MARVEL COMICS NEWS ROUNDUP

Marvel Comics on Tuesday announced Fear Itself: X-Force, the latest tie-in to its event of 2011.
Fear Itself: X-Force will be a three-issue series by Rob Williams and Simone Bianchi and will start in July.
Here's how Marvel describes the book:
"The end is nigh and a group of hate-mongering extremists know just who to blame -- super humans! But as fear rains down upon the Marvel Universe, Uncanny X-Force will be the only thing that stands between this band of frenzied zealots and mass murder on a global scale."
"What exactly is a mutant super hero kill crew afraid of? That's the question we had to ask," said Williams. "A rogue cult of Purifiers believe that the actions of Fear Itself are the early stages of Armageddon and that they must kill many people as possible so their souls can ascend 'before the devil knows they're dead.' You can't question X-Force for wanting these crazies dead. But was it the actions of 'heroes' like X-Force that actually brought about the potential Armageddon of Fear Itself?"
