[Super Hero News] FEAR ITSELF Goes Back To Press For Third Time

 

FEAR ITSELF Goes Back To Press For Third Time

Marvel is pleased to announce that the first two chart topping issues of
Fear Itself, the blockbuster event of 2011, have sold out of their first
AND second printings! The two books return with Fear Itself #1 Third
Printing Variant & Fear Itself #2 Third Printing Variant - featuring
sketch covers from superstar artist Steve McNiven. The entire Marvel
Universe must band together to stop the chaotic rampage of the God of
Fear as he joins forces with the new Red Skull to destroy it! But when
seven deadly champions of Fear arise, can the combined might of Earth's
Mightiest end their quest for chaos?

"We couldn't be happier with the response from fans and retailers alike
for Fear Itself," said David Gabriel, Marvel SVP of Sales. "Retailers
really got behind us for this event, and we want to thank them for doing
an exceptional job and their continued faith in each issue - but we're
not done yet!"

Retailers agree-Fear Itself is the must-read event of 2011!

"Fear Itself has caused quite a commotion at Midtown Comics, and I mean
that in the most positive of ways. Customers are buying the books, they
are excited, and intent on following this through to the end. Fear
Itself is hot." - Gerry Gladston, Midtown Comics

"Marvel Comics and all the people involved with this big summer
blockbuster event have created a vast canvas for all these incredible
characters to run wild on with Fear Itself. The best thing they ever did
was not make all the tie-ins mandatory reads. But as good as everything
has been most everything Fear Itself have become Must Reads." - Mike
Malve, Atomic Comics

"Fear Itself has been the most successful Marvel event we've seen since
Civil War. Customers in both of our stores are pumped every week about
the tie-ins just as much as they are the main series." - Steve Anderson,
Third Eye Comics

Who will be chosen as the Worthy, and what destruction will they reap in
Fear's name? As the entire Marvel Universe is engulfed in panic and
hysteria, can the Avengers look to Asgard for help or are they on their
own? Discover the answers to these questions and more in Fear Itself #1
Third Printing Variant & Fear Itself #2 Third Printing Variant!
