After her first night out as the Manhunter, Kate Spencer is black and blue and haunted by a foreboding dream. Even worse, L.A. is in an uproar over Copperhead's death by the Manhunter's hand, drawing the vengeful attention of Shadow Thief. And Kate's son arrives for a custody visit, which quickly goes sour!
Saizs art has the efficient clarity of Ivan Reis, or of any of the JSA pencillers. He finds a darkness appropriate to this series, a film noir tone that befits his hard-boiled gumshoe leading lady, and especially the extreme villains Manhunter is starting to attract. In fact, hes almost reaching a J.H. Williams level of expressive clarity in certain panels, though he still falls short of the style Jae Lee masters on the covers. Read Full Review
Manhunter continues to offer thrills and intrigue through a smart--apart from the smoking--strong female hero. Bonus points for killing the most annoying character introduced in the book. Read Full Review
Manhunter 2 is a real disappointment. It’s only the second issue and we’re already reading about Kate’s family life. It’s not bad, per se, but we’ve just met Kate as a character and it feels rushed to see her already interacting with her son like this. The crime noir element from last issue is nearly gone, and I wish we got more POV from the police detectives. Art is still great
