pena que no continuasen con la trama.
Haven't really had the time to read up on just Martian Manhunter alone. Often do I see him in other Justice League stories and never just him. He is a phenomenal character and this was a very good story.A bit odd at times but a really good read. C+
Was very impressed with this 8 issue limited series.Learned a lot about Martian Manhunter in this one and what makes him tick.He is a very unique character and i plan on learning more about him in the near future.
I have always adored the Martian Manhunter character and this book makes me adore him more. Aside from this character, I've never clung to such a sad and isolated character for so long, but his story always compels me to have hope that he won't stay alone. It is that hope that fuels this story of treachery and lies. As always, Jonn is able to overcome all the forces of evil that strive to keep him down, even when his so-called friends can't or aren't able to relate to him and help him. It is thi...
Oh J'onn J'onzz, when will they ever write stories worthy of your greatness? Until then your depths live only in my dreams, my darling, my love, my manhunter.

Great character, great new costume, great concept, that turned into a very normal story in the end.

This was my first Martian Manhunter book, so I have nothing to compare it to, which is good because then I can give an unbiased review as I see it. The story was interesting. I really liked it and will definitely delve into more MM stuff. This was the most important to me, and I find it to be worth 4-5 stars for that. HOWEVER. The artwork was okay at best. Some of the faces look really strange, especially Superman's. I just kind of stared because I could not believe that the art was this bad. Al...
I just finished this...and I avoided buying it for months because, everyone just kept bashing it, I'm glad I bought it. It was more plot intensive than some recent books I've read, but it was also dark. I beleive one reader I encountered said of this series, it was...a grumpy mini.This is not a lighthearted book, it's a downer. While J'onn is loaded with angst in this one, the plot devices are a bit too convenient to appreciate [sexy enemy Green Martian?]; the Justice League members being so uny...
For now, suffice it to say there is a dearth of stories starring the Martian Manhunter and I am a sucker for the big green guy. More later? Mayhap.
Having read some of John Ostrander's work on the character, I was not impressed by Others Among Us. Manhunter spends most of the story being a jerk. The Justice League spends most of the story being useless. The art is too hard to read. It's clear that Lieberman hasn't read other MM comics. If he had, he would know that having MM and the other Martians spend the whole story in their "true form" is the Martian equivalent of walking around naked.However, the plot twist was pretty well done. The st...
I found the artwork to be somewhat muddy. The story, for the most part was fair to middling. There were some moments where I felt that the Manhunter acted out of character. The saving grace of the whole story was the ending.
So, if you're a comic book writer, and you can't tell the difference between 'your' and 'you're' that's insane, and it happens twice. Plus I can't understand how the Justice League got so unhelpful.
