Manhunter #19

The cover of this April 2006 issue says it all: Manhunter, red-costumed and weapon blazing with electric-blue energy, looms above a powerfully built, square-jawed man in civilian clothes whose fist erupts with a blinding burst of force — and the tagline "Daddy's Little Girl Is All Grown Up Now" makes the family tension unmistakably clear. Jesús Saiz's linework gives both figures a raw, kinetic presence that perfectly sells the emotional stakes of "Who's Your Daddy? Finale: Deaths in the Family." With Marc Andreyko writing and Javier Pina and Fernando Blanco on interior art, this concluding chapter of the arc promises the kind of charged confrontation that made this era of Manhunter genuinely compelling.
