out of 5 stars   “Don't be fooled by what some say...”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 July 2012

 

My angle is as a dedicated fan who follows Thor, Iron man and Deadpool.

Fear itself is...good. It is not amazing. It can be annoying, but it depends on how obsessive you are about things.

First, the art style. A lot of fighting with a lot of complex emotions which doesn't always marry well in the artwork but visually it's more than acceptable.

Second, at the current second-hand price of £10-12, this is very reasonable given the length of the story.

Third, the story itself is good. In fact it's the best thing. However, many reviewers pointed out that it links to things happening in other comics. I'm afraid they are absolutely right. In fact, if I didn't follow the Iron man comics there was a point in the story when he was with a group of them, and then he's not and trying peddle his way on his own for NO obvious explanation (except there is a reason in another comic which was out at the time). So yes there are odd occasions when the storyline jumps, and seems to accept that the reader knows what's going on elsewhere. Now, it is still possible to follow things without resorting to scouring the other comics, but it does help. I must point out it does this a very limited number of times that I was aware of (but clearly there are other links that aren't that obvious at first). I am in no way suggesting you go out and get the other comics, but as a standalone piece, this story shouldn’t have skipped bits at certain times.

Overall, I give it a 3 because the story is great, but let down by the odd gap in knowledge, which could’ve been filled. I am sort of including the Iron man arc in that too, as it did help my enjoyment. But I did put down the book at a certain point, and pick up the Iron man fear itself and then continue on after. By the way, the Iron man book contains a very serious spoiler at the end so be warned!

3.0 out of 5 stars “Not bad, but not wholly good either”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2012

 

Fear Itself is the perfect gift for a young man/comic loving boy who enjoys the action side of things, with lots of fighting between superheroes. Because that's what this graphic novel does best. There is not enough background and story building for my liking (beyond the easy to digest outline they give you at the start). That is pretty much a spring board into it and the rest of the story deep dives into an epic battle whilst neglecting the groundwork and character building which could’ve made it great.

 

I am more of a DC fan than I am a Marvel fan, and Fear Itself has done absolutely nothing to change that. It has, if anything, made me think my choice of franchise is well-placed.

 

I gave it three stars due to the fact that it's something you can just pick up and enjoy, without having to delve in too deeply to either understand or revel in the fight scenes. It is not bad, like some personal reviews would have you believe, it's just not something that a hardcore comic fan would ever get overly excited about. Much like most Hollywood action blockbusters, it’s a one-and-done.  A fun experience, but I certainly don’t plan on re-reading it.

 

 

2.0 out of 5 stars   “Diverting, but nothing out of the ordinary...”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2019

 

I’m repeating much of what many other reviewers have already said about this Marvel crossover, but I really didn’t enjoy this main event as much as I should’ve done.  The concept of the tie-ins was nice, but they didn’t live up to their promise either (which I’ll come back to shortly).

 

I have a collection of around 100+ of the Marvel Avengers/Wolverine/Thor/Iron Man/Cpt. America titles by now, but while reading this exhausting (due to the focus on fighting) and scatter-shot entry I actually wondered if my passion for comics was on the wane!?

 

When I heard that you *need* to pick-up the Journey into Mystery and Invincible Iron Man tie-ins to get the most out of Fear Itself, I was really excited... (but perhaps my expectations were too high).

 

When I discovered that Old Man Logan was involved in the Civil War II crossover (All New All Different Wolverine Vol. II), I was absolutely LOVING reading that - but here, oh lord, where to even start??

 

I don’t know what the writers were thinking when they wrote this story arc tbh??!  The chronological order of the tie-ins is ridiculously over-complicated here, meaning that, yes, this TPB doesn’t actually make complete sense without at least reading JITM & IIM at the same time, but those tie-ins don’t make any sense within their own contextual bounds either.  Meaning that none is a satisfying stand-alone story, as you need to combine them otherwise you end up with more questions than answers.

 

The Fear Itself book would offer value for money if you didn’t need to the aforementioned crossover books too, but this needlessly overcomplicates things.   Now I’m on Original Sin and War Of The Realms, and I’m a comic-book fan again! Praise the all-father Odin!

3.0 out of 5 stars “An above average product”

Reviewed in Italy on 20 August 2013

 

The whole "Fear" + "Hammers possessing heroes and villains" thing reminds me too much of Geoff John's "Sinestro Corps War" and "Blackest Night", but Matt Fraction delivers nonetheless a pleasant read, illustrated by some fine art.

The main characters are well portrayed: Odin, Steve Rogers, Thor, Sin, Iron Man. Others just appear in order to push you to read the tie-ins (of course).

However, the whole story itself may feel a little shallow, if you don't get the tie-in as well (but the Hulk/Dracula one was something of a let-down).
