Fear Itself #7.1

fear-itself-7-1-coverIt’s no big secret that I wasn’t a big fan of Fear Itself (or as I like to call it Marvel Comics Hammertime). Nor do I usually give even a first glance to Marvel’s slate of .1 issues which seems like a really odd attempt to explain storylines that writers aren’t doing well in the monthly titles. So the fact that I even glanced at this issue, let alone bought it, might at first appear odd.

The issue (finally!) wraps up with the death of Bucky Barnes from Fear Itself #3 with Steve Rogers preparing the eulogy for Bucky-Cap’s funeral. It also includes a scene where Rogers beats the ever-living-crap out of Nick Fury. And a second where he threatens to give the spy a second beatdown. Why you ask? Spoilers follow!

Bucky isn’t dead. Yeah, you read that right. Fury used the last of the Infinity Formula to save his life (making him yet another Super Soldier… how many does Marvel Comics have now?) and covered up the incident to make it appear the wanted fugitive had died fighting Sin and her magic hammer. Needless to say Cap ain’t too happy about being lied to.

Uncanny X-Men #1

uncanny-x-men-v2-1-cover"With Wolverine and many of the younger mutants leaving Utopia to return to the ruins of Professor X’s school, Cyclops begins to rebuild by putting together a team he believes is a match for the Avengers and should be able to take on any threat they come across, whether that’s to save humanity or save mutants from humanity.

The Extermination Team includes Magneto, the Juggernaut-cursed Colossus, Storm, Emma Frost, Danger, Magik, Namor, and Hope Summers. The team is put together to not only save the world but to show humanity how powerful and useful mutants can be towards the greater good (and that you really, really don’t want to piss them off).

The team’s first mission comes when Mister Sinister starts tampering with the dormant Celestial in Golden Gate Park. Although the team stops the initial chaos caused by Sinister, the villain is able take control a vast number of citizens in San Francisco and remake them in his image.
