Yesterday Marvel Comics announced their next event in 2011, “Fear Itself“. The latest 7-issue cross-over will pit eight Marvel Super heroes against their worst fears. The story is written by Matt Fraction and feature artwork by Stuart Immonen.

Here’s an excerpt of the press conference from ComicsAlliance.com:

In a taped message, Fraction said Fear Itself will be “Relatable to where we are today and something that speaks to the world we live in. There is a shadow of anxiousness and anger, reason and discourse have taken a backseat to mob hysteria.” Fraction added that if you don’t believe him, remember his words the next time you walk through the security line at an airport.

And in typical Marvel Comics fashion, they made a trailer for the comic cross over event:
