Absolute Martian Manhunter

by Deniz Camp, Javier Rodríguez

A weird, cerebral take on J’onn J’onzz that leans into horror, identity, and how alien loneliness really feels.

Geek’s cut

Comic-book storytelling with the density of a good tech spec: every panel doing double duty, every line of dialogue carrying lore, emotion, or both.

Deeper dive

Camp writes Martian Manhunter like a glitching empathy engine dropped into our world, and the book never lets you forget how wrong he is for this planet. It’s dense, unnerving, and exactly the kind of off‑center cosmic book you end up infodumping about to friends who “just like Superman.”
