Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt

In 2011, Marvel's Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt spun out of the larger Fear Itself event, focusing on a squad of young heroes—Gravity, Rage, Prodigy, and others—caught in the chaos of a world under siege. Written primarily by Sean McKeever with art by Mike Norton and Mark Bagley, this six-issue series gave these lesser-known teen characters a chance to step up and prove their mettle when the adult heroes were overwhelmed. It's a compact, character-driven action story that highlights the courage and growing pains of Marvel's next generation during a dark, blockbuster crossover.
