Daniel X: Alien Hunter: A Graphic Novel

by James Patterson

With an exciting new Patterson narrative in a graphic novel format, Daniel X continues his quest in a full-color, action-packed adventure! Long ago, after his parents' brutal murder, Daniel inherited the coveted List of Alien Outlaws and assumed his father's role as Alien Hunter. With his supreme abilities, like being able to shape-shift and conjure up long-dead family members out of thin air, Daniel is ready to take on the scum of the universe. Number 7 on the list--grand-master of an interplanetary game of destruction that could result in the eventual take-over of earth--is his next target. In a journey that takes him through the bowels of Tokyo and into other realms, Daniel ingeniously tracks the insectile mastermind. But when #7 reveals his true and terrifying powers, Daniel must enlist the help of #7's own son before he finds himself at the center of the most high-stakes game yet.

Daniel X is an Alien Hunter. Number 7 is the Multitude, an alien organising a bounty hunter game. Daniel uses his powers to fight the muiltitude, but the Multitude is a powerful enemy. Daniel has himself and his powers of creation behind him, his powers allow him to create both friends and weapons to help him.

It's not a bad story, the illustration was somewhere between traditional graphic novel and cartoon and looked fairly computer generated, the story was pretty predictable and the character was a little too powerful and lacked a certain something to make me relate or empathise. I'm giving this series another chance with one of the written books rather than an illustrated book.

Not bad, just not stand-out.
