VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by MATT FRACTION Pencils by STUART IMMONEN 1:26 Variant Cover by STUART IMMONEN Tony Stark returns from the depths with a last-chance arsenal that will transform the Avengers from Earth's Mightiest Heroes...into Earth's Last Hope! It's THOR'S DAY-- the day that everything ends! • Double sized Finale with a little something extra for keen eye 56 PGS. Date Available: 10/19/2011 BONUS REVIEW by RICK BERG  The only thing we have to fear is more issues? I wish I could turn my retailer brain off and then I would love this issue. If so I would tell you tales of how I loved Stuart Immonen’s artwork and the badass things he depicted. I can’t think of 52 things last month that even came close to some of the stuff we see Captain America and Thor do. One of the most important things though, occurs almost off panel. I barely noticed it until the next page told me it had happened, what a missed opportunity. I could talk about how I loved Fraction’s subtle hints about the human spirit finally raising in the middle of this most frightful battle between gods and monsters. Yet my brain still keeps on groaning for some reason. If it was not, I could regal you with how things in this issue brought me back to my youth reading Simonson’s Thor, and Mike Zeck’s Captain America. My main disappointment deals with the majorly annoying addition of 10 endings that seem mostly tossed on. Especially maddening is that we are basically told that I need to read 3 more books to get the full ending of this tale. At 60 pages long and with the last 20 or so all being little promos for upcoming books, 2 of which directly seem to conflict with each other’s storylines, I lost most of my enjoyment the first 40 created. Sure I get that Marvel wants me to keep reading their books but how many spinoffs do they expect me to read because they only slightly tie in with Fear Itself. I totally want 20 more pages of Immonen’s epic battle between Thor and the Serpent then reading about a supposed major new character that was not even in the previous 7 issues. Much like most event books I got what amounted to a 90s pinup book, tons of cool ideas for striking visuals (Cap armed with shotguns) barely tied together by a jump the shark plot (Thor has a mysterious never before heard of uncle) that needs to fill up a trade paperback worth of pages. 6 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
