Absolute Martian Manhunter #2

[laughing_tree]

That was part of my pitch, that maybe the DC Universe J'onn felt a little bit in between alien and human, in a way that wasn't a positive for the character, that wasn't a positive for readers. Where he is a little too alien to be relatable to, and maybe a little too human to really be awed by the alienness of him. And so that's part of why I separated the two characters and made John Jones a human being that we can relate to, and make the Martian this really strange alien consciousness that that has strange ideas that maybe that are not so relatable to us, and that's okay, because they're not really relatable to John either, and John's our way in and through John, hopefully we'll come to see whether those ideas are palatable or not. -- Deniz Camp

... I kinda like this, tbh.

I really hope the marriage improves before the series ends, it's making me sad

Kind of feeling shades of Shade from this.

Opening the tab to look at this post, I misread the title on the cover as "Martha Manhunter."

Now I want to see that.

Same. I've been saying this feels more Early Vertigo than Absolute, and Shade is exactly what I'm thinking of when I say that.

I'm enjoying the art at least. Not sure what exactly is going on in the rest of this but the art is nice and crisp.
