Martian Manhunter #2 - DC


Ok, the story is starting to come together for me. A few weeks ago, an amulet fell from space. The guy who found it, although altruistic, is also a conspiracy nut. So when someone from the Govt. shows up asking about the object they tracked, he clams up and pretends to not know what they're talking about. This gets his friend, who is there at the time, killed. Somehow Jonn finds out about it, I think through his telepathic report with all things Martian, and comes and talks to the guy and sends him off to England, where he says he will be safe. He's not though, because as soon as his plane takes off, someone blows it up. Jonn then finds an underground facility, where some of his fellow beings are being held. 5 to be exact. But, there are also 5 more empty suits. So the other 5 were tortured, or experimented on, or whatever. As they're trying to escape, the troops come rushing in, so Jonn has to cloak them all to hide their presence. This works, however, when in such close proximity of their captors, his fellow Martians use their telepathic abilities to take over the soldiers and make them shoot each other. This book is brought to us by A.J.Lieberman and Al Barrioneuvo. They're the same team that brought us the final issues of Batman: Gotham Knights. They work very well together, and the artwork in these issues is exceptional. Now I guess we'll see how the world handles 6 super powered Martians.
