    This book has had the strongest Fear Itself tie-ins that I’ve read.  Nicely done.

    I’m not buying Fear Itself, but I am enjoying this tie-in tremendously.

    Chen is ok.  I actually started to prefer Raney.

    @zattaric  Either way, the stories have been tremendous.  Very excited for this issue.

    the last issue was a heartbreaker. I’m hoping to see how Veil deals with it here.

    After seeing the new lineup, I can’t wait to see how it all happens.

    Thank you Fear Itself, without you I never would have read this series. I will continue reading this after the event.

    Avengers Accademy is one of the top 5 books in all of comics.  Christos Gage is a genius. He should have written all of Fear Itself.

    POTW!!  I loved this book.

    @dkbrain agreed

    I’m not following fear itself, but this tie-in is amazing. This is the only marvel book I’m picking up at the moment before spider island.

    I’m still new(er) to comics so don’t take my critique too seriously, but the “colored pencil” type coloring in this and ASM bother me. Pencil work is great but the inking is dull to me.

    Other titles feel more robust to my eye, but I’m still loving the story on this one. Started reading this at issue 10 if I remember correctly.

    @xiseerht  Gage is very underrated.  He’s at Hickman, Jason Aaron level.

    Why couldn’t Christos Gage been the one writing Fear Itself. I mean I read Avengers Academy and the event is much more exciting than it actually is.

    @dkbrain  Agreed. He should be writing Avengers, not Bendis.
