I bought issues 1 and 2 when they came out and…haven’t read any more of it since then, as it felt like Orlando was trying to do his best imitation of King’s Mister Miracle (also a series I’m not too big on), so it fell flat for me.
I totally agree. I wanted more of him, with the yellow ring. And my god he looked like Sinestro walked off the page! I’m glad he was given a chance to return to DC in Shazam. He was great in that too. I’m looking forward to more Silvana.
Don’t worry she got better Superman put her back together
Interesting, because I’ve been curious about that Mister Miracle series. And funny, the suggestion of Martian Manhunter came from the same crew at my shop, who also highly recommended Mister Miracle.
Imagine Sinestro popping up in a Shazam movie and Strong playing him and Sivana.
Shazam would say “You know, there’s something eerily similar between you two.”
Sinestro and Sivana glance at each other and shrug
Then, Green Lantern swoops in and they have a big 'ol battle royale! Storytelling/continuity logistics be damned, that’d be a fun scene!
It could work, cause the DCEU doesn’t seem to give a damn about continuity anymore. If they ever really did.
Hey @jwarzy5702! Welcome back to the Community - we’ve missed you!
This was the same voice cast that I thought of as I read - it just seemed to fit the best.
Right?! I’ve been a passive fan of J’onn for years, but never felt the desire to dig that much deeper into him as a character until now. The entire first issue was really about him and everyone else was just, well, supporting characters in their own story.
No problemo! Have some Oreos and a tall, frosty glass of milk nearby as well.
Since Brandon Routh has already shared a scene with himself as Superman/Clark and Atom/Ray Palmer, it can definitely be done!
Whatever gives us more of Strong’s Sinestro, I’m all for it.
Why did I not know this was a thing? I love Orlando’s writing! runs to Google
Oh! AND Riley Rossmo is the artist? Umm…be right back. runs to online retailer
Alright - I’m back and Martian Manhunter: Identity is on my way to being at my house in 2 days.
I was about to say that too. Unless, of course, you just want it in your collection, then understandable.
True, but when it comes to green-ish fellers, I’d sooner spend my bucks on this guy:
Also a star of The Totality. His trading card artwork is from the below book (Justice League #6), which was the conclusion of the arc:
mister miracle is pretty good, kind of its own canon tbh (which King excels in imo) but I enjoyed it
The Martian was one of my favorite superheroes growing up and I was so happy that Snyder and Jimenez brought him back into DC mainstream!
His new 52 run was the first thing I read from his work. Loved it. It’s what made me had an interested in Snyder’s work.
I’ve read the first couple issues of the Martian Manhunter maxiseries but I’ll definitely finish it sometime!
I loved Snyder’s Batman run, too! I hadn’t read a ton of Batman comics before that, but once I started them I couldn’t stop.
