Rating: 4/5
I enjoyed The Hunt quite a bit. It was different from other superhero books I've been reading lately. It stars Animal Man, aka Buddy Baker, who is a retired superhero. We get to see him having a relatively normal life with his family until he learns that his daughter has developed powers.
Others have found out about his daughter's powers and are trying to kill her. Buddy takes his daughter on a journey to learn more about her powers and the strange dream they have shared, while these others chase them and attack the rest of their family.
Travel Foreman's art is king in this book. It can be gruesome at times, though I find it to be horrifically beautiful. There are juxtapositions between the story and the art that tend to make everything have more of an impact. Like a good horror story, these elements aren't present right away. But once things get going, the creators do not let up.
I'm not real familiar with Animal Man, but this feels like a good continuation of the character to me.
