All the Absolute books have a near-perfect fusion of story and art, in a way that's pretty rare to see in comics these days. It all comes together into a book that feels like it could have come out of the Golden Age of Vertigo, but with a superhero twist. Read Full Review

Love doesnt live here anymore. That is the message driven into readers as the Middleton heatwave sinks in. Camp pens an emotionally driven chapter with the writing. Rodrguez & Otsmane-Elhaou craft a visionary look at the chaos brewing with the art. Theres nothing like this experience on the shelves at the LCS! Read Full Review

Every page of this comic is a kaleidoscopic delight of nifty artwork, compelling storytelling and an industry-altering use of color. Read Full Review

A most bizarre story, balancing domestic drama with alien invasion, with the trademark visual madness of Rodriguez delivering a story that stands with the best of '90s Vertigo. Read Full Review

Absolute Martian Manhunter is sometimes difficult to review on an issue-by-issue basis because so much of its success comes from the visual style at work. What might be exceptional in any other series is instead as integral to Absolute Martian Manhunter as simple text is to every other book. That said, the emotion carried by John and Bridges encounter, both in vivid color and simple black and white, steal the show here, making Absolute Martian Manhunter #4 a must have in an already unmissable series.

best issue since #1. Wonderful.

The use of color, and the absence of color, is so critical to our understanding of the story unfolding in this issue. More masterful storytelling by this entire team, including the letterer. One particular sequence that is perfect is John’s ability to see tempers flaring all around him due to the white light of the White Martian, yet he can’t see his wife’s own explosive rage about to boil over right in front of him until it’s too late.

It's just John Jones and his wife talking, but Javier Rodriguez elevates the issue into a chaotic kaleidoscope of emotions. This may be my least favorite out oral the Absolute DC Series since it is so surreal and abstract, but I can't deny on how good this series is. I am interested in Deniz Camp after this

The visuals are great but the story is not interesting for me. I don't feel like I'm invested in the plot.

This issue worked better for me than the last. We finally get some character development and although I still have difficulties relating to John Jones, his marriage problems are a step into the right direction - maybe not for him, but in terms of making the reader care about the character.

Without the art the story is just flat.
