Fear Agent #21

Hatchet Job" reaches its fifth and final chapter with this striking Dark Horse entry in Rick Remender's beloved sci-fi series. The cover by Tony Moore pulls in tight on a wide-eyed, slack-jawed man staring in apparent horror at a glowing, skeletal green alien creature crackling with eerie energy — the contrast between that cold blue light on the man's face and the creature's sickly luminescence makes for a genuinely unsettling composition. With art inside from Kieron Dwyer and Jerome Opeña and colors by Michelle Madsen, this 2008 issue wraps up an arc in style.
