The House of Ideas’ 2011 comic book event is called Fear Itself.

“There is a secret, a concealed act that happened at the heart of the Marvel Universe years ago, that once revealed will change everything,” Tom Brevoort said during a press conference on the series. “We’ve been setting up dominoes covertly for a while now – some that have been recognized by fans and some that have remained covert.”
Like Civil War and Secret Invasion, the Fear Itself series will present a complete story for those readers that want to only pick up this core title. However, as a universe-encompassing event, this story will also affect a majority of the characters in the Marvel Universe, thus tie-in stories will play out through ongoing series as well as in new mini-series launched in coordination with Fear Itself.
In March, Marvel will release a Fear Itself: Prologue from writer Ed Brubaker and artist Scot Eaton, a World War II-era story starring Captain America and the Invaders that sets the stage for this event’s start.
