3.0
As a crossover event, the plot is pretty thin. This event is a bit messy with stilted dialogues, slow plot movement and a repeat villain. There have been many variants of Sin - as a metaphor and a motif in several events before. Fear Itself varies slightly by introducing obscure villain and general mayhem that follows a harebrained scheme and power obsessed insane person.
The deaths of known faces have no impact because the aftermaths of tragedy isn't seen in this volume. Without reading the tie-ins or the characters' individual story arcs, Fear Itself is a difficult and an incomplete read. For the sheer entertainment factor this volume deserves a three star rating but the overall plot and its execution is a sold 2.
