'Fear Agent' enters final story arc

Writer Rick Remender's Fear Agent series will begin its final five-issue storyline with the release of issue #28.

Remender will then embark on a period where he will focus on his Marvel-exclusive work.

"The story hits the intended ending at issue #32, and readers will finally get a conclusion, no more cliffhangers," Remender told Comic Book Resources. "It’s a wrap."

The last story arc will mix wild-western themes with Fear Agent's typical sci-fi trappings. Remender called the concluding arc "the most nonlinear story [he's] ever written".

"Time consumption, the null bang and more Jellybrains… unbridled imagination is the name of the game on this last arc," he explained. "It’s also a good place to set it down and take a break for a while."

It was recently announced that Fear Agent would be made into a movie by Universal. Remender has estimated the cost of the film at $100 million (£59 million).

Fear Agent #27 is out now.
