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
