This had a very convoluted plot and didn't have enough of the actual Martian Manhunter character in it, in my opinion. It had some interesting parts and good art, and I liked Mr. Biscuits, but overall it didn't make me feel invested in the story.

I picked this up because I liked the version of Martian Manhunter that I have seen on the Justice League. Granted I had never gotten his origin story before so I don’t know how close to the original one this one is but I really didn’t like it. I tried to like it and parts of the character that I liked from before are here but not enough to make me want to read the anymore of this version of the character.

Almost everything this book accomplishes could probably be two issues - one for Martian Manhunter's sacrifice that occurs early on in the book, one for the rest of the plot here. Then the remaining four could resolve the massive cliffhanger this one currently baits you into the next collection with. As it is, by the time the final issue roles around, the stakes are so unclear that the events play out very flatly. I liked a lot of the individual characters (and even the "they're all Martian Manhunter" conceit), just not the storyline they were placed within. And the in-book art was very good.
