    This title so far seems almost completely disconnected from the rest of the Absolute Universe, with a gonzo sci-fi vibe that doesn't match the other titles at all. But as long as it's this good, I can't imagine anyone else quibbling with that. Read Full Review

    KPB Comics - Phillip Creary Dec 24, 2025

    Absolute Martian Manhunter #7 is a brilliant return to form. It is trippy, grounded in emotional failure, and it expands the mythos in a way that makes you realize we've only scratched the surface of what this Absolute reality is capable of. Read Full Review

    I have faith in this creative team that they will continue the great work on the sophomore arc. The most visually impressive book on the market keeps the crown for the final weeks of 2025. Read Full Review

    It was four months ago that the series concluded its first major arc. Detective John Jones and his partner, a psychic entity known as the Martian, were caught up in a major battle with the Martians diametric opposite, the White Martian. The duo battled with White Martian and the unfortunate people it possessed, and thanks to John accessing his inner emotions, the Martian was able to push back against the White Martians influence with contagious empathy. But while things all seemed good, the White Martian lived on, now secretly inhabiting the body of Johns son, Tyler. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Theron Couch Dec 25, 2025

    Camp doesnt make it easy for new readers to jump onboard Absolute Martian Manhunter #7. But that isnt too far from how the series began. Camp asks a lot of his readers, and indeed Absolute Martian Manhunter #7, like every previous issue in the series, benefits from a repeat reading. Even so, Absolute Martian Manhunter #7 is captivating and the most visually stunning book on the shelf. Read Full Review

    Absolute Martian Manhunter is back with another banger of an issue, though this one is more about catching up, setting up and getting back into the vibe. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Dec 24, 2025

    Absolute Martian Manhunter #7 is a comic that mistakes obscurity for depth and padding for substance. The issue opens with genuine promise, suggesting a character study of trauma and institutional alienation that could resonate. However, it quickly pivots into abstract dialogue that communicates nothing, murky artwork that obscures rather than illuminates, and a narrative structure that feels designed to confuse rather than engage. For readers picking up this issue expecting narrative progression, character development, or even basic coherence, this comic fails on every level. Read Full Review
