Ok, so the Fear Itself crossover has ended already, although I have not picked up a single book from that mini-series and have no clue how it ended. Does it really matter? Exactly. No one cares. I’m not sure what’s going on here either. I understand this fragment of a story is related to the main Fear Itself comic book and that reading this story on its own does not make sense. And that’s why crossovers are bad and that Marvel Comics makes too many of them. It’s the first Marvel Comics crossover that I have not read at all in years and I don’t regret it.
I’m not sure what will be salvaged from the crossover next issue, now that there is no Avengers’ Tower. It almost feels like Brian Bendis is compelled to put all the toys back in their box by destroying one mainstay of his Avengers’ run – the Tower. One thing I can say is that John Romita draws too many comic books per month and the lack of cohesiveness in his work is really harming the Avengers. He is still committed to Kick-Ass. Perhaps he should let another artist have go at the Avengers. His work does not bring anything to the table anymore and is actually a detriment. It used to be that his work on a series was a special thing. Now, it’s just a pale imitation of a master who works too much and sends in pages of scribbles instead of properly designed comic book pages.
