Rated by buyers -
Written by Rick Remender; Illustrated by Jerome Opena. Fear Agent is like one of those old fashioned Space adventures like Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers, except for the fact that our hero, Heath Huston is a foul-mouthed, lecherous, alcoholic who kicks serious alien but. The book even has the look of those old 40's sci-fi pulps with its retro-looking rocket ships and laser guns.
Heath has had to travel back in time to stop the alien race of bubble-brained (literally!) robots known as the Tetaldians from destroying the Earth. He succeeds, but in doing so has upset the fabric of time. He's captured by the Keepers and charged with crimes against the known universe. Heath is belligerent as usual but goes absolutely nuts when he finds out that the Keepers intend to restore the Tetaldian Empire after Heath has worked so hard to destroy them. Heath is given a life sentence but soon after the Keepers have a mysterious change of heart and release him.
Heath now returns to find Earth again ravaged by the Tetaldians but this time finds allies in a group of surviving Fear Agents who have taken refuge on the Moon. Fear Agent is great stuff. Heath seems influenced by Bruce Willis' character from the Die Hard films. No matter how he is beat down he just won't give up. It's action from cover-to-cover but also filled with a good deal of often-bawdy humor. The cinematic visuals of Jerome Opena put a topper on what has been a great series so far. Good Sci-Fi stories are really lacking in comics yesterday and Fear Agent is one of the best.
