Enjoyably story featuring DC'so favorite Martian. It was very plot driven, I have yet to read a light Manhunt error story yet and that's not a bad thing. Some plot twists kept the story moving. Nice art that enhanced the story as well.

This was my first Martian Manhunter book, so I have nothing to compare it to, which is good because then I can give an unbiased review as I see it.
The story was interesting. I really liked it and will definitely delve into more MM stuff. This was the most important to me, and I find it to be worth 4-5 stars for that.
HOWEVER. The artwork was okay at best. Some of the faces look really strange, especially Superman's. I just kind of stared because I could not believe that the art was this bad. Also, there were a more than acceptable number of grammatical and spelling errors. There are a lot of things I will excuse in the world, but I will not excuse the wrong usage of your/you're. If you're 12 or above, I expect that you will use it right. How a comic book got away with it, I won't know. But this caused me to knock of a star because that's just lazy writing.
The story is good; it's worth the read. But if you're like, the errors in the book will bother you. But I'd recommend it anyways.
