First of all I have to admit that I've never been a huge fan of the Martian Manhunter. I liked him in the JLA, but that's all I really needed of him. This series may change that. We'll have to see. First of all it's brought to us by the team that did a long stint on Batman : Gotham Knights, Lieberman and Barrionuevo. These guys mesh together perfectly. Apparently there's a group, I wouldn't say Govt. because I don't think they are, however they do have some Govt. connections, that has captured a green Martian and are doing tests on him. They've had him long enough that they have him implanted, to keep track of him should they need it, and to develop a psionic weapon based on their technology. Both of which scare John Jonzz. In the Brave New World comic he had found the Kuru Pendant from his homeworld. That is what originally put him on this quest to find the being who had brought it, for it meant that he was no longer alone. Well the Martain breaks out of where he's being held into the streets of NYC. Scary even if you're from this planet. John finally catches up to him only to see him killed in front of him. Having read Lieberman's work in Batman, I know that this story is going to stretch out for a while. He likes to give us bits of information at a time, without giving up to much of the big picture. But, it'll be a fun, interesting ride. It's only a 6 issue mini, so we'll see how this one pans out.
