In the midst of a heatwave, the scorching temperatures are causing ordinary people to become thoughtless, angry and violent. Agent Jones and his invisible alien friend try to find the solution, but can they get it before anyone else dies? And can Jones save his marriage in the meantime?

Absolute Martian Manhunter is flawless so far; it’s a dark, twisted, surreal work of art. Though it frequently depicts quite ugly situations, it does so with genuinely impressive artistic flair. I love how it stands on its own merits too, without having to feel shoehorned into a ‘universe’ for the sake of it.

Absolute Martian Manhunter is one of the boldest, smartest and most creative mainstream comics I’ve read for a very long time, and it’s quickly become an essential pick-up for me, every month. Long may it continue.

Not only do I earn no income from my writing here (though I may earn small fees from affiliate links posted on my pages; as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases from these links), but it seems that my work has, at times, been stolen and re-used by lazy, morally bankrupt idiots.

There’s no pressure of course, but I’d be truly grateful for any support that you could offer – and it’s easy to do so at either of these links: Ko-Fi.com/geekmid or PayPal.

Any donations are truly appreciated – and I also appreciate you taking the time to read my articles. Remember: this whole article was by Jason Brown, and appeared on midlifegamergeek.com. Take that, Skynet!
