Manhunter
This is really "the little book that could"! It has consistently been one of the poorest selling comic books for DC. I ADORE THIS BOOK !!!
Kate Spencer is a feisty prosecutor who is disgusted by the lack of justice when dealing with super villains. After one of her cases goes badly she decides to take justice into her own hands. She manages to obtain several abandoned costume pieces from various super villains and heroes. She becomes Manhunter and serves her own style of justice! This book also has one of the most interesting and diverse cast of supporting characters ever!
This poor title has really been through the ringer! After the "one year later" event happened (all DC titles fast forwarded forward one year) we found that Kate had become a defense attorney. She was now defending the very super villains that she was against before. The book actually got cancelled this year...but after many letters to the VIPs of DC and a very organized campaign by fans, DC chose to extend the title for five more issues. Now we are getting a new five issue arc starting in December. It will involve Kate acting as defense Attorney for none other than Wonder Woman.
I urge anyone who may come across this post to go out and pick up this title. There is a collection of the first six issues you can buy HERE. The second Manhunter trade paper back will be out soon. The writing is awesome, the art is awesome, it is all just awesome! Read it! You should also check out this page too (for all sorts of Manhunter info including how you can help save the book)
I have also decided to show you a preview of Manhunter's new story arc to wet your palette with! Click for larger versions.
