Pretty good book; now I just have to wait on the conclusion. Like I said in my last review of the series, when the author is trying to deal seriously with topics like death, drug addiction, and heartbreak, there have to be some emotional breaks, some ponderous moments to break up the action, and this arc had that, more than previously.
The plot was still awfully contrived, and in that way that always annoys me: Remender ignores perfectly serviceable conflicts in order to focus on less natural one...more

There's always been a certain amount of Western in "Fear Agent", but this story arc really pushes it to the forefront, to the point where the science-fiction parts seem like clumsily added afterthoughts. I think it will take a re-reading of the previous arcs to get me back into what it was trying to do. I'm also really disappointed in the end, since I believe Remender is concentrating on Marvel work now and the rapidly-added cliffhanger will go unanswered for a while.

Remender continues to make great use of a variety of SF tropes, but presented in innovative ways. At the same time, he builds the whole comic on a foundation of great characters.
Now we're getting back to what I saw in the first volume.
This one's just wow. The art's gorgeous, the story's nuts...such good stuff.
I'm super confused, but I can't wait until the next volume.
*sigh*
the drawings are cramazing (crazy+amazing), also with the 50's lingo one liners
