Writer Brian Michael Bendis Planning A Kate Spencer Manhunter Rebirth In Superman Family Title(s)? What About Delayed Mark Shaw Manhunter Debut?

CB reports:

      Marc [Andreyko] is the writer of Supergirl, which comes right out of some plot threads that we laid down in The Man of Steel #5 and #6. He’s working with my dear friend, Kevin Maguire, so it’s two dear friends that I’m so excited are having such a good time working together. They were friends that didn’t know each other, and now they know each other, and I knew they’d love each other, and they do, and it’s fun to watch….Marc literally just stands there and stares at me and goes, ‘Bring Manhunter back, bring Manhunter back,’ so we’re working on Manhunter. Somehow, some way, Manhunter is finding her way into something.

Mark Andreyko brought Kate Spencer to life with artist Jesus Saiz in a short-lived run that began 2004 and ended in 2009 with Manhunter #38.

Will she show up in Andreyko’s post Man of Steel Supergirl series or in Bendis’ Action Comics or Superman series?

Interesting, I’m still waiting on the promised Mark Shaw Manhunter return from the Forever Evil event in 2013; Shaw was to be a U.S. Marshal not a lawyer like in his 1980’s series.

Two Manhunters, DC, please.
