Beer Itself, the crossover drinking game

[Cryptid]

(possible spoilers, by the way)

Ladies and Gents, now that we have witnessed the inglorious death of Bucky in the pages of Marvel's latest publishing event, I suspect that it is high time to incorporate the pouring of salutary libations into the future reading of this series. I propose the following guidelines for a reinforced reading of Fear Itself. It's hammertime:

1. Whenever a panel involves a radial composition, whether due to an explosion, crater, splaying of limbs, or the lines of majesty emitted by an attack or device. (Risk factor: high).

2. Whenever something happens that only makes sense in reference to a title other than Fear Itself. (Risk factor: medium).

3. Whenever a reference to the Sad State of Things is immediately followed by whimsical fantasy shenanigans. (Risk factor: medium to high).

4. Whenever Immonen's shadows deepen to show brooding emotion instead of physical darkness. (Risk factor: medium).

5.Double page spread! (Risk factor: high).

6. Double page spread! (see what I did there).

7. Whenever nothing will ever be the same again. (Risk factor: low).

Naturally, I expect you all to have much funnier rules up your sleeves. Do it for Bucky.

I'm never going to finish an issue with these rules.

There are drinking games where you finish?

[Rheged]

LOL! This is fantastic! Makes me wish I drank beer.

[NYAvenger15]

We shold all get together some time and read all the issues together, and play this game. I bet I won't last past issue 2.

[Iron Maiden]

I would like to add another....

Anytime Odin says anything completely idiotic

I.E. "You can't say your father never gave you anything".... I mean is this Odin or Frank Reynolds? Come to think of it, it would be more interesting if Frank was in this book somehow.

[Superbeast]

new rule: anytime an incident is mentioned occuring somewhere, drink.

The last two ages of issue 1 will have your liver failing.

THIS. I literally gagged at that line. Oh, how the mighty are fallen.

Yeah. An old college standby for me was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_(card_game). Everyone's sloshed by the end, but it does definitely end.

[SuperCooper]

Perhaps...

Stuart Immonen pouty face, take a chug.

[A.R.C.]

Man I was planning on reading Fear Itself when it's collected... May have to pace myself with the reading!

[Shinobi]

I don't drink but:

Whenever there's fanservice of any of the female characters.
