The Fear Agents are no more. Once known throughout the universe for driving three invading alien races from Earth, they stood as a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Now, Heath Huston drunkenly scuttles across the galaxy as an alien exterminator – the last of their ranks. Combining the aesthetic elements of all three of the genres that made EC comics the high water mark of sequential storytelling – science fiction, war, and horror – Heath's adventures take readers on monthly jaunts to brave new worlds overrun by jellyfish brains, wild ape-men and rickety robots bent on intergalactic domination!

Reviews:

With each issue, Fear Agent gets just a little bit better. Give it another six months and this could be the coolest f@#$ing book on the planet.
--Hilary Goldstein, IGN

Mr. Remender delivers a multi-tiered, well-constructed story that is not just about the violence of an action hero but manages to squeeze in some of his humanity.
--Joseph Szadkowski, The Washington Times

Rick Remender, the writer behind some of the freshest books coming out from Image these days ‹ including Strange Girl and Sea Of Red, teams with artist Tony Moore, best known for The Walking Dead, to bring us a solid mix of sci-fi, horror and humour. Fear Agent is one of the best new series of 2006 and it keeps getting better every month.
--Jonathan P. Kuehlein, Metro News Toronto

FEAR AGENT is not just great science fiction in a form of media that has seemed to have lost touch with the concept of it, but it's also just fun comics. Tons of action and genuine moments of utter badassery, the occasional flare for the dramatic, and a nice use of black humor... FEAR AGENT is a must for anyone who ever found themselves wishing Han Solo had his own movie series.--Humphrey Lee, Ain't it Cool News

STRANGE GIRL is exactly that. Strange, plus she's a girl. But it's so much more. Redemption, demons, magic spells, hopelessness, friendship and bellyshirts. Rick Remender takes a loving, nostalgic look at the coming Apocalypse
--Patton Oswalt

Strange Girl blends theological questions with fast-paced action and a hefty dose of pop-culture references. Remender keeps the pacing brisk and the snappy dialogue flying. The humor weaves itself through a fun adventure that feels a bit like a Pixar movie from the pits of Hell. Strange Girl is IGN¹s runner up for the best new series of 2005.
--Hilary Goldstein, IGN

Eric Nguyen's work looks like, a collaboration between Jill Thompson and Duncan Fregredo after a fifth of tequila.
--Johnny Bacardi, comicbookgalaxy.com

Strange Girl combines an odd mix of theological debate, high action, drama, and horror, yet somehow never manages to settle in one spot long enough for you to slap a label on it. Strange Girl is Remender¹s best current work and merging star, Nguyen makes Strange Girl an aesthetic standout.
--Marc Mason, Movie Poop Shoot

The artwork is stunning, as Eric Nguyen provides a look that is unique, a cross between the anime cel look of Josh Middleton and the sketchy, exaggerated work of Sonny Liew or Sam Kieth.
-- Randy Lander, the Fourth Rail

Rick Remender blends wicked humor with larger questions about religion and Eric Nguyen¹s kinetic art is perfect for this story¹s breakneck pace.
-- Wizard magazine

Strange Girl is my favorite of Remender¹s books. It has a charming, courageous, young lady for a heroine, a wise-cracking demon for a sidekick, explores some important spiritual themes, and features multiple types of horror from the big, supernatural kind to the more mundane, chilling kind associated with truly evil human beings-- One of my picks for top ten of the year.

Sea of Red
Written by: Rick Remender andKieron Dwyer
Art by: Samgood Sal, Paul Harmon and Francesco Francavilla
Published by Image Comics
13 issue miniseries

Don't call it a pirate tale or a horror story. This comic defies generalizations. Sure, it has pirates and yes, it does indeed have vampires, but Sea of Red is a lot deeper than most horror books and just about any pirates tale. This is a story of revenge and just like every page of this first issue, it's a tale coated in red.

Reviews:

Sea of Red is not just a really good pirate comic or a really good vampire comic, or even a really good fusion of two genres. It's just an example of excellent comics storytelling, and as a bonus, it is set in genres that don't get a lot of exposure in the medium. It's got all the mood and restraint of horror stories from the more romantic era, with a sense of style, dialogue and characterization that is very modern. 10/10
--Randy Lander, ThefourthRail.com

Check out this blisteringly cool title about horror on the high seas. Frequent collaborator Remender and Dwyer deliver the goods. #1 buzz bin pick
--Wizard Magazine

The book is fairly brutal and graphically violent, so it definitely isn't for everyone. But for a story of this kind, the blood and viscera feel necessary, and they're rendered beautifully. SEA OF RED is a striking piece of entertainment and should find a happy niche in the marketplace. If you like horror, vampires, pirates, or combinations thereof, pick it up and you' ll be happy. Grade:A
---Mark Mason, moviepoopshoot.com

--Chock-a-block full of thrills, suspense, and involving characters. The morbid cliffhanger that both begins and concludes the initial chapter is certainly enough to pique reader interest in the subsequent issues. The ship and crew of this title might be cursed, but Sea of Red may just turn out to be a blessing in disguise for readers everywhere.
--Kevin S. Mahoney, insidepulse.com

The story feels like something legendary and mythical, while also immediately marking itself out from the usual visual styles that we associate with these genres. The creators are setting out here to play with the genre conventions without getting sucked into them, and the unique look of the book plays a key part in their success. It's different, but it feels absolutely right for the premise. (Sea of Red) succeeds in taking two rather stale genres and combining them into something fresh. A
---Paul O'Brien, thexaxis.com

Sea of Red #1 is a fantastic debut to the series; reading this comic, you'll not just enjoy it, you'll be desperate for more. Remender, Dwyer, and Sam have created a book that defies all categorizations other than the most obvious one: excellent. A lot of new series appear on my desk, but it's not often that I've read a first issue and instantly thought that we had a winner. Very well done, everyone involved.
--Greg McElhatton , iComics.com

An intelligent vampire pirate tale washed in red and filled with an overall sense of dread. A must-have for anyone who's sick of superheroes.
--IGN.com

--The story transcends its concept and its genres and in the end is just a story about an ordinary, relatable man in an extraordinary situation.
