>>154484566I love you, Jess
>>154484445Thanks anon.I expect thread replies will be a little low because it was storytimes early on the other thread. Still this was a really cool finale for the MM series. I liked the empathic final battle between Green Martian/John and White Martian/Tyler affecting reality proper from the psychic backlash, and basically wagering everything on whether a Father can empathise with his mute/impaired son.
I might read it. I left off on issue 6.
>>154484478Ah shitI liked this version of Baz, what a shame
>>154484566Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Thank you so much Anon. MM 12 was epic. Take the Tokyo page from the Manhunter 12, download it, and translate it from Japanese to English with Google lens. The background signs are legible, and plot relevant.
>>154484445>>154484362bridget is so fucking hot
>>154484478Here's hoping Baz somehow finds existence again in one of the lights
>>154484277Read it already in the other thread, but will do so again.
>>154484319>this is what Darkseid's idea of the Anti-Life Equation was all along>a doomsday conga-line
>>154484352Is 86 just a random absurd answer here, or does it have significance when it comes to Darkseid and the Anti-Life Equation?
>>154484273>two threads announcing double storytimes Why? Do you hate comics?
>>15448582086 is a slang for Kill/Murder/Execute.Like if someone says to “86” someone, or “he got eighty sixed” they mean Kill.It’s an old slang that we’re not quite sure where it came from.
>>154485820https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term)
>>154484434>Darkseid: the fuck was that?
>>154485881When your Strongest Soldier gets turned into a hippie with feelings.For being Darkseid’s evil universe he seems to be taking major Losses so far
>>154484456>>154484529Kind of fun to have Martian Mind****er and Demiurge Adventure Lanterns happen at the same time this week.
>>154484566Oops, nice going Jo.
>>154485844You mean one thread by some moron begging for a storytime who is stupid enough to think that storytimers get their issues from RCO and the actual storytime
>>154485904Serves him right. What did he think was gonna happen when he became the heart of existence. How well is that going exactly for things in the main DC universe, huh? Usually it involves having to put up with a lot of jobbing and other bullshit.
Great finale for AMM, agreed with the other anon. AGL is really hooking me in now with the agent and lantern stuff mixing so well this issue. I'm not so familiar with Green Lantern, Cruz is another one in the main universe, right? What's her deal?
>>154485341It's cool that she's back as this ghost form, at least. If she can come back every so often, I'll be happy enough with that
>>154484513That's a old ref
>>154484529>Bad Idea #0Hey, its from Martian Manhunter. Bad Idea #0 is Darkseid.
>>154484566Oh bruh
>>154485964shes the anxiety lantern and the one lingering remnant of forever evilbasically evil hal jordan got killed by sinestro and his ring went to her, shit happens and she becomes gl buddys with simon baz
>>154485930Both threads were titled as a combined storytime.Look:>>154484273>>154474566What gives? Wouldn't it also be better to isolate the finale of one of the few comics that /co/ likes?We didn't need that TADC thread that was spared by combining these.
>>154485904It makes sense. Even Superman can't control what happens in a universe, hell, he seems to understand enough that he should not force change and should instead inspire it in a few and let them handle the rest. It's too hard to be a godAlso can somebody post that one Wonder Woman panel about a bit of her being in him? It's reminiscent of this scene.
>>154486007Yeah, it's interesting to see them pick up different ideas like that. Makes one wonder if the Oracle has anything to do with Martian Manhunter.>>154486020Thanks anon, I can't wait to begin catching up on GL stuff once the DC Finests start pouring in. I'm seeing that Forever Evil is New 52 but with everything being connected, I can reach that eventually, too.
>>154484352>>154484356>>154484369>>154484419I’m a fan of how the series has portrayed telepathy. Not a “you will do as I command” power; the world around you changing for real if enough people see it as being that way.“What happens in your head also happens”
>gives power to the first fucking person asking for it>she's psycholollmao
>>154484356>>154485114Those I can make out/guess (Left to Right) are“Eternal hunger”Can’t see the pale one behind the clay statue“Open all night”“Promise”“Blood is Red”“The crack spreads”“The pain won’t stop”“The Music is madness”(Anime Tyler sign) “Lost Boy”“Free will”“Tomorrow never comes”“Nothingness is White”“Darkness is infinite”“Dance without meaning”
>>154484352Bruce, stop working on the funky math and get your ass to space to pull Jess's head out of her ass again!
>>154486263So deep.
>>154485864>>154485873Ah, of course. Thankyee.
>>154486273I hope so, cause I can barely figure out what’s happening most issues.
>>154483003Having reread it I came to the same conclusion. When John confronted the Martian with the idea he’s been Puppeting him his whole life for an Avatar, the Martian answered that they were ‘entangled’, and showed him that he was there/Bridget and others were there for all his life.When John reached out to his son and brought empathy to the White Martian it replied ‘entangled’ again and showed the White is made of the same stuff all life has.At the end John decides that people all can change eachother by empathy and environment, seems to imply the Martian was always ‘entangled’ with him that way.So he spurred him to the accident yes, but only as much as his wife and son and everyone else in his life spurred him to the accident.
>>154484298tummy bloated with evil
>>154484298>he's fatmmmfgh.,...,
>>154484277Supergreen.
>>154485864Does it now, dear?
>>154484333Isn't Darksied more like the Demiurge in the absolute universe than the devil?
>>154484529So who's the guy in the back there?
>>154484566So I think that just leaves Kyle left of all the Earth Lanternsand Alan Scott, but he is died in this universe
>>154484437I find it amusing Absolute Uncle Sam is an eagle man.
>>154486263My assumption is that since this is the aboskute universe, even the idea of "free will" is futile since the world is sculpted by darkseid, making the anti life equation different from the usual doomer type despair back then Also is it just me or does it see the colors of the green nartian when you look left from the green guy
>>154484452He went full irelia
>>154484513Hal confirmed absolute star sapphire.
>>154484402The Endless are coming.

>>154488750which is who?

>>154484566Looks like Jess lacks community spirit.
>>154487692I imagine him as Sam the eagle, the muppet.Anyway AMM was fucking great, loved the art start to finish. GL has kept me interested so far so let’s see where it ends up. Thanks op.
>>154484478Welp, Simons done for
>>154486144Read 4th Mansions and The Lathe of Heaven
>>154484333Thats what Ultraman said in Final Crisis about Mandrakk
>>154485820Crisis on Infinite Earths
What made Martian Manhunter so interesting is how different it was from the regular character. I mean hell, in this John Jones is an actual separate character with a wife and kid. The other Absolute titles should follow suit.
>>154486021Who even started these retarded joint storytime threads? Don't they realize they just kill discussion when you mangle up different series like that? Then again/co/ went crazy about rco going down so storytimes are just there for retards that can't read on their own.
>>154490500Who the fuck cares, shut the fuck up
>>154484566Giant Naked Hot Jessica Cruz, God Bless Ewing!Now gib naked jo again
>>154490805Die, you retarded cancerous fucking retard.

I did not understand what happened in MM. Somebody please spoonfeed me.
>>154485312It's true, she can get it
>>154491800a cop learns what empathy is and reconnects with his family set to the mental apocalypse as caused by the thing darkseid is looking for
>>154491975Well that's the central thesis of the whole series, isn't it? I got that. I didn't grasp the sequence of events in this final issue. Didn't their son die from poisoning then stay animated via possession from the White Martian? idk I'm gonna have to read the whole thing again from the beginning. Thanks.
>>154491800White Martian has taken John’s Autistic Mute son Tyler as a host.White Martian was spreading isolation to the universe, making people close off themselves mentally.Everyone becoming more egoistic/closed off was psychically destroying reality.Bridget and Green Martian cured John’s depression by showing him understanding.John (Green Martian’s avatar) reaches out to Tyler (White Martian’s avatar) for the first time instead of avoiding him.Manages to empathise with Tyler for the first time, and sees Tyler’s resentments of him.Understands that Tyler isn’t “dead” like Desper-0 said, but he’s closed himself off to him.By approaching Tyler and showing him Love, Tyler opens up to him again.White Martian - entangled with Tyler - opens up as well. No longer closed off, it leaks its colors from inside and spreads as the same emotions Green Martian/all people are made of.
>>154492031I appreciate it, anon. I'll reread this finale with this in mind, and as well like I said, I'll probably read the series from the beginning again. I'm also gonna read the current Catwoman and Harley Quinn from the beginning in anticipation for Bad Seeds. Wish me luck.
>>154492081>I'm also gonna read the current Catwoman and Harley Quinn from the beginning in anticipation for Bad Seeds. Wish me luck.Nigga no, don't do that to yourself
>>154492143I mean, I've pretty much kept up with all of All In. If I'm keeping up with all of the Batbooks I figure I may as well check in with the rest of Gotham. I figure if Quinn's book has gone on for this long it may have something to it. I've enjoyed Ivy's current book. I'm gonna do it.
>>154491999Desper-0 claimed he ate a “poisoned choco” and died months earlier, during the attacks on their home when his Dad wasn’t there to help them.the White Martian used the choco as a medium to infect him.In this issue they really clearly say that he didn’t literally “die”, just that Martians have a different idea of what death is. For them personality change also means death.Seems he was saying, Tyler being possessed by the White Martian/Closing himself off from his Father is what “Killed” him to John. Like he’s “Dead to John” now because he no longer feels anything for him.
>>154492191Yeah, I've got to read it from the start again. I love surrealism in fiction, but spread over a year and a half, I seem to have lost the plot a bit. Thank you.
>>154484445Got I hope we get more AMM. THanks for the storytime!
>>154490444>tripsI think that's one of the points of the book: if you can feel every single thing a person has ever felt in their head, are you a different person then them at all?
>>154488639Simon was traumatized by a past event and can't bear to see his face again.
>>154488072Why? The pink construct?
>>154490500It's the X-FagsGo bother their storytimes and never come back
>>154492687It's over
>>154484356>>154484437The eyes and the helmet got me thinking of Ares. He hasn't shown up in Wonder Woman. I could see them using him in Martian Manhunter.
>>154493561Ares is showing up in the August issue for AWW, going by the solicit cover
>>154490805I care too. Why are you okay with this?
So Absolute Green Lantern keeps sucking
>>154493905Should've had literally anyone else as the protagonist and anyone else as the main artist
>>154484366nigga dabbin
>>154484445its kinoI wish I had a dad
>>154484445>>1544846497/10 series overallwould be 9/10 but even though Tyler was the final opponent, they didn't actually show enough of their relationship beforehand. A lot of it is told just now through flashbacks.
>>154484478OH MY GOD
>>154484566sex with jessica cruz
>>154490009>4th MansionsKINO
Personally I think one of AMM's strengths is that the abstract nature of it inherently makes it hard for it to directly crossover into the other series, insulating it from the awkward hits to pacing those can cause.
>>154490444>>154494513That's one of the things I resent about it the most. This could have been an original comic.
>>154494239The main artist has barely done any of the interior of the issue since the end of the first arc
>>154494561You sound boring and dumb.
>>154494631Cool, still not reading AGL
>>154484478Even a nigger fears himself.Based Darkseid.
>>154494697Did you just do a hecking racism in our wholesome storytime thread? Wtf?
>>154494730it's ok anon this isn't Absolute Batman
>>154494637That makes so much sense, capesheep.
Dark-side is.
>>154494730It was not racism, it was a joke.
>>154484445I feel like that one orc but stupider.I just don't get it man.Absolute MM is too esoteric for me.
>>154494996really?
>>154484273Just got my physical copy. Great ending, reminds me of Sandman's funeral from that book, I doubt anyone would ever cite that as an influence now though lol.I guess he's still out there in the absolute universe running a detective agency now, that's nice, maybe they'll have him cross over into one of the other books.
>>154494631And yet the art still sucks
>>154494631That explains why I started liking the book a lot more after the first arc at least.>>154494631I think the protagnist is pretty well developed, maybe she isn't as big a draw as Hal or whatever but Martian Manhunter has a lead so far removed from the source that it barely matters and no one complains about that.
>>154494239This has been gas, wym
>>154485864Easy mistake to make but that's actually "Deep six", old mob slang. 86 is diner slang for removing something from an order. You deep six a rival mob member, you 86 the onions on a sandwich.
>>154484445Took me too long to see the White Martian poking through.
>>154490500Not sure. Whoever was doing the storytime just randomly decided to combine them. It fucking sucks.
>>154484445Haha white martians head is peeking from that left corner
>>154494420Happy to meet a fellow ball knower.
>>154500015What's somewhat worse is that almost everyone is okay with it.
Thanks for the storytimes, OP. Can't wait to see AMM in an oversized hardcover some day
