  Of the two issues (so far), the story gyrations here may not be easy to follow, but they're actually easier to accept than those in issue #7.1 (of that makes sense). I'm looking forward to seeing where Thor goes from here. Read Full Review

  What makes "Fear Itself" #7.2 feel so empty and lacking in story is that its sole function is to introduce plot points that, should you pick up "The Mighty Thor" #8 or "Journey into Mystery" #631, will no doubt be recapped. The manner in which they're introduced here are not more interesting or entertaining than reading a two-sentence recap of what happened. That's the biggest failure of this comic: it's nothing more than 20 pages of epilogue that's really a two-sentence prologue for another story. "Stories end. Stories begin." None are actually told here. Read Full Review
