scans_dailyMarvel made an announcement today about a new miniseries featuring former members of the cast of Avengers: the Initiative.
Fear Itself has a stranglehold on the Marvel Universe and this May, Eisner Award-winning writer Sean McKeever and fan favorite artist Mike Norton, take the next generation of Marvel heroes’ fight for freedom outside the chain of command in Fear Itself: Youth In Revolt #1 (of 6)! In the wake of the Civil War, the Initiative would have been there to marshal the heroes of tomorrow against any force of evil, no matter how great. But for the heroes-in-training who managed to survive Norman Osborn’s corrupt regime, there’s only one honorable response to yet another call for mandatory service – run!
“With YOUTH IN REVOLT, we’re taking a look at how a palpable sense of fear and despair can affect the younger generation of heroes,” said McKeever to Marvel.com. “In the first issue, they’re deputized by the federal government in anticipation of terrible things to come, but what then? When they’re rushed into action without any strategy, who suffers? When things get out of hand, who will step up and who will crumble? And how well can they stand up to their own fears?”
Unregistered and untested, the former Initiative trainees will learn fast that even super-heroes have to cope with the horrors of war and the cost may be higher than they ever imagined! Can this team of youngsters push back the forces of Fear Itself and make it out on one piece? Find out in Fear Itself: Youth In Revolt #1 (of 6)!
FEAR ITSELF: YOUTH IN REVOLT #1 (of 6)
Written by SEAN McKEEVER
Pencils by MIKE NORTON
Cover by GUISEPPE CAMUNCOLI
Rated T+ ... $2.99
ON SALE THIS MAY!
McKeever recently used Gravity and Firestar in his now canceled Young Allies series and is currently using them in the Onslaught Unleashed miniseries.
It's good to see Thor Girl back in her original and less boobtastic outfit. And seeing these former Initiative characters get their own miniseries is pretty cool. There is at least one glaring omission from this group, Trauma. But seeing as this event is called "Fear Itself" I can't help but wonder if he'll show up elsewhere.
But still, ugh, another event.
