Fear Itself begins!

Best of last week

My favorite book last week was the first issue in the Fear Itself crossover/event, Fear Itself: Book of the Skull.
This issue follows two story lines, one past and one present. In the past we have a WWII story with Captain America, Bucky and Namor fighting Nazis and the Red Skull top his latest plot, while in the present we have Red Skull's daughter Sin with the aid of Baron Zemo breaking into an old Red Skull hideout, with all it's defenses intact. Both of these stories were pretty fun reads.
My favorite of the two has got to be the WWII story, but that's mostly because I love stories that have Nazi's as bad guys. I guess it goes back to my love for the Indiana Jones movies but is there a better bad guy than Nazis? well Zombies I guess. Nazi Zombies? Best Villain ever. Overall this book was enjoyable from the art by Scot Eaton to Brubaker's story but how can you go wrong with WWII, Red Skull, Nazis, Frost Giants, and Invaders versions of Bucky, Namor and Cap? there is so much to enjoy here I highly recommend picking it up.
