If you're a comic book reader who has been suffering from event fatigue, don't expect it to slow down anytime soon, especially if you're a Marvel fan. The House of Ideas has recently announced its 2012 mega event, 'Avengers vs. X-Men'. Unlike 'Fear Itself', details about AVX have been spreading constantly online. What we know is that it will focus on the return of the Phoenix force, and how that causes both teams to clash. The event officially kicked off last week with the return of Cable in 'Avengers: X-Sanction' (Jeph Loeb), and will begin to unravel in 2012. With the potential for an event the scale of Civil War, it's time Marvel delivered in bringing us a comic book event that can match the hype.

So the reviews for Fear Itself #7 are in. (Warning: Spoilers) It's been a long while since Fear Itself #1 hit stands. The first two issues were criticised for the slow build up, and the remaining chapters were lacking in emotion and substance. For the series to be redeemed, Fear Itself #7 would need to go out with a huge bang. The reviews are now in, and does the final chapter to Matt Fraction's mega event deliver a truly spectacular conclusion?
