If you check out CBR anytime soon the first article you should take a look at is their interview with Fear Agent creator Rick Remender. Anyone that's read this blog before, listened to the Sidekickcast (our most excellent podcast) or has bumped into me briefly on the street somewhere will know that my favourite comic book of the moment is Fear Agent. I've already waxed lyrical here about how pissed I am at Marvel for stealing Remender away for the stories in their books meaning he can no longer do work on his independent work, Fear Agent being a big part of that. Well it seems according to the CBR interview I owe Marvel an apology, they were quite happy for Remender to carry on with his work for Dark Horse with Fear Agent but the writer himself felt it was time to bring the series to a conclusion.

However the best piece of news to come out of this interview was that Fear Agent will return! Thanks to the major motion picture adaptation that's in development at Universal Remender will be looking to relaunch Fear Agent to coincide with developments in the production of the movie hopefully introducing a new audience to the character of Heath Huston and sating crazy ass psycho stalker fans like myself. I couldn't be happier about this as far too often independent creators get the 'Big Two' callup and totally forget all about their independent work, don't get me wrong I'm not blaming them as you gotta pay the bills but it's nice to know that Remender isn't done with the character and is going to be giving the fans the payoff they deserve.

The latest issue of Fear Agent #27 is out now and the series will end with issue #32 and the previous five trade paperback volumes can be found in all the usual bookstores and comic book shops, miss it at your peril.

Fear Agent is a science fiction comic book series by Rick Remender with art by Tony Moore and Jerome Opena, who alternate on story arcs. The series is published by Dark Horse Comics and previously by Image Comics.

It stars the rugged alcoholic Texas spaceman Heath Huston, the supposed last Fear Agent, in a series of fast-paced adventures. The series is notable for its emphasis on action, adventure, horror, and plot twists rather than realism or scientific detail; Remender claims in the first issue that "science fiction has lost its stones" and that Fear Agent is his attempt to fight that trend. Many incidents in the early issues are unexplained until many issues later to reinforce this. - Wiki.
