I haven't been all that interested with Marvel's product line as a whole as of late, as I've found too much of its output represents one long, drawn-out storyline with no end in sight. The first couple of issues of Fear Itself was what ultimately did it for me; there was no hint of plot. And since then, Marvel's made it clear it's creating product, not stories. With multiple spinoffs, Fear Itself seems to be the crossover that never ends. DC's fresh start served as a much stronger hook for this particular super-hero comics reader. Still, there's no denying Marvel has an impressive array of creative talent at its disposal, and it was that lineup that ultimately led me to second-guess my initial decision to avoid Marvel's new "Point One" brand.
I should've stuck with my initial gut feeling.
