Publication and Reception
Hamdy set out to create a superhero for the 21st century, and founded Dare Comics to publish The Hunter. Issue one was published in December 2007 and received largely positive reviews, with Ain't It Cool New's reviewer saying that he was "riveted to each page".
With the publication of the rest of the series, critical acclaim intensified with one reviewer saying that he could only "see good things coming from what may soon be referred to as a franchise." 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".
Commercially, the series was regarded as a success with over 130,000 readers reached worldwide through a combination of print and online distribution.
