5.0 out of 5 stars The Real J'onn J'onzz, December 18, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Showcase Presents: Martian Manhunter, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
First the bad news - this is all printed in black & white - so be it.
The wonderful news - you get all the J'onn J'onzz stories from the first one in 1955 through Detective Comics # 304 published in 1962. The final twenty or so stories finishing J'onn's run in Detective Comics are not included. This is the real J'onn J'onzz from the 1950s. It does not get better than this.

2.0 out of 5 stars Historically interesting..., July 3, 2008
This review is from: Showcase Presents: Martian Manhunter, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
The evolution of the Martian Manhunter is rather interesting to watch unfold. He starts out much different than you might be used to. The first half of these stories are basically private eye/detective type stories. Martian Manhunter operates invisibly without the general populace even knowing he exists. I find MM's vulnerability to fire to be annoying at best. Fire affects him the same way kryptonite affects Superman. Anytime someone lights a cigarrette in his presence he passes out. I wish they had just gone with the idea that he wasn't invulnerable to fire instead of it actually weakening him. MM would have benefited from a supporting cast (there isn't much of one) and some colorful villains to battle (none of those either).

3.0 out of 5 stars Only for die hard MM fans, March 6, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Showcase Presents: Martian Manhunter, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
This is a collection for people who have a jones (no pun intended) for some campy, nostalgic, good-old MM action. I am one of those people. Definitely worth the money if you really like classic comics for their style of story telling. The first several issues are enjoyable simply because they are so ridiculous, but as the volume progresses, the art gets better, and the storytelling is more enjoyable in and of itself. Unfortunately it cuts off before the seventies start. That's okay, I would like to see more emphasis on new Manhunter Story TPB anyway.
