Fear Agent, Volume 4: Hatchet Job by Rick Remender, Michelle Madsen, Jerome Opeña

5.0

Avoided this series for so long just because of my faulty assumptions. I can't get enough now! After the last volume's gut-punch flashbacks, I didn't think we would see more loss and heartbreak, yet here it is. The characters are just so brilliantly varied and layered. The motivation behind what Maya does (that really tears apart the series) is amazing. The actions of everyone have real consequences and the entire story is playing out at a breakneck speed that I usually wouldn't like but somehow works here.

You know what it reminds me of? The Walking Dead early volumes before it turned into a 'let's watch your favorite beloved character get raped/butchered/eaten/racially assaulted'.

Just great.
