This series might not be for everyone, because Orlando and Rossmo do not skimp on the horror, but it's one of the most inventive series in the DC stable right now. Read Full Review

Riley Rossmo's art is fantastic. There is a fluidity to the action and the characters that helps to move the story both thematically and physically. Read Full Review

The search for the missing Ashley Addams is finally right at the center of the story where it needs to be. Orlando and Rossmo have found the pulse of the action as the mini-series reaches the beginning of its second half. With all of the establishing action well and fully out of the way, the mini-series should have no problem finding its way to resolution with a strong sense of momentum.  Read Full Review

The series is scheduled as a 12-issue maxi-series. It could easily return as an ongoing, or as a second series. I'm fine either way so long as the storytelling retains the high quality established here. Read Full Review

Martian Manhunter #7 was a lot more tense than I was expecting, and was a different pace and tone in comparison to the other single issues. This is one of my current favorite series on comic shelves as we speak, and it's brilliant to see them continuing to push forward so confidently with each issue. Read Full Review

Another great chapter in the series, more reveals, more mystery and some great body horror. Read Full Review

All in all, this is a solid issue, featuring clear, straightforward storytelling with, for the most part, tightly controlled dramatic beats, and some effective and engaging characterization. Rossmo's art is mostly excellent and delivers some real impact during action sequences and this issue's big horror reveal. The excitement tails off a bit towards the end of the issue, but this is nevertheless interesting stuff.  I was down on this book in its first few issues, but this is much better. Read Full Review

This issue maintains the quality of the series so far and is worth reading for any fanof Martian Manhunter. Read Full Review

This was a bit of a slow issue (I hesitate to use the term "filler," but... well...), as Steve Orlando struggles just a bit to keep the narrative momentum up now that his flashback scenes are concluded. It's still a solid and utterly unique read, though; here's hoping that the miniseries' remaining installments are able to regain the slack from this issue's slow exhale. Read Full Review

Great storytelling, start to finish. The dynamic between Meade and J'Onn is amazing, so much so that I would rather have an ongoing about them than see J'Onn get wrung out in Justice League.

I was with you right to the end, comic.

This was good, I was actually invested in it. Gotta say though, an issue about Meade and the real John Jones is not something I'm interested in. But I'll give it a shot.

Steve Orlando delivers some actual action and character development in this installment of the 12-issue maxi-series. Riley Rossmo's art is as expected -- trippy, more cartoonish than real.

I can't say as it was my favorite issue, but Orlando deserves credit for using dialogue not just to belabor expository notes but to actually engage in action. DC's books of late are increasingly getting crushed by the weight of their own exposition. I don't mind a little backstory, but the books do need to move forward at some point. Orlando does that.

John and Meade lead a raid on a pig farm in the hopes of rescuing Ashley Adams and discover much, much more...dipping into more of a horror genre, something not entirely expected but not beyond Rossmo's skills. John also has to slip into his J'onn J'onzz persona to win the day, setting up an interesting conversation with Meade.

It's not a great book, but it's a solid book. more
