This volume puts the new set-up that debuted in volume 3 of Manhunter on hold: Kate successfully defends Doctor Psycho, creating the connection that she (and Director Bones) want with the Secret Society of Super Villains, but this doesn't actually go anywhere in this volume because Wonder Woman turns up, asking Kate to be her defense attorney when she's up before a grand jury for possible indictment for the murder of Maxwell Lord back in The OMAC Project. Even though it's neither Kate-as-Manhunter-kills-the-villains-the-law-can't-touch nor Kate-must-put-her-instincts-aside-and-defend-villains, I was on board at first: there's some fun legal wrangling, Wonder Woman's regalness is a great contrast to Kate's earthiness, and Ted "Blue Beetle" Kord even puts in an appearance despite being dead. But by the end of the book, things didn't quite land. Kate avoids an indictment for Wonder Woman, but it mostly feels like Checkmate did the actual work. In the meantime, Kate's supporting cast have gone on some adventures (Cameron and Dylan face an old supervillain; Mark avoids more mystical summons) that don't really integrate well with the rest of the book. The human elements of Manhunter are always solid, but Andreyko struggles to integrate them with compelling superheroics. The villains Kate fights often feel like filler, and Unleashed continues that trend. Once again, great premise, middling execution. Manhunter: « Previous in sequence | Next in sequence » While I'm still enjoying this series, I'm not as excited about the increased focus on Kate's supporting cast. The resolution of the Dr. Psycho trial and the suggestion that Kate's switch from the prosecution to the defense is part of a more long-term scheme were especially interesting, and I enjoyed Kate's interactions with Wonder Woman. In a lot of ways, Kate is very much like Wonder Woman, only with a greater emphasis on the problems caused by her personal life and less power. All in all, an enjoyable series, and I'm glad it's been extended. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
