Manhunter, Vol. 5: Forgotten by Carlos Magno, Michael Gaydos, Marc Andreyko
4.0
I'm going to miss this series. So much. It was never afraid to face issues of race, sexism, immigration, sexuality... you name it, really. Don't like politics in your comics? Don't read. But be aware that everything is about politics (pssst Batman hates guns).
I have to say, the standout moment for me was Ramsey's great-grandfather revealing to Ramsey that the puppy he'd bought for him was actually a cyborg. Instead of any preface, he just ripped off the dog's head. Classic. Buh-bye, childhood!
And buy-bye, this workhorse of a series. Managed to bring in a lot of the background DCU while still keeping its own West Coast, LA vibe. It's been real.
