Martian Sightings for June, 2013



Martian Manhunter
DC COMICS – THE NEW 52 MARTIAN MANHUNTER ACTION FIGURE
Martian Manhunter is a stranger to Earth, but not to justice. Straight from the pages of DC Comics–The New 52 comes the newest member of the Justice League of America!
* Action Figure * $24.95 US • On Sale July 2013
*Allocations May Occur
I can't believe we're at the point of $25 action figures. I'll likely buy one though, because it's darn spiffy. I hope artists use it as reference to keep things like the chest emblem straight. All that purple makes me wish the dark blue variation from early guest appearances had stuck, though.

How did I miss J'onn's cameo in the GLC? I'm slipping.

Every time I see Phantom Stranger on a cover these days or hear "Trinity War," I kind of want to go cry in a corner.

I might look into that Team-up book, though...that's something to look forward to. Glad they collected that.

The Starlin issues were the best, and all but one are in here. It's got the goods.
