Martian Manhunter, Vol. 1: The Epiphany by Rob Williams

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


A good first issue or first collection should be very welcoming for new readers. It should be a good jumping on point. This is not a very good first collection.

The book is puzzling. It's trying to be mystifying, profound and mind-bending. Instead, the story is disorienting, and unpleasant. The book spends a lot of time focusing on the issue of What the Martian Manhunter is that the who is very quickly lost in the shuffle. Plot wise, the end of the book should have felt like a great cliffhanger that made me want to pre-order the next volume. Instead, this leaves me cold.

Overall, fails to give a good judgment to a great character and that's a shame.
