  Comics: The Gathering - lucstclair Jan 7, 2012

  The characters who are transformed into The Worthy are truly badass, especially Juggernaut. Readers of DC comics will notice some similarities between this story and The Sinestro Corps War from the pages of Green Lantern. Both stories have magical weapons that chose new hosts, the chosen ones are displayed with bright lights and the villains use fear as a weapon. Whether you agree or disagree with that statement is entirely up to you to decide. Regardless, I had a blast reading this book, even with its predictable ending. The prelude tale Book Of The Skulldoes Its job to kick start the story. The real meat & potatoes is what follows and Its pure Marvel magic! Written by Ed Brubaker (Criminal) and Matt Fraction (Defenders) and illustrated by Scot Eaton (Battle Scars) and Stuart Immonen (New Avengers). Immonens work is stunning. Originally published as Fear Itself : Book Of The Skull #1 and Fear Itself #1-#7. From Marvel Comics. Read Full Review
