Writer: A.J. Lieberman
Penciller: Al Barrionuevo
Inker: Bit
Letterer: Travis Lanham
Plot: A secret government organizations has captured
and is using a Martian to learn more about the powers of
Martian Manhunter and how to better harness them for
military use. When the Martian escapes and the Martina
Manhunter learns how they have been treating someone from
his home world, he starts to question he starts to question
his previously held beliefs on the inherent goodness of
Earthlings.
Review: This is a pretty good way to start off a run.
Take someone as powerful as Superman and piss him off at the
people he has sworn to protect. What will he do? This first
issue is a nice glimpse into the mind of a superhero who is
sick and tired of trying to find the sunnier side of his job
and has finally been pushed over the edge. Al Barrionuevo’s
art is tight and adds a very somber mood to what I am sure
is going to get a lot angrier before it is all over. Pick up
this book and watch a pretty monstrous little badass go on a
rampage. It should be a fun little ride.
Special thanks go out to Jeremy Shorr, owner of
Titan Comics for allowing us to use his advance
preview books for review purposes.
