Fear Agent, Volume 1: Re-Ignition by Rick Remender
5.0
There are a few comics out there that I’ve read and purchased for the library because of the sheer brilliance, fun, originality, and devotion to the weird that some comic readers, teen and/or adult, either truly appreciate or need to read: Billy the Kid’s Old Timey Oddities, Busiek & Nord’s Conan books, Niles’ Cal McDonald books, etc. Each one, a Dark Horse property. And now, they’ve given us Fear Agent!
Hard drinking Fear Agent Heath Houston (think Bruce Campbell and Spaceballs‘ Capt. Lone Starr all-in-one) is on a job: retreive a bunch of spaceship parts from a planet inhabited by a bunch of neo-neanderthals. No problem, until Heath runs into the class-A lifeform, a huge brain (forget Krang) in a jelly sac controlling the proto-primates. Let the fistfights, lasers, frag grenades and one-liners fly! If this sounds pretty cool, then you’ll enjoy the next 70 pages after this intro to one of the most fun comics I’ve read this year!
