Martian Manhunter
MARTIAN MANHUNTER: SON OF MARS TPWe're getting a new book. This is only the second time a full color Martian Manhunter trade paperback has been published for the U.S. market, following 2007's The Others Among Us mini-series collection. Even the second and final volume of Showcase Presents: Martian Manhunter dropped the month after his murder in Final Crisis. It's S.O.P. Hopefully, I like that series better than this one, which began to routinely infuriate me with the issue immediately following those collected in this trade. "Son of Mars" is a cute play on Jemm's presence and production history, and all the best issues not involving Chocos or DC One Million are here. I'm hopeful we'll get "Malefic" and the various Mandrake illustrated bio/origin/pin-up pages from this period, as well.

These tales from MARTIAN MANHUNTER #0-9 begin as the Manhunter tells Superman how he came to Earth. In his guise as Detective John Jones, he tracks a serial killer and investigates a mystery at Cadmus Laboratories, then saves the Justice League from the threat of Malefic.
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #11Hey, Batman fans? How you doing? Listen, do you appreciate how much damage the CSA would have to have to have dealt to the Martian Manhunter for Clayface to survive 60 seconds against him? Anyway, Eddie Barrows draws a better Alien Atlas than Dave Finch, so hopefully he'll draw the spin-off series we're totally getting.

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA OMNIBUS VOL. 1 HCDuring the first year of this blog, I checked out the initial two Showcase Presents collections from the library and did write-ups for 30-odd issues of this series. They were pretty funny synopses in my humble opinion, but they were lost in a drive crash that I've given up all hope of ever recovering. The reason they were never published before that calamity is because I lacked color art for the prospective posts, which I could scan from glossy stock in this Omnibus. On the other hand, I found these seminal stories to be some of the dumbest comics I've ever read, and the thought of spending a c-note on them is troubling. Do I really want this crap on my bookshelf for the rest of my life?

JLA VOL. 4 TPLet's see: this volume collects "World War III," featuring one of the most badass Martian Manhunter moments in his publishing history. Then there's "Tower of Babel," one of the all-time greatest Justice League stories. In the middle, a forgettable Atom guest appearance, but an awesome collection all in all.

Speaking of comicvine, do you still use it?
ReplyDeleteNot as much since they stopped willingly offering linked images. Good for quick character reference, but I stopped editing wikis and offering images. Plus, their contributors have stolen anything they wanted that wasn't nailed down from this blog without attribution, including art I commissioned/edited/created.
