PREVIEW: FEAR ITSELF: Avengers #13

Marvel has given us a very, very purdy first look at Avengers #13, some panels from Chris Bachalo.   Bachalo has previously worked with writer Brian Michael Bendis on some of my very favorite comics of the past few years, specifically Dark Avengers and Siege.  So, yeah, this is gonna be great.

So what else is Marvel teasing us with? From their release:

With the entire Marvel Universe gripped in fear and on the brink of outrage, Captain America, Thor and Iron Man struggle to keep the peace. In an effort by Tony Stark, the rebuilding of Asgard begins, but will they be stopped  even before they begin?  It’s the calm before the storm as the threat of the Red Skull and the other hammer wielding Worthy looms over the Marvel Universe. When the time comes, which of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will rally their teammates to battle – and which will succumb to the Serpent’s influence? Find out this May, only in Avengers #13!

This goes on sale 5/18 and you’ll be picking it up. Right? Right.

Oh, and there’s a really hot looking X-men variant. What can I say? I have a thing for mutant girls. Especially ones with red hair and telekinetic powers.
