This story-arc is going to fill us in on the often wondered, but never told, true origin of Jonn Jonzz. And how he came to Earth. Although, I have to wonder why, with all these Year1 mini-series popping up, they didn't do this story in one of those. I guess, probably, because of the Justice League connection. Anyways, with this issue, we also get to welcome Rick Leonardi back to the world of comics. But this time it looks like he'll be doing it on the DC side of the fence, rather than the Marvel side. But whatever, it's just good to see him back in the books. This issue basically tells how the Martian world ended, and how it affected Jonn. It also takes us all the way back to his childhood. That's where he performed a telepathic Martian ritual where family members, in this case his brother, share a bit of their mind with each other. That way they're always a part of each other. Which explains who he's talking to when he goes back to visit his homeworld. He's talking to the memories of his long dead brother. We also see his first appearance in Metropolis, and how Luthor was there to try to turn the anti-Martian sentiment against him. But that's always his way, isn't it? Next issue he's off to meet the rest of the Justice League. Great story by Justin Gray. I guess he didn't need Jimmy Palmiotti to help him on this one. And as I said it's good to see Rick's work back in the books again.
