Fear Itself comes to an end (as far as I'm concerned), and the "writing by flow-chart" is still painfully evident.
Moments that were deemed cool in a meeting some time ago are played out in the most tone-deaf way imaginable.
Cap blasts away, holding the line, somehow blowing up giant robots by shooting them with shotguns borrowed from the locals.
The Worthy stand around not ripping Captain Stereotyped Rural America in half just long enough for the cavalry to arrive.
Even Immonen seems to be parodying Cap's frankly dumb persona by creating hysterical, gurning expressions throughout.
No character has a voice that rings true, The Serpent never has a personality. We are told what his motivations are but he is not fleshed out in any meaningful way.
What we have is a fight between characters we know, but can't recognize and characters we don't know and never will. How can I be expected to care?
Thor dies, not from a fatal blow but just because he's supposed to, he seems to mainly kick the snot out of Odin's brother then fall over.
The Mighty are created and batter The Worthy, making Odin's actions even more nonsensical throughout the event. And to end it, Odin, who was willing to sacrifice Midgard to save his son, leaves Thor's funeral before it happens so he can have a proper sulk over his fallen brother.
Things happen to put things in place for other things to happen without any reason beyond future mini-series.
Personally I think this is the worst kind of story-telling: one without character.
Turgid, hollow dross.

Great review. Significantly better review than I could have written after being dumbed down by this series.
Thank you. I feel like a masochist buying this, like I’ve punched myself in my left eye to match the bruise on the right and complete the set.
this was probably one of the worst “mega-events” i have ever read
I can’t think of a worse one myself. There have been some utter messes but usually it was due to pacing or it spiralling out of control, not that there just wasn’t anything in it worthwhile. There wasn’t a story beyond bullet points.
Immonen saves any redeeming quality for this series, that’s for sure. I think all of the heart in this event was in Home Front, and all of the character was in Journey Into Mystery with young Loki. This is my farewell to Marvel as I am uninterested in the direction of the universe, the creative teams involved, and the price point for their books. I’ll be back, but not any time soon.
ditto
On man it was horrible.
