Any good comics star him?
Let me just read the minds of the biggest Martian Manhunter fans to find out which runs they liAUUUUUUUUUGH
Yes, the DCyou series is great and the dc rebirth 2017-2018 with rissomo is good.
Absolute Martian Manhunter drops tomorrow.
I have this run by John Ostrander I've been meaning to read, so that's a thing you could check out. Really your best bet is justice league comics
JlI
I have always thought there's a great J'onn story in the side effects of him being used as a commlink for the JL. Repeatedly brushing up against each of their psyches alters his behavior in subtle ways, and the more time he spends near a particular member, the greater that person's affect on him. It matches with all the huge personalities in the JL, like Hal's insane will and Bruce's paranoia. He's more interesting as a character than a powerset (although I suppose that should be true of everyone).

I read this recently, it's OK but it reads like dollar store Morrison. One particular plot point takes on a sinister sheen when you find out what the writer was convicted of.
Gerard Jones
Ohhhhhh…that smarks
why no one like martian man
He hunts men. I'm a man.
Yes.
The Looney Tunes crossover with Marvin is unironically one of his best comics.
boring design, literally just a bald green man
boring origin story, too similar to Superman, too close to Earth as Mars is no longer the place for pulp sci-fi fantasy as it was in the early 20th century
vague, undefined, boring powerset that is also too broad and too strong
boring personality
chump ass weakness with fire, makes for boring fights
no rogues gallery for his own
no supporting characters for his own except Miss Martian
no real plot hooks possible
despite his supposed strength, he is constantly jobbing
Just an overall boring cape guy with no direction. He feels like if you asked chatgpt to create a generic superhero.
He really is just Superman painted green with extra bullshit powers slapped on to give the illusion of him being original.
And then bitches cry that DCAU nerfed him by cutting down his superman-like powers and putting forth his unique ones.
I seriously doubt anyone even noticed or cared.
The John Ostrander solo series is pretty good.
Yep
American Secrets.
Just Superman
They drew from the same zeitgeist but, put simply, one was Action Comics, the other was Detective Comics. Superman was the all-American raised to embody American ideals, who went out there and was out-in-the-open and inspirational.
J'onn was the weird-as-fuck alien whose sheer strangeness accidentally triggered a heart attack in the first human he met&befriended (the scientist that accidentally brought him to Earth). J'onn's powers were less "awe inspiring coolness" like Superman's, and more just plain creepy, but better suited for Detective shit. He read minds, he passed through walls, he shapeshifted.
The Silver Age being the Silver Age he got shoved more into a Superman-shaped hole with time, then was pulled back out as more sensible writers realized they didn't need two Supermen, and making J'onn's stories more pulpy and weird worked better.
it's OK but it reads like dollar store Morrison.
Every time someone makes a nonsense comparison like this, acting like Morrison is on some high pedestal, I remember Dare.
Absolute Martian Manhunter just dropped, pretty cool first issue. I can't wait to see where it goes.
It's not as good as Absolute Flash
Why?
why no one like
i like MM, but i do think he could look better in a much different costume and a different form of himself
Like, he could turn into a gigantic, pulsating penis that flies out from the walls, hits you in the face then disappears. How on earth the supervillain would be taken seriously ever again if he tried telling it anyone?
we can disagree
i like MM, but i do think he could look better in a much different costume and a different form of himself
Any example?
Like Mara from Shin Megami Tensei?
I like his costume
Nta, but I like his black suit he wears in YJ and a couple of other places. Just make either the pants or boots blue and it’d be perfect for me.
I don't know weebshit.
