  On the other side of the creative team, I just can't say enough good things about Mike Norton's art. Everything thing about this miniseries felt big and worthy to be a part of Marvel's big Fear Itself story.

I've made this reference before in the latest review of Fear Itself, but it bears repeating… The main series seems like Marvel's first real stab and giving a major story with serious consequences to their fans that feels on the level of DC's classic Crisis on Infinite Earths. Norton's art has that same appeal as those big stories of the past and I, for one, appreciate it! Read Full Review
