And just when you thought we are only going to do more Marvels with the occasional intrusion by DC or Image ... here's an issue that we thoroughly enjoyed even though the artwork is not our preference but it works so well in this issue ... and lengthy letters page where there are all sorts of discussion going on is just entertaining as heck!So ... what's a Fear Agent?
SPOILER ALERT
Basically in the near or far future, aliens invaded and earthlings lost. There are pockets of survivors here on earth and out there in space and a ragtag of more organized (read that with weapons) survivors who are dressed up in orange suits fighting the aliens ... so who is our protagonist? He is a loser sort of macho man who drowns his sorrows with non-stop drinking ... flying out there trying to live each day without giving a damn as he has seen too much pain
Do you think this series would be a success if such was all it tells each issue? Obviously not eh?
Naturally Heath is going to run into other earthlings, get suck back onto earth, relationships, betrayals, killings, massacres, genocide and more ... are only to be expected as this series develops
In short, whatever you read here in issue 1 is a hint of all the goodness to come. So BUY BUY BUY
Ratings: 8/10
