edit

Some of the larger implications involve:

  • The separation of The Incredible Hulk from Bruce Banner and his attempts to make himself a Hulk again at any cost.
  • The emergence of a new god of Thunder called Tanarus whom everyone but Loki remembers as the only God of Thunder.
  • The coming together again of the Defenders.
  • The emergence of Marcus Johnston, an American soldier who finds himself embroiled in a contest for his allegiance in the Marvel universe.

The mini series Fear Itself: The Fearless is unbannered but involved, as are the three Fear Itself epilogue issues while some titles will only be bannered once as part of the event, though the storyline may be ongoing for a few issues.[2]
