Like Remender's other books this once is interesting but does not quite come together.
In this case a retro-science fiction world is introduced but before we really get to know it, or care about it, the characters are blasted back in time to a completely different world.
Maybe it comes back together in a later volumes but I was not interested enought to come back for more.

Fear Agent really harkens back to the days of old sci-fi pulps and TV shows and movie serials with a thrilling, and adventurous story in the best tradition of Keith Laumer and Harry Harrison. This trade paperback collects the very first four issues of Fear Agent published by Image Comics and written by Rick Remender and pencils by Tony Moore.
Heath Houston is a Fear Agent, the last of his kind---and alien exterminator with a license to kill...as long as the lifeform is the right class. There's nothing Heath likes more than his job, other than perhaps a good bottle of booze. A harrowing escape from the planet Frazterga following a somewhat botched job (In the Mayor's opinion) leads to Heath taking a job to investigate a trading and re-fueling outpost that has lost communications. Heath arrives to find the space station outpost apparently abandoned...but not quite. Heath soon discovers that the outpost has been overrun by Feeders, an octopoid-like race that does nothing but feed on flesh and reproduce.
Heath soon finds that an alien race called the Dressites have smuggled the feeders to the outpost but that's not the worst of it...now having re-fueled the Dressites are on their way to Earth with their deadly cargo, ready to wipeout mankind. Only Heath, and an outpost survivor named Mara stand in their way!
What a true joy it was to read this book! This is good, old-fashioned space-opera, laced with witty, sarcastic humor. Houston is like a sci-fi version of James Bond...if he were to imbibe far too many martinis. Two-fisted and packing all sorts of butt-kicking weaponry, Houston is truly a hero for the 21st century. Tony Moore's art is perfect for the title. Heath isn't some muscle-bound, steroid-enhanced super hero and Mara isn't a super-model with augmented [...]. Credit Moore of knowing how to be subtle and working within the framework of Remender's story.
My only complaint is that much like the old Flash Gordon movie serials, the book ends with a cliffhanger. I guess we'll just have to wait until part two.

Part western, part sci-fi , part comedy , this book has it all without drowning out the most important element; story. Mr. Remember has crafted a very fun tale that takes the reader through a roller-coaster ride of action and intrigue. And Tony Moore's pencils are at his usual top-notch quality. I could'nt believe this book was under $10.00 and I can't wait for the subsequent trade !
