The Hunter is about Gabriel Mot, a CIA agent with extraordinary powers. He's tasked with finding those responsible for coordinated attacks on America, and reveals a hidden world of dark beings with tremendous destructive powers. Series One of The Hunter was published in four issues between December 2007 and January 2009.
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. In Houston, a man called Masubi makes a delivery to the Benzoil Refinery, and in New York, a woman known as Reshef joins a group that is being taken on a tour of the .
A CIA agent is suspicious of Ammut when he spots him at LAX, but intense security checks find nothing. As the agent confronts Ammut, all four locations are attacked. 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. His call sign is the Hunter. Gabriel is in Afghanistan when the attacks take place, and is on the trail of a powerful arms smuggler known as Arian. Working with CIA agent Dexter Johnson, Gabriel tracks Arian to an arms deal, but Arian escapes in a violent confrontation.
