I was not expecting this book to be nearly as creative or spectacular as it was, but it's maybe the best example of how the Absolute Universe is showing off DC at its best. Read Full Review
With the issue marking the halfway point in the miniseries, Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 strikes an unexpected tonal balance, using its grim atmosphere to offer glimpses of hope, reaffirming the Absolute imprints recurring theme that the human spirits ability to connect can endure even the harshest manipulation. As a result, Camp and Rodrguez deliver a chapter that operates simultaneously as a deeply human character study and a bold experiment in how comics convey ideas. So, thanks to its striking visuals, philosophical depth, and emotional weight, Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 is a triumph of storytelling craft. Read Full Review
The Absolute Universes most unlikely duo brings forth a last stand for the ages with this chapter. Camps writing takes readers on an unforgettable ride. Rodrguez & Otsmane-Elhaou craft fantastic images that lock in on the mental and physical tolls taken in this matchup. This series has been nothing short of sensational. Dont miss it! Read Full Review
Absolute Martian Manhunter Issue 6 is a terrific reward in this world of weirdness. The abstract makes the mind soar, but the guns and physicality keep the story grounded as much as possible. Read Full Review
Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 is a brain-melting (and possibly thought-provoking) conclusion to the current storyline, but it kicks the door for the next chapter wide open. If it's an absolute trip you're looking for, this is it. It's sheer madness, but it wears that madness well. Read Full Review
Thrillingly beautiful and delightfully metaphysical, Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 tips all the simmering tension of previous issues into a boiling conflict. Read Full Review
The first story arc of Absolute Martian Manhunter goes out with all sorts of bangs, exactly as one has come to expect with this title. The storytelling, artwork and, especially, the coloring are next level comics. Read Full Review
Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 is an absolute train wreck. What it lacks in a coherent plot it tries to make up for in a baffling artistic style and overly philosophical dialogue. It's a frustrating read that feels like a bunch of random ideas thrown together on a page. The narrative is so scattered that you'll have no idea what's happening or why it matters. Don't waste your time trying to make sense of this one. Read Full Review
The first arc ends on a perfect cliffhanging note, following a showdown between good and evil that plays out on multiple fronts. The people of the city, the Martian, John, his wife and his son are all waging a war against evil in this finale, and not everyone escapes unscathed. I’m pissed that we have to wait until December for the series to resume!!
Best absolute series by far
Can't wait for the next arc
Peak, great ending to this first arc.
Honestly, I think it was very sensible of Deniz Camp to take the concept of "What if there was a DC world which was naturally weighted towards darkness and evil?" and ask the follow-up question: "What if that's closer to the world we, the readers, live in?".
The answers are compelling.
I’m convinced people just dick ride this book to make themselves feel like they’re in on something. Aside from the art this whole series was empty.
