fear itself Archives

Demon In A Bottle, the moment when Iron Man, Tony Stark was brought down by his drinking to the ultimate low, and then rebuilt his life as an admitted alcoholic and teetotaller. A nine part story, published 1979 by David Michelinie, Bob Layton, John Romita, Jr, and Carmine Infantino, saw Iron Man not only fighting[...]

But in the rush, the jumping from scene to scene and the weirdness of The Flash making lightning strike twice, and Goth Superman, it kind of works. With Fear Itself, we don't need quite so much pesky motivation This is a very welcoming comic book for those who have just seen the movies and to that[...]

From the new issue of Fear Itself, a look forward to next month's issue And the battle royale it will bring… is this the ultimate in the "who would win in a battle between…" stakes? And while we're at it, how about we name all The Worthy so far, as I don't think their names and[...]

They are all over Flashpoint #3 and the spinoffs before moving onto Fear Itself #4 and those spinoffs with Captain America putting on the costume Big week. And then Moon Knight Bendis dialogue and the new Locke & Key collection, over which they drool uncontrollably Don;t blame them, it's a good book Take it away guys! Top[...]

We love a little mindless speculation here at Bleeding Cool Towers, looking at the comic in front of us, their plans, the current social climate and speculating ahead based on all that. It's that kind of thinking that has Bleeding Cool expecting a black man under the Spider-Man suit when Ultimate Comics Spider-Man relaunches in September. So[...]

Fear Itself #4, by Matt Fraction and Stuart Immonen, out later this month. Note how the fall of Thor to Earth rather mirrors that in the recent movie… Here's a worldess preview to the next issue of the maga-event crossover from Marvel Fear Itself #4, by Matt Fraction and Stuart Immonen, out later this month. Note how[...]

When Bleeding Cool first ran the image, this member of The Worthy was labelled Juggernaut. And it sure looked it. But it was otherwise teased as Colossus

Is there anything happening in the wonderful world of comics besides #dcreboot? Of course there is — Fear Itself, Captain America, X-Men First Class still looming, and of course most importantly of all, it was Comic Day Even so, DC owned the news cycle for the second straight day, something BC trendwatchers will[...]

A run through today's comics – and the impact of the DC relaunch from a radical retailer A Comic Shop in Florida's perspective. FLASHPOINT #2 BATDAD, Thomas Wayne the Batman of Flashpoint, gives depowered Barry Allen the shocker. FEAR ITSELF #3 MATT FRACTION! BUCKY fears the outcome[...]

Both Marvel and DC bring out the heavy guns DC gives you Flashpoint #2, along with four spinoffs, Abin Sur The Green Lantern, Batman Knight Of Vengeance, Secret Seven and World Of Flashpoint. While Marvel has Fear Itself #3, the issue upon which everything twists apparently, along with spinoffs Fear Itself: Deep (Defenders) #1, Invincible Iron[...]

Last week I pointed out how Kieron Gillen in Journey Into Mystery was able to summarise the entire issue of Fear Itself, poetically, into a couple of pages. This week, Brian Bendis takes the whole issue of Avengers to cover whan happened in about half of Fear Itself #2 and one page of Journey Into Mystery. Seriously,[...]

Another trip to Aaron and Tri-Force Mike at A Comic Shop, fresh after Free Comic Book Day and well into Free Comic Book May. So what comics will you be

They start with a word to Mark Millar, then follow up looking at  Fear Itself #2, Moon Knight, Deadpool and Spider-Man Annuals, X-Men: Prelude To Schism, Uncanny X-Force, Delirium, the L'il Endless Storybook in hardcover And actually, boys it was "Suggested For Mature Readers Of Any Age" originally I think Oh and they've got Nick[...]

I was reading Fear Itself Book One and there was a speech bubble I didn't understand It said something about this guy's father having to defend the prize fortress null was built around Is the fortress called Fortress Null? I don't know! Is Null a place that is built around the fortress? I don't know![...]

Asking them how they've been ordering the first issues of both Marvel and DC's big summer crossover titles, Fear Itself and Flashpoint. It's not pretending to be a comprehensive study It's probably not that representative But the gap in figures looks beyond any reasonable error of margin. Fear Itself is ahead of Flashpoint by a significant degree. Indeed,[...]

The comic side was dominated by some Marvel Fear Itself spoilers today, but the TV/Film side had some interesting diversity capturing your attention: Jon Favreau retweeted our story quoting Peter Jackson on The Hobbit filming, prepping for World War Z, and Wonder Woman's shorts I'm running a little behind at BC USA today, so let's get[...]

Marvel asked Who Are The Worthy? Well, since you put it nicely… Today Bleeding Cool has been showing a few images featuring The Worthy , characters turned into subjects of Skadi and the Fear God in Marvel's Fear Itself series that are rather good at revealing who is who and what[...]

A few people reading the first issue of Fear Itself found them suffering a little deja vu when seeing the sea dragon demony serpent things that Sin summoned, in her new godly identity of Skadi. That's them Are they just generic serpents? Or are the insidpred by too much late night playing of the Wii game[...]

It's been a pretty interesting Comic Day, with Fear Itself, Nonplayer, and of course the secret of Brightest Day generating some serious discussion  Meanwhile, the tv/film side of the page reveals more question marks for The Wolverine I'm ready to crack open my Atlas Era Strange Tales Vol 4 Masterwork, but before I get to[...]

One is a comic steeped in decades of Marvel continuity. The other is something very new indeed. Fear Itself is the beginning of the big Marvel crossover Take all the Marvel characters and shuffle them in a bag and see how many millions you can sell It's an overtly commercial proposition, but because of those guaranteed sales,[...]

Who is revealed as the daughter of the Red Skull, now known as Sin, and the star of the upcoming Fear Itself comic from Marvel. Currently, there is what's known as "activity" on this book People are mopping up all available copies on eBay for anything up to $4, when there hadn't been a sale of[...]

Fresh from the pages of this week's Marvel comics titles… a look at some of the bad guys from Fear Itself The Worthy, the avatars of the Serpent, of rage and destruction And they've all got hammers. So is that… Juggernaut? Skaar? Penance? And could Colossus be inside the Juggernaut suit as teased elsewhere? [...]

One is the beginning of a big comics publisher event, another is the ending of one. Fear Itself Prologue: Book Of The Skull by Ed Brubaker and Scot Eaton is basically the flashback stuff that was originally planned for Fear Itself but then bumped for its own book And so we see two timelines here,  effectively[...]

I took the mickey out the Fear Itself poster the other day But it took Brent Keane to spot a certain similarity… In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox We trust[...]

And so it begins... Look for a Bleeding Cool review early tomorrow, and for Mike and Aaron to talk about the comic later today on A Comic Show.
