3.5 stars "The futures so bright...I gotta wear shades." Fresh off binge watching Season 1 of Supergirl, I grabbed this from the library to find out more about J'onn J'onzz. This starts of well enough but takes a few weird turns from there.Basically, the Martian Manhunter was supposed to have been a weapon to wipe out humanity on Earth all along, and now his fellow Martians are coming to do it themselves. To ensure his own survival, J'onn has split himself into several other "human" identities...

Equivalent to a shoulder shrug and a “meh.” Has some funny and cute moments but I just felt trapped in a graphic novel that felt too long but had no substance. That being said, I still kind of thought the ending left me wondering about the next volume. But I don’t think I can bring myself to keep reading.

As usual for books like this, the story and artwork were great, but the freaky visuals and profanity messed things up a bit.

????!!!!!?!!!?.......That pretty much sums up my reading experience.So, this is where good ol' MM was hiding. Judging by the League's costumes (bearded t-shirt man, armored no more visible skin woman, long blonde haired clean face man, and sleeveless cyborg), I can guess that this takes place after the second half of the new 52. (I think)So, the Martian Manhunter...Everything we know about him...Is...A...(view spoiler)[Lie?! (First review with a gif) (I could get used to this...) (hide spoiler)]...

It helps, sometimes, to begin with chapter one... I had sampled an issue and not seen the charm. I've always loved the character of J'onn J'onzz, especially spelling that name... and especially the run by John Ostrander & Tom Martian Manhunter: Son of MarsMartian Manhunter: Son of MarsMartian Manhunter: Son of MarsMandrake from the 1990s-early 2000s. Now, Williams take for the recent run has grabbed me. Williams effectively portrays several different personalities the Martian Manhunter lives wit...

An ingenious idea, at once hilarious and terrifying: what does a nervous breakdown look like for a race with stunning mental powers and an almost unlimited ability to shapechange? Even stranger and more PKD than you might imagine, is the short answer; the long version would involve spoilers, and struggling to explain the brilliance of Mr Biscuits, who is essentially J'onn reimagined as a drunk five-year-old version of the Eleventh Doctor. The only problem, really, is that the story is obliged to...

Not even sure what I just read?!! The plot was extremely convoluted, the art yo-yoed between "okay" and just plain ugly. Still not sure WTF that ending was supposed to be. And while the Mr. Biscuits persona was mildly amusing, even that couldn't save this one.

After all this time I'm still wondering why DC decided that for the New 52 it would be okay to leave the Martian Mahunter out of the Justice League and erase any role he had before Flashpoint. Such a waste of character.I started loving this, J'onn is a lovable character, and the first pages of this issue were beyond epic.But as the stories goes you lose the interest in it fast. It's easy to know what's going on, you know what is all about, but once the story got to it's highest peak it didn't mo...

Reviewing the whole series here, not just vol.1This series...had good intentions. Sadly I just don't think it works in the end. First of all, if you aren't already familiar with the character, do NOT read this, as it will be very confusing. As someone who is familiar with J'onn though, I still can't recommend it. The core concept of J'onn being split apart is an interesting start, but it quickly gives way to ridiculously overwrought (and yet somehow boring) plotlines involving amnesia, conspirac...

I received a preview eARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley.3.5 stars. The artwork was pretty wow, as in WOW! phenomenal. I really liked the way the characters were drawn by Eddy Barrows and company. From the title character J’onn J’onzz, aka the Martian Manhunter, to the cameo appearances by other members of the Justice League. The writing was pretty good too, especially with the character of Mr. Biscuits, who made me laugh out loud several times. The plot was a bit weird and j...

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. Pretty good story. I'll be interested to see where this one goes.

The lastest Martian Manhunter series was published under the "DCYou" initiative, and I'm trying to figure out what makes this "DCYou-ish". Most of the other DCYou books are inspired by indie comics with non-mainstream writers and artists (for the most part). Martian Manhunter's creative team have done a lot of work for DC, Vertigo, and Marvel. The art by Eddy Barrows and Diego Niogenes is pretty much DC's standard house style: good, serviceable, comic book art. Either way, this is a pretty damn

Possibly 1 star added for exceeding my expectations so well.I've long thought J'onn to be an underrated, underrepresented character, but could understand why DC didn't trust stories focused on him to sell as well. I wanted this book to be good in the way that so many formerly-D-list Marvel characters have soared to greatness in recent years. But I wasn't familiar with this creative team, and the cover and start seem boringly action-y, so I kept my expectations low.Epiphany turns into a charming,...

I love the big, sweeping splash pages. This artist has a good vision. (Not in the 20/20 sense. In the “big picture” sense. Well, he could have 20/20 vision; I don’t know. That’s just not what I meant.) And the new (new?) Wonder Woman costume is amazing! The storyline - quite a new take on the Martian Manhunter… Huh. His ghostly image reminds me of Dr. Manhattan. Was that on purpose? I may need to take this as my motto: “Hey, if you are going to burn your life down…do it in $£#&%£$ style.” And wh...

I didn't love it, I didn't hate it, so I landed somewhere in the middle.It was alright. J'onn J'onzz is one of those characters I get excited to see in a story. Whether it's in a Justice League setting, or the Stormwatch stuff, or even on awesome teams like *cough* Justice League United *cough*...I'm always happy to see his smiling green face.Because he's such a good guy, right? The voice of reason, the peacemaker, and the understated powerhouse of any team.Give it up for Martian Manhunter!*thun...

J’onn J’onzz is the Martian Manhunter, the last of his kind - or is he? J’onn discovers the shocking truth behind his origin and faces a terrible choice: save his adopted home, Earth, or resurrect his long-lost home planet, Mars? J’onn’s knocked around various titles for a good few years now appearing in New 52 titles Stormwatch, Justice League of America, and Justice League United (all turrible). It’s clear DC didn’t know what to do with the character even though most fans knew the solution for...

(Received from Netgalley for review.)For everything that's good in this book, there's at least one thing that's boring or overly convoluted or poorly written, which is quite a shame.Good: J'onn at the beginning of the book, Mr. Biscuits, J'onn's choice to try to protect his adopted world.Not good: A story that's fragmented between too many characters, weak characterization, characters making decisions that make no sense in the context of the story, and a plot that's more convoluted than complex....

Umm yeah so I was kind of excited to read my first MM solo comic...so yeah.. its bad.. and shit and confusing.Tbh I might seem harsh but the book is kinda confusing like it starts with MM going mad that something weird is happening, end of the world and all and fighting JL but also not and then doing something to kill himself but then we follow 4 people or multiple of them with some others to find that MM actually split himself because of some red rising or something and now they have to come to...

Martian Manhunter was first written in 1955. He's been in Crises, the Justice League International, all over space and time. But he has had few standalone series and I don't know why. He's an omnipotent super hero and the last of his kind from an alien planet. Sound like anyone who gets all the page time he wants?J'onn J'onzz is not alone. And the scenario is a prototypical Martian invasion of Earth mixed with body snatching disguised as worldwide fear-mongering terrorism. Telepathy goes a long
