Just in time for Comic-Con, Marvel brings on the Fear this July! Fear Itself and its 27 crossovers and supporting mini-series (this includes the main book and two shippings for Uncanny X-Men). I thought June was big with 18 titles! If you’ve been paying attention to all things Fear Itself, you’ll know that something big happens in issue #3. I’m guessing this may be part of the cause for the jump in books. This is purely speculation of course.
Marvel is keeping Cullen Bunn (Sixth Gun) busy with Fear Itself tie-ins—he’s going to write the Fear-Itself: FF #1; he’s also writing the Fear Itself: The Deep mini and the Fear Itself: Black Widow one-shot. Rob Williams kicks off his new Ghost Rider series with Matthew Clark and tackles Uncanny X-Force in their own three-part mini. For those who want a paper copy of Fear Itself: The Worthy, the physical book will be on sale after the series is offered for free on the Marvel Comics app, Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, and Marvel Comics on Chrome—The Worthy goes online in weekly segments beginning on April 27th.
