Fear Agent

Hey all! Just got finished reading this great new book called Fear Agent. It's on it's seventh issue right now, but the trade just came out a couple of weeks ago and I been meaning to read it for a bit now. It's written by Rick Remender, the same guy who wrote Sea of Red and Strange Girl, and the first trade is illustrated by The Walking Dead's Tony Moore. The main character, Heath Huston, is the last Fear Agent, which if Heath is any example, were a bunch of hard drinking foul-mouthed Texan bounty hunters. Reminds me a bit of Lazarus Long crossed with Lobo. Add in retro-spaceships, giant brains, ape-men, giant tentacled monsters, time travel, intelligent yeti, intelligent yetis in robot bodies, cloning, more giant brains, big wars, more time travel, city destroying spaceships, time cops, and, well, what more do you need really? At times the inner monologue can just keep going and going with out saying a thing about anything, so that's a bit of drawback. Actually, it reminds me a bit of my own writing in that regard. I guess that means there's hope after all! So, it might not be the best book on the shelf, but it's a hell of a lot fun.

Oh, yeah - you can read the first issue online for free!
