Fear Itself Reading Order

[jackolover]

just wondering is this 1 finished or you still working on it:

and/or if you started another timeline tell me the name of the thread

Sorry I took so long to look at this.

This is the only thread and I am not working on it any more. What I can say is that I withdrew all the Avengers and New Avengers books and put them at the end, because they were obviously recollections after the event, because of the talking heads.

I broke off Shattered Heroes into another thread http://forums.comicbookresources.com...oes&highlight=

[Argonauts]

I have a comic to add to your list a friend of mine has. Its a good background story he got it because he read the plot and the plot ends with the words Fear Itself
and thought it was part of the event but its not. I will get it later

Hey, I have posted a few reading orders before and thought I would have a go at fear itself. I'm really OCD about ordering these things, so if anyone spots an error, give me the heads up.

A spoiler free list follows, then one with spoilers that gives reasons for why I have put things where I have.

-Says ‘To be continued in Fear Itself #1’

Fear Itself #1
-A riot takes place
-Odin takes the Asgardians and leaves Earth
-The Serpent summons the hammers so that the Worthy can begin the fear
-The hammers are seen in the sky

Fear Itself – The Home Front #1
-Miriam goes on the Internet and screen shots refer to the Asgardians leaving and the riot happening ‘yesterday.’ The story starts a day before that scene, so it must start around the time of the riot.

Journey Into Mystery #622
- Odin gathers the Asgardians and prepares to leave Earth

Fear Itself #2
-Odin and the Asgardians arrive in Asgard-space
-Juggernaut receives his hammer and destroys the Raft

Herc #3
-Starts by showing the blast created by the Juggernaut at the raft and inmates escaping

Invincible Iron Man #504
- All the Hammers are shown falling. However, I put this issue after the Juggernaut getting his hammer and destroying the raft because in this issue Grey Gargoyle is first seen watching a Hammer fall in Paris. Thus this order matches the event continuity given by the main book.
-Grey Gargoyle has become Mokk – Breaker of Faith

Thunderbolts #159
-The Thunderbolts deal with the immediate aftermath of the blast

Fear Itself – Youth in Revolt #1
-Prodigy gets a message from Steve Rogers
-Steve tells Prodigy that the hammers dropped around the ‘world moments ago’
-Steve also tells him that he may have seen news footage of the Raft being destroyed and that he has already mobilised the Avengers
-Heroes meet in Washington; Sin’s attack has not taken place yet.

Fear Itself – Spider-Man #1
- Starts at hour six of the fear with Spider-Man in New York
-At hour fourteen, Ben Ulrich mentions that reports are coming in that the Avengers have been mobilised, but no one knows what against (Spider-Man was one of the Avengers present at Steve Rogers’ meeting, he must have been mobilised to New York).

Fear Itself – The Home Front #2
-Raft escapees turn up in Stamford

Secret Avengers #13
-The Secret Avengers arrive in Washington, Sin’s attack has begun
-The Whitehouse is severely damaged

Iron Man 2.0 #5-7
-Shows a hammer dropping (but due to the next point, goes well here)
-War Machine is shown next to damaged Whitehouse
-War Machine is fighting alongside the Secret Avengers; he says he arrived with them 20 minutes ago
-Creel gets his hammer, transforms into one of the worthy and leaves China

Fear Itself – The Monkey King #1
-Carries on the story of the Monkey King that began in Iron Man 2.0 #5-7

Fear Itself – The Deep #1

-Odin sends Thor to Earth
-Captain America is seemingly killed

Fear Itself – Spider-Man #2
-Begins at hour 25 of the Fear
-End page (hour 38 of the fear) shows Thing picking up his Hammer
-It overlaps the next titles; the end page meets the start of Black Panther #521

Avengers Academy #15
-The Academy deploy to Washington to help evacuate people from Sin’s attack
-Hank Pym deploys to Dubai, encounters the Absorbing Man (who has a Hammer)

Fear Itself – The Home Front #3
-Speedball is shown TV footage showing the Academy in Washington and Hank Pym in Dubai fighting the Absorbing Man
-Speedball fights Juggernaut in Salem Missouri, manages to divert Juggernaut out of the town

Avengers Academy #16
-Hank Pym manages to transport the Absorbing Man and Titania out of Dubai

Black Panther – The Man Without Fear #521-523
-The first issue shows the Hammer falling on Yancy Street
-Fairly continuous, no reason to separate issues

Heroes for Hire #9
-The Thing is shown trashing Yancy Street, fights Paladin and leaves (he isn’t shown leaving in this issue but the next issue has Paladin say that he did after his assault in this issue)

Fear Itself – FF #1
-The Thing has picked up his Hammer and has already trashed Yancy Street (the sign is shown nearby)
-The FF intervene, this seems early on in Thing’s transformation

Fear Itself – Spider-Man #3
-Thing attacks Spider-Man at a hospital

Journey into Mystery #624
-Loki is confronted by Odin after Odin sends Thor to Earth

Fear Itself – Wolverine #1-2
-Wolveine is shown in NY fighting the Scarecrow (Sin’s Blitzkreig troops are not there, they have not arrived yet.
-Melita is shown finding information in Avengers Tower

Ghost Rider #1-2
-Sin shown in Dayton, Ohio (must be where she headed after the initial attack on Washington)
-The Serpent is shown, is still an old man in appearance

Secret Avengers #14
-Sin has just gone through Philadelphia and is heading north towards New York

Avengers #13
-Issue is all over the place in terms of events, but the info page says that Sin continues to march north to New York so this issue fits here
Avengers #14
-Sin attacks New York
-The Thing fights Red Hulk, Avengers Tower is brought down and Red Hulk is defeated

Hulk #37-38
-Alternate viewpoint to the events of Avengers #14, shows a little more background to the events of that issue

Alpha Flight #1
-Nekkrod attacks Vancouver, Alpha flight teleport him to Newfoundland

Avengers #15
-Some Avengers fight Hulk in Brazil

Herc #4
-Nekkrod shown attacking Vancouver
-Avengers shown fighting the Hulk in Brazil

-Avengers Tower falls
-The events of this story overlap/clash with the next issue, but it makes sense to put this before the Avengers issue as Wolverine talks about going to see the Avengers at the end of this issue

-Avengers Tower falls

New Avengers #15-16
-Avengers Tower is shown falling in New Avengers #16

Thunderbolts #160

Fear Itself – Fearsome Four #1-4
-Man Thing in Manhattan

Thunderbolts #161-162
-Juggernaut leaves Illinois
-Man Thing re appears, Moonstone wonders where he went...

Fear Itself – Deadpool #1-3
-First issue features the Juggernaut busting through some walls
-The plumbers talk about a job in New Mexico, which suggests that New Mexico is close to Deadpool’s current location and it fits Juggernaut’s overall direction across the country (If you follow the appearances I have ordered, the Juggernaut has been moving mostly westwards from New York towards the West Coast).
Fear Itself – Youth in Revolt #2-3
-Issue #2 has the Team receiving the news that the Juggernaut has been heading westward from the east coast. They are told that he has just made a course correction and is heading for Nevada (‘course correction’ presumably refers to Juggernaut correcting his small eastward journey from Missouri to Illinois by heading west to the New Mexico area).
-Juggernaut attacks and then leaves.

Ghost Rider #3
-Hawkeye and co shown in Columbia

Fear Itself – The Home Front #4
-Attuma attacks St John’s, Newfoundland and then leaves.

Fear Itself – The Deep #2-3
- Technically a tie in to Fear Itself #4, however due to the events of Uncanny X-Men #540, it goes here
-Namor’s team comes together and he talks about facing Attuma

Uncanny X-Men #540
-Technically a tie in to Fear Itself #4, however, it features the Juggernaut journeying to San Francisco and he has yet to fight the X-Men, so it takes place chronologically prior to that issue
-The Juggernaut arrives in San Francisco
-Namor tells Emma he has gathered his allies (meaning that this is after Fear Itself – The Deep #2-3) and that ’they will fight and die’

Fear Itself #4
-The Juggernaut attacks the X-Men at San Francisco
-Sin is near Manhattan
-Cap, Black Widow and others are shown reacting to Bucky’s death in a transport that holds his body
-Attuma attacks Salmon Arm, British Columbia
-The Serpent raises his palace and becomes young again
-Steve and the Avengers fight Sin in New York
-Thor encounters Thing and Hulk, begins to fight

Fear Itself – Uncanny X-Force #1-3
