We're talking about a guy who writes what seems like 40 comic book reviews a week. It's not like he spends enough time with these stories to actually deeply think about them. Does he not have much going on in his life? How could anyone possibly pump out this much review material? If he reviewed only five books, I would probably take his reviews a little serious.

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Dec 24, 2025This 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

Dec 24, 2025The return to Middleton comes with heavy baggage and unsealed wounds for John Jones. Camp weaves in a painful lesson in relationship balance via the writing. Rodrguez's visuals are next level in giving this series a look and feel all its' own. Buckle in for what is sure to be another unforgettable trip in storytelling. Read Full Review

Dec 24, 2025Absolute 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

Dec 24, 2025I 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

Dec 24, 2025It 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

Dec 25, 2025Camp 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

Jan 14, 2026Getting back into the series after a few months away is welcome, and I think the gap is a positive overall since you're not overdoing it with the work. It's a series that definitely hits better in small doses, and to get the kind of quality out of it that the first six issues presented to be sure. Camp is definitely moving events forward while still holding onto the past, but that's not a surprise. There are intriguing possibilities ahead, but I'm admittedly more curious to watch as John tries to figure out his life with his family. Rodriguez just does amazing work here with the layouts and designs, and the wispy nature of the artwork combined with the color design is simply fantastic. It's the kind of thing that after decades of reading comics that scratches a rare itch to see being done and it resonates. Really good stuff that has me keen to see where this next storyline goes.

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Dec 24, 2025Absolute 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

This comic has been fantastic. Gabe Hernandez is like the herpes or hemorrhoids of comic book reviews. So annoying and will not go away for good. I've never saw someone who consistently writes negative reviews just to be different.

A refreshing return for this book sees the aftermath of the White Martian storyline come into play for both Middleton and John, who is now separated from his wife and living in a shitty motel, with his Martian companion worrying about his current state of being. The art is as perfect as ever while the writing takes a leisurely, yet compelling, pace as new plots are set in motion.

The hiatus makes it that there "needs" to be recap, but some of it goes directly against things we saw at the end of the first trade. The art is good, but certain things feel more like gimmicks than they did in the first six issues (ie: multi-colored wing sauce and noodles). The last 2 pages may be the best and most intriguing the series has had yet, but not much happens leading up to it. I know this will be one of those books that people will refuse to rate honestly even when there are obvious flaws in the pacing or narrative, but not much happened overall and some of the stuff that did was convoluted and confusing. It's up to you to decide if you trust Camp to come through by the end, but I'm not reviewing it at the end right now, I'm re more
