I feel like Absolute Martian Manhunter was so ridiculously good that it kinda fucked up Martian Manhunter as a characterLike I do generally prefer the way J'onn typically is in DC even if I think a lot of ideas here are really cool, but I imagine a lot of writers will want to integrate this stuff into him
>>154857617What is the appeal other than the art?
>>154857748The idea of taking a psychic character and have him purely exist in the cognitive space is a really really cool idea
>>154857764Not to be a smug bitch but aren't there many other examples of that like Dream from Sandman or other stuff like that?
>>154857951NTA but its precisely because this kind of weird symbolic cognitive fuckery hasn't really been done on this level since 90s vertigo and even then its in the top tier in terms of presentation and execution
>>154857617Sometimes there's bleed over and the main universe will start to be like the spin off. Just look at what happened to 3 out of 5 of the members of Nextwave.
>>154857617I mean right now a lot of people prefer Absolute WW over mainline so...
It's the best rendition of a psychic character that I'm surprised Marvel has never even done anything close to it despite their boner for telepaths.
>>154858209>It's the best rendition of a psychic characterIs it?
>>154857617I should finish this.
>>154858209You mean like the Shadow King? The villain psychic that exists on the astral plane and preys on telepaths?
>>154857617>that it kinda fucked up Martian Manhunter as a characterHow can it do that when he’s basically a glorified B-lister with no real ability to sustain a title of his own so he almost exclusively shows up on Justice League comics as a secondary character?
