Another solid issue. My only complaint was the ant-venom thing. That was a little weak. And don't be affraid to give more screen time to Dylan, he's the fucking man. Keep up the good work Mark!

Can't wait to read it.

Don't know when I'll be able to swing by the LCS, but looking forward to it.

Cool issue. I like seeing someone that attacts as many enemies with her normal ID as her secret one. She's working herself in deep into the superhero ranks, it's going to be interesting to see how she copes with it.

I really like the way the story is building. It has a certain tension to it. It just seems that Kate's story is building to a head and I honestly can't see her coming out of it safely. Like Ryan said, she's attracting a lot of enemies, but to add to it, I'd say a lot of heroes. It's only a matter of time before some DCer decides to find this costumed woman who is killing villains left and right.

SPOILERS!!!!!

I'm enjoying the series and the art. Each issue has left me wanting more. My only complaint is that certain things get wrapped up a little too easily. The costume fitting, the anti-venom, her son being ok and no one actually going after her for him being hurt in the first place are just a few examples. Otherwise, it's awesome. Thanks for the great book!

So, who is Phobia? I've never heard of her or seen her. I am sure she's not a new creation but who's rogue gallery is she from?

She first appeared in New Teen Titans back in '81.

She most recently made a brief appearance in identity Crisis.

I agree. I enjoy this series, but still feel it has room for improvement, this seemed to "pit pat" a resolution, my recommendation is to let things breathe, I know titles that are struggling have to get in there and grab attention and move quickly, but I think a slow build will pay off in the end. Make the book more complex, especially in the trial scenes, which I feel are sometimes rushed for time. I'm not trying to be negative, just provide some constructive criticism, because I really am hooked on this book and look forward to seeing where Marc takes this title and I think if it ever gets legs under it where there is no fear of "cancellation" or "low orders" it will REALLY take off because the creators will be freed up.

Awesome issue.Great fight.I love that she's still findin out about the hardware while using it.I do agree the venom thing seemed a little convinient,but it did serve to play up Dylan's past.Which is in itself very cool.

I think once we get to know Dylan better these little "convenient" explanations will be better understood as we come to know he doesn't throw things away; I wasn't aware of this, might have missed it, but as Marc develops the characters little things like this will be more easily understood.

I really wanna know where that staff of hers came from. It is really intriguing that she can do so many things and usually just finds out via spur of the moment.

The brining in of the other Manhunters is something that I'm insanely interested in reading. I think that for people who aren't getting the book yet, when they see their familiar Manhunters on the covers...hopefully they'll give it a look-see.

I haven't been disappointed at a single issue yet.
