Manhunter, Vol. 3: Origins by Javier Pina, Marc Andreyko, Fernando Blanco
4.0

Manhunter continues being a damn fine surprise.

This volume is broken up with the "1 year later" DC event. The first half is Manhunter doing her rounds and beating up baddies while also trying to be a better mom. Then her pops comes into the picture and you find out who he really is and he goes after her son! Then the one year later has some really good ideas with Dr. Psycho and his court case was a nice change of pace here. Will Manhunter be the ultimate superhero?

The thing that still works so well is the back and forth between her regular life and superhero life. The art is solid with some badass fight scenes. I also really enjoy almost all the different interactions and everyone seems to have their own voice. This is easily one of the best volumes so far. A 4 out of 5.
