The art is ok, nothing overly impressive. I've seen way better. The writing on the other hand...shockingly bad. I went to the london comic-con a while back and I saw the writer giving a talk, for someone so sure of himself, he's writing lacks something. READABILITY!!!

I read these books recently on the net after visiting the London Con a few weeks back.

Pros: Anyone who likes fast paced stories will love the way these books flow... the don't slow down for a second!
The fundemental idea for the story is a good and much more can be built on. The characters have huge amounts of potential and look smashing.
The covers for the books are really cool.

Cons: These books are very very predictable! I zoned out of the story a few times and just began flicking throught the art work... and found I could still follow what was happening because the story was that easy!
CHEESE! And lots of it! cheesy cliched lines and set ups all over the place!

...The art starts out extremely ridgid! but slowly relaxes as the books progress. The action never really explodes!

As a first go, these guys have done well. It's definetely not the worst comic out there, but so much more could be done with it.

I read part of the first of the hunter series last year and I have to say it was a bag of shite!
The story seemed rushed and way too cliched! Your token baddies and goodies were all there - which is fine! But nothing about this story was any different from any other. I didn't even bother reading on, I picked up a copy of harry potter and was done with it.
I want by 5 bucks back!!

I completely agree! the cover art is spot on, very nice and crisp, just the right amount of touching up.
the inside art: slightly manikin like! which is quite suprising, as I am familiar with David Goldings work and he has some outstanding pieces... i think the use of photoshop and heavy colour hampered the art.

The story is loose! no real care has been taken in introducing the characters and they're all cliched! An effort has been made to grab the readers attention straight away with the terrorist attack and from then it just feels messy! a shame considering the story and characters have imense potential if handled better. more fluidty with the art work and less time watching the hallmark channel for the writer!

I have recently read these 'Hunter' books on the net.... aaaand, well, i wasn't impressed!
The story is dull... terrorists, one group of beings that can save the earth... consiparcy that goes all the way to the top!... blah blah blah! this is like a bad movie, one of those you start watching and then only continue to watch because you made the effort to watch in the first place!

The art work is really stiff, the lines are bold and backgrounds standout as strongly as the characters do in nearly all the panels. There's very little dynamic movement.

With a few tweaks here and there this could be an awsome story... a more energetic, cared for style of art would make this a winner. lets see what these guys do next!

Here is Golding's website. Seems he's done a a bit of comics work.
