hi! i love your dc stuff, and i noticed that you're a fan of martian manhunter. recently, i finished martian manhunter (1988), and ever since then i've been wanting to read more of him & get to know him better as a character. do you know any good j'onn comics you'd rec?
YES! And Martian Manhunter 1988 is fantastic to start off. I've made a list of my favorite Martian Manhunter stories before which I still agree with! I'll just add a few additions I've recently enjoyed:
Lazarus Planet: Once We Were Gods #1- Songs of Pain (written by Dan Watters and art by Max Dunbar)
A bittersweet short story. I love how this one showcases J'onn empathetic ability and even goes so far as to contrast his senses with Superman. The art is really pretty.
2. Final Crisis: Requiem (written by Peter Tomasi and art by Doug Mahnke)
J'onn's died many times in DC canon, but this one is the most brutal and emotionally impactful sendoff he's ever gotten. It's a great tribute to his history as a character.
As for getting to know J'onn, the character, more: the John Ostrander (+ Tom Mandrake as the artist) run is considered definitive by fans. I'm not the biggest fan of the writing and especially the art, but that run is where you get the most detailed J'onn origin story and a lot of what defined him.
I can also recommend Martian Manhunter 2006: The Others Among Us (written by AJ Lieberman with art by Al Barrionuevo). In this story J'onn finds a group of green martians and does whatever he can to protect them and discover the mystery of why they're here. The writing's okay and the art is fine. It just plays into characterizations I feel hold J'onn back from growing as a character.
If you want to read a really good Martian Manhunter one shot- I highly recommend Sons of Mars by the Wibowos! It's a reimagining of the Martian Manhunter origin with his brother Ma'alefa'ak, and it reinvents a lot of Martian lore in a new refreshing way while still paying homage to its history!
It's so weird how you can't find prints of this comic! Lucky for us, the whole story has been stored on tumblr.
Happy reading!!
