Fear Agent #17

Fear Agent #17 kicks off the "Hatchet Job" arc in grand, chaotic fashion, and Jerome Opeña's cover sets the tone immediately — a knife-wielding man rides atop a massive, gape-mouthed alien fish creature while a pale, clawed extraterrestrial adversary lunges at him mid-air, with more of the strange orange leviathans and their monstrous riders swarming the sulfurous green background. It's the kind of cover that makes perfectly clear Rick Remender's sci-fi world operates at a relentless, pulpy pitch. With Opeña's linework and Michelle Madsen's vivid, otherworldly colors, this first chapter of five promises a wild ride.
