About the series
In this 12-issue DC series from 2019–2020, writer Steve Orlando and artist Riley Rossmo delve deep into the psyche of J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter, exploring his tragic past on Mars and his complex identity as a shapeshifting alien detective on Earth. The run reframes the character's origins with a cosmic horror-tinged, psychological bent, weaving through his memories of Martian society and his present-day struggles with belonging. It stands as a focused, character-driven take that redefines the Manhunter for a modern audience, emphasizing his alien nature and emotional depth rather than just his super-heroics.
