One of the Finest Works the Medium has ever seen., April 27, 2001
This review is from: Manhunter: The Special Edition (Paperback)
Two legends of the comic field,Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson have created a most masterful, stunning tale. Those who have read Manhunter know that every accolade it has earned is just. Short of Watchmen, Manhunter ranks as my second favourite. The pacing is incredible, packing a great deal of storytelling in a few pages, yet with out overloading us. This story has already become legendary. The art is dynamic, and vibrant. Simonson's pictures flow with Goodwin's words seamlessly. Nothing I can say can do it justice. Manhunter is simply brilliant.

A MINOR MASTERPIECE, November 14, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Manhunter: The Special Edition (Paperback)
A couple of things that always strike me whenever I read these stories. 1)I'm always amazed at how good Walt Simonson was at the very begining of his career. This was the first major work that he had ever done for one of the "Big Two" and he was turning in work that looked like he had been doing this for years. Of course the scripts by Archie Goodwin weren't bad either. 2)Goodwin and Simonson were able to cram more action, drama, ideas and character developement into 8 pages than most other pros could in 30-40. 3)Considering that this title only ran for 8 installments it sure carried away a slew of Eagle Awards at the time. Still a minor masterpiece after all of these years.

Graphic SF Reader, September 2, 2007
This review is from: Manhunter: The Special Edition (Paperback)
If I have a chance to grab only a few graphic novels in a fire, this is one of them. A story that made a lasting impression and I can still visualist many panels from. A fabulous tale of one man's quest to do right, break his conditioning and stamp out an evil.
It doesn't help to have the help of a beautiful woman, Batman, and a master ninja. There are lots of ninjas and clones around, as well.
Masterful art and storytelling.
