Manhunter #36 - DC

I like this series, it's just really got me bothered that it's going to be cancelled again. If that was the case, why did they even bother bringing it back? Why didn't they just do a Manhunter maxi-series . . 8 or 10 issues . . and use it to alliterate this final story-arc? I don't know . . it just kind of has me peeved. I'm enjoying Marc Andreyko's story here. It's very intricate and involved . . it's almost like a big spider web. Things in his stories always seem to be going in a lot of different directions. There's a main story-line, but there's always lots of little sub-plots going on here and there. However, everything is all connected. We may not see it right away, but . . we will eventually. This issue Kate, with some help from the Birds, kind of wrap up the whole Vesetech scandal. The problem is, Kate was originally brought in to this because of all the women being abducted . . especially south of the border, but I don't think Vesetech's 'outing' has done anything to stop any of that. Also, even though the Goliath has been stopped in it's tracks, it's far from dead and Kate's work is really only just beginning. But what's coming at here now can't be fought in her union-suit. These battles are going to be fought in the courtroom or along political lines. Vesetech had a lot of ties, and it seems that all of that is going to begin coming to bear on her head. But, like I said, that's the main story. There's also the problem with Cam and Dylan. He's hiding out from the Joker, and she's carrying his baby. The only person that knows is Mark, and I think he's got his own romantic feelings about her . . baby or not. Plus there's the whole thing about Vesetech's ties to . . well, everything. This could have some serious long-term consequences. Some people may be praising Kate, but others . . such as Bones or Waller . . will be cursing her name for a while to come. As I said, the abductions haven't stopped. And there's the story of this family at the end of this issue . . I don't seem to remember them . . Ted, a doctor, and his kids and wife. They're in their Brentwood house having what appears to be a normal day . . considering there's protesters outside of his house calling him a baby-killer . . when all of the sudden he's shot in the head through the window. Oh, and don't forget about all of Kate's personal issues that she has to deal with . . Iron Munro being Ramsey's grandfather . . Thor, the robot dog he gave him . . or the appearance of 'powers' that Ramsey's displayed but Kate doesn't know about yet. Like I said, a very intricate and complex story. But overall, I like it. I'm still not thrilled about Michael Gaydos' art. It's ok, but . . I don't know . . I just don't like it for this book. Anyways, enjoy the last couple of issue while you can.
