The Hunter is a British comic book limited series created by Adam Hamdy, with art by David Golding.

He's tasked with finding those responsible for coordinated attacks on America, and reveals a hidden world of dark beings with tremendous destructive powers.

Issue #1 of The Hunter tells the story of Gabriel Mot, a CIA agent with extraordinary powers, and the start of his investigation into four coordinated attacks on America.

Issue #1 opens with a man called Ammut taking a taxi to Los Angeles International Airport.

The action shifts to a water treatment plant outside Boston, where the staff are fazed by a surprise inspection carried out by a man called Erys.

Ammut detonates a nuclear bomb at LAX, Erys taints Boston’s water supply, Masubi destroys the refinery, and Reshef launches a chemical attack at the NYSE.

The President and his advisors respond to the emergency by calling on Gabriel Mot, an undercover operative who possesses superhuman powers.

Back home, another member of Gabriel’s team, Loni Mickelson, visits a hideously deformed informant known as the Freak.

Gabriel is ordered to Russia to a secret facility in the Urals, where the CIA believes a clandestine genetic engineering programme has been restarted.

When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, the Colonel in charge of Project Svetovid became Russia’s first capitalist and sold the Sleepers to the highest bidders: criminal gangs and terrorists all over the world.

Rykov realized the terrible destructive force he has unleashed upon the world and is determined to hunt down and destroy every Sleeper in existence.

Loni and Dexter are tortured in an attempt to get them to confess their treachery, and Gabriel is placed in a Baryogenesis chamber, where his atoms will be ripped apart in order to kill him.

Working from Freak’s underground lair, the team piece together the evidence and learn that someone has infiltrated the government and is trying to get rid of Gabriel.

Loni and Freak infiltrate the main facility, while Dexter and Gabriel break into the nuclear reactor that generates power for the whole base.

He learns that Tomsky’s plan to trigger World War started with the attacks and culminates with the assassination of the President during the State-of-the-Union address.

"[5] Ain't It Cool News called the series "pretty darn distinct and special" and applauded the Freak as "one of the cooler new characters to grace comics in recent years".
