After the last mission (issue #8-9), this month’s Hunter Killer is a much more sedate affair. There isn’t any killing, double crossing or explosions, well, apart from the ones that are a usual affair of Moringstar’s political games.

The main story here revolves around Ellis and the new character, Echo. A child of another ultra-sapien couple, Echo is the genetic opposite of Ellis i.e. while Ellis is a ‘receiver’, Echo ‘broadcasts’. Anyways, whatever that coupling will entail, both Ellis and Echo fall for each other, hard and fast, and just in time too. Not too happy about her charge pulling a disappearing act, Samantha Argent tracks him (and Echo) down, complete with an armed to the gills contingent in tow.

On his second issue, after opening with the last one, artist Kenneth Rocafort seems to be finding his footing. Although the characters still seem a bit odd as compared to their earlier depictions because of Rocafort’s slimming them down a bit (especially the faces of the female characters), the detailing, as extensive as the previous issue, takes cares of that. What doesn’t quite work still is the coloring. Although acceptable enough on their own, the colors of issue, aren’t quite as striking the ones before, and that includes last month's issue (with colorists Steve Firchow and Studio F)

Conclusion: What is the deal with Morningstar’s lady friend? I suspect that maybe she is playing the player i.e. Morningstar. Looking forward to the answer to this mystery.

RATING: 7/10
