Fear Agent, Volume 1: Re-Ignition by Rick Remender

2.0

I was sold this as "good old fashioned pulp". I'm sure the misogyny is meant as parody but it's so unpleasant and predominant. The male hero is still a brute who saves the cowering young woman. The two female characters exist to be an annoying nag, a care-giver, T&A and dopey-eyed shut-down fear. It's also littered with typos, and the writing has some funny moments but is predominantly clunky. I'm told the sexism is developed in a positive way but I'm not going to be continuing with the series just to see that happen. Do any women like this book?
