This issue wraps up the Martian Manhunter mini-series. It was . . . ok. It just wasn't my cup of tea. Basically Jonn gained everything . . . and nothing. First of all he showed the world the bastard that Keane was. Of course he had help from Rio. She provided him with all the proof he needed. But in accepting it, he had to let her walk away, " . . . this is how the world works. You give something, you get something." He also found Till'all, and talked some sense in to him. They form an uneasy alliance, but as the story progress' they begin to trust each other more and more. He also finds out that the one behind all this, the one that brought the White Martians here, the one who was a Green as he . . . . was Sara. Well actually, she calls herself Cay'an. And she's a Green bitch with some attitude. And a pretty nifty costume too! Meowww! Sorry . . . but . . . she's hot. Well . . . except for her head. Anyways, she blames Jonn for the destruction of their homeworld, and for all the loved ones she lost. She knows that it was actually Jonn's brothers fault, but, she feels that Jonn should have anticipated what was going to happen, and . . . . take him out. His unfortunate decision, is his crime. They lose Cay'an, but Jonn and Till'all continue to talk and work together. John even takes him to meet his friends in the JLA. Like I said, overall it was an ok series. I thought AJ Lieberman put together a pretty decent story. A little complicated in a few spots, but overall pretty decent. And the artwork of Al Barrioneuvo was pretty impressive. This is a guy, who I think, hasn't reached his full potential yet, and he's already pretty damn good. I also don't think he gets enough credit. I think this is going to be an artist to watch. The blurb kinda' hints that Jonn may be doing something with the Outsiders next. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
