Absolute Martian Manhunter Is a Perfect Fusion of Art and Story (& You Need to Check It Out)
In every issue of “Absolute Martian Manhunter,” there’s a stunning visual experience that’s hard to beat, but issue #4 truly embodies my statement about the art and story being inseparable. The narrative unfolds with a White Martian shining a blinding white light on the city during a heatwave, causing chaos and discomfort among the inhabitants. This is depicted through a sickly yellow background and an offensive white glow that permeates everything. Agent John and the Martian can’t address the root cause of the problem, so they focus on managing the symptoms. As days turn into weeks, with them often being away to combat this issue, Bridget’s bitterness continues to grow.
