space opera at its finest, if you don'tmind long drawn out stories then this is for you.

Do you think that a humanity in danger is a unified humanity who has all it's personal problems dissolving? Do you think that adventures through space and realizing how insignificant humanity is among other races will make us forget our own problems, desire for revenge, overwhelming guilts and petty betrayals?
Then read Fear Agent and learn why you are wrong.
This book has it all: horror, action, tension, drama. And the best is, you never know what's coming next. I'll avoid any spoilers, but any fan of walking dead, fables, and/or science fiction of any kind ought to read this book. As Eric Powell said, if more comic books were like fear agent, I'd buy more comic books.

This is a great series. It is action pact, with laser beams, jet packs, aliens, spaceships and everything that make the space opera genre great. please pick this up if you are a comic fan you will love it.

"Hatchet Job", even the title of the book brings up images of roughshod work with nasty edges, pieces that don't fit, and a hurried, frenetic effort to get a job done. This book, however is anything but that.
Yeah, there's lots of blood shed, battles, aliens, cool looking spacecraft, and a mess of personal problems. The new Fear Agents are sent out from Earth on two desperate missions, one to Neavsivia, and one to Kipferi. Their mission: to cleanse the earth of Feeder aliens, and to locate new home for humanity. Even in space, revenge is a dish best served cold. Mara, finds Levi Diablo and her quest for revenge is near complete. Heath and Keith settle their differences in a death duel during the Tetaldian games. The galactic chess game moves from the past to the present. Past sins hurdle time and collide in a tense, final confrontation. Personal and private pains explode.

Wow! Remeder, Opena , and Dwyer have contructed an amazing space fantasy that blasts off where Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Dan Dare, and the Empire left off. Galactic intrigue, personal conflicts, and a strong sense that no matter how far we go out there, we take ALL of our flaws with us. This is a space drama of the most extreme that reeks with characterization and tension.

I love the outstanding art job by Jerome Opena and Kieron Dwyer. They handle the wide variety of scenes with even dexterity and gusto. A passion for their craft is easily obvious and appreciated.
Fear Agent is far out!
