Fear Agent, Volume 1: Re-Ignition
by Rick Remender
New Review - I'd probably bump it to a 3.5, almost a 4. I really enjoyed my time this time around. I think the character of Heath grew on me, and the over the top action mixed with quick paced kept it good. A little too much internal dialogue and talking, but this is early Remender.
Original Review - 3 out of 5 - Probably one of Rick's weaker works, but hell, it's still pretty fun.
So there used to be exterminators. People who would go around the universe and take out species that are considered bad, or that could hurt others, but they're all gone now. There's one left, or least shown, in this series. Heath Huston starts off as a comedy-sci-fi adventure. However the last two issues seem to take a darker tone, a time bending change, and by the end some shit goes down that sets up the future of this series in a interesting way.
Good: The art is pretty solid. It's by Tony Moore, the guy who did Walking Dead, and it has a lot of facial expressions plastered on there. I also thought the comedy stuff was funny and I actually like Heath Huston, plus it was nice when he himself knew he was being a dick. The first 2-3 issues were a lot of fun.
Bad: The last two issues had a ton of exposition and kind of bored me really at points. The very end brought me back to being intrigued but it did get to far up it's own ass to stay interesting at times which sadden me, also the woman character, who I can't even recall her name, seemed oddly placed here.
Overall this was a fun space adventure but it lacked the punch I hoped for. With the ending leaving for interesting possibilities though I'm ready for another one. A 3 out of 5.
