Fear Agent #24

The third chapter of "I Against I" arrives with Tony Moore's cover delivering a visceral jolt — a battered, bearded man in a red shirt grimaces through the chaos, pistol in one hand while a monstrous alien creature, knife-wielding claw and all, looms in close to grapple him amid a shower of debris. Rick Remender and Moore's Fear Agent was already one of Dark Horse's most kinetic sci-fi action series in 2008, and this issue — colored with a gritty, ochre-drenched palette by Lee Loughridge — captures that spirit perfectly. If you've been following this arc, issue #24 looks like exactly the kind of desperate, all-out brawl the series does so well.
