Fear Agent Volume One TPB
Rick Remender (w), Tony Moore (a)
Dark Horse Comics

Liz says: Got a taste for far-out sci-fi action/adventure stories, a la Indiana Jones meets Star Wars? So does Rick Remender, and Fear Agent is Remender at his best. This highly underrated gem of a series follows disgraced alien exterminator Heath Huston, who must pull himself out of a drunken depression when he discovers a genocidal plot against humanity. He is the last Fear Agent. Fear Agent debuted back in the mid-noughties before Remender was a Big Name writer, and it’s been out of print until the recent oversized hardcovers. Now at last it’s being released in simple trade paperbacks, all the better for me to foist upon customers looking for a good, inexpensive recommendation! Speaking of which, if you happen to be looking for a good, inexpensive recommendation, look no further than Fear Agent volume one, out this week for less than a tenner! I promise you’ll be glad that you did.
