FEAR ITSELF Attacks The UNCANNY X-MEN
This July, the fragile peace between human and mutantkind gets rocked to
its core as the comic blockbuster of the summer, Fear Itself, brings the
fight to the shores of Utopia in Uncanny X-Men #540 & 541! From
critically acclaimed writer Kieron Gillen and superstar artist Greg
Land, The Serpent has chosen one of the heaviest hitters of the Marvel
Universe as one of his Worthy and he's ready to settle some unfinished
business.
"After the tight, claustrophobic Breaking Point, I wanted something that
embraced the epic scale inherent in the modern/mythological world war of
Fear Itself. It's a disaster movie where the natural threat is the
supernatural powerhouse," explains writer Kieron Gillen. "The whole
story's built like a bomb, with each step of the Serpent's Worthy is
like another tick on the clock. "What can stop the Worthy?" is the
question, and as the answer starts to become apparent, that's when the
terror starts to bite. A city, waiting to be hit, with nothing they can
do to stop it."
But what all too personal connection has driven this relentless force of
nature to wipe Utopia off the map? Can nearby San Francisco weather the
seismic ramifications of the Worthy's rampage and have their worst fears
of a mutant attack finally been realized? Nothing can stop Fear Itself
when the comics event of 2011 collides head-on with Uncanny X-Men #540 &
#541, double-shipping this July!
