Orlando's script and Rossmo's visuals work together in perfect harmony, delivering one of the weirdest and most emotional comics you can pick up this week. Read Full Review

With Martian Manhunter #10, we head into the final act of Steve Orlando and Riley Rossmo's Martian saga, it seems destined to go down as one of the defining works of their careers thanks to its stunning visuals and in-depth characterization of its two main characters. Read Full Review

This whole issue is a true testament to the teamwork on display with Orlando and Rossmo. This wouldn't work as uniquely well as it does without them. I'm not even sure anyone else would have thought of doing this the way that they did. It was really cool to see the comics medium borrow some aesthetics from the gaming world. We see a lot of back and forth between comics and movies due to how similar they are, and I'm not at all trying to insinuate that this is the first time we've seen a comic implore some visual cues familiar to video games, but it was a nice change of pace and the perfect metaphor for what J'onn is going through and how he had to overcome it. Not to mention it was executed so well. Read Full Review

Riley Rossmo delivers some breathtakingly intricate and interesting visuals in this issue. The journey through J'onn's mind is filled with details that require you to pour over each panel over and over so you don't miss anything. Read Full Review

This Martian Manhunter series is not only a strong showing for the character, but a very well done story about identity and self love. Read Full Review

Martian Manhunter #10 hits a narrative skid this issue and is over-reliant on well-worn storytelling tropes to be truly effective. It's payoff isn't necessarily earned as a result, cheapening it as a reading experience. With only two issues to go, it hopefully isn't too late to recover before the big finale. It would be a shame if such an inventive, imaginative series were to end with a whimper instead of a bang. Read Full Review

Prelude:
Orlando recently turned me around on this series, so let's see how he goes on this issue.

The Good:
I loved the look into J'onn's fractured mindscape.

I enjoyed Rossmo's art here. It works for the story but it isn't something I would usually like.

It's nice to see Orlando have some fun with the mindscape idea.

The Bad:
We're not getting much progress on the Ashley/Charnn main story but I'm fine with it this issue.

Conclusion:
While little progress was made in the grand scheme of things, I enjoyed this issue and the look into J'onn's mind which Rossmo compliments with his pencils.

Steve Orlando continues to leave me dumbfounded by releasing a solid story.

The end of the fight within J'Onn's mind was a bit of a letdown, but I love the art and love the team of Jones and Meade. Can we keep her, and keep this longer than a year?

This went too fast and too simple, tbh. It needed way more to actually defeat any of these problems, I’m left feeling like I didn’t get a satisfying fix, just a fistfight.

I'm losing interest fast.
