I just finished it yesterday and I have to respectfully disagree. So much philosophical word salad that went on and on and on. Just not what I was looking for storywise. I will give an A+ for the artwork.
Yeah that's fair. I can see the writing not landing with a lot of people since the whole method of storytelling is so disorienting. I may just be the target audience lol

By no means am I saying that superhero comics can only be good guy vs. bad guy. But in the case of this particular title there just seemed to be no story. Just random poetic, philosophical phrasing that got really tiresome for me. It's so rare to see a solo Martian Manhunter title. And I'm just disappointed that this is what they did with it.
