Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 is everything that makes this series great, a wild ride that leaves you begging for more. It's a testament to the power of pure, unbridled creativity in comics.

I was not expecting this book to be nearly as creative or spectacular as it was, but it's maybe the best example of how the Absolute Universe is showing off DC at its best. Read Full Review

With the issue marking the halfway point in the miniseries, Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 strikes an unexpected tonal balance, using its grim atmosphere to offer glimpses of hope, reaffirming the Absolute imprints recurring theme that the human spirits ability to connect can endure even the harshest manipulation. As a result, Camp and Rodrguez deliver a chapter that operates simultaneously as a deeply human character study and a bold experiment in how comics convey ideas. So, thanks to its striking visuals, philosophical depth, and emotional weight, Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 is a triumph of storytelling craft. Read Full Review

The Absolute Universes most unlikely duo brings forth a last stand for the ages with this chapter. Camps writing takes readers on an unforgettable ride. Rodrguez & Otsmane-Elhaou craft fantastic images that lock in on the mental and physical tolls taken in this matchup. This series has been nothing short of sensational. Dont miss it!

Absolute Martian Manhunter Issue 6 is a terrific reward in this world of weirdness. The abstract makes the mind soar, but the guns and physicality keep the story grounded as much as possible. Read Full Review

Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 is a brain-melting (and possibly thought-provoking) conclusion to the current storyline, but it kicks the door for the next chapter wide open. If it's an absolute trip you're looking for, this is it. It's sheer madness, but it wears that madness well. Read Full Review

Thrillingly beautiful and delightfully metaphysical, Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 tips all the simmering tension of previous issues into a boiling conflict. Read Full Review

The first story arc of Absolute Martian Manhunter goes out with all sorts of bangs, exactly as one has come to expect with this title. The storytelling, artwork and, especially, the coloring are next level comics. Read Full Review

Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 is an absolute train wreck. What it lacks in a coherent plot it tries to make up for in a baffling artistic style and overly philosophical dialogue. It's a frustrating read that feels like a bunch of random ideas thrown together on a page. The narrative is so scattered that you'll have no idea what's happening or why it matters. Don't waste your time trying to make sense of this one. Read Full Review

Honestly, I think it was very sensible of Deniz Camp to take the concept of "What if there was a DC world which was naturally weighted towards darkness and evil?" and ask the follow-up question: "What if that's closer to the world we, the readers, live in?". The answers are compelling.

Best absolute series by far Can't wait for the next arc

The first arc ends on a perfect cliffhanging note, following a showdown between good and evil that plays out on multiple fronts. The people of the city, the Martian, John, his wife and his son are all waging a war against evil in this finale, and not everyone escapes unscathed. I’m pissed that we have to wait until December for the series to resume!!

A great finale for the first arc here. Camp & Rodríguez killed it once again here, and I'm really looking forward to seeing where the book goes when it returns for the next arc. Really loved that the ending was a bit of a callback, of sorts, to the ending of the first issue with the importance of having a physical copy.

I’m convinced people just dick ride this book to make themselves feel like they’re in on something. Aside from the art this whole series was empty.

Yeah, the hype just boggles my mind...

How fragile are your guys egos lol. Sad.

Smithd33 - Aug 28, 2025

You don’t know what ego means do you?

OpticRageX - Aug 28, 2025

I sure do, its hardly some sort of mystic concept. Are you a simpleton? Some sort of learning disability perhaps?

Smithd33 - Aug 28, 2025

How can someone’s ego be harmed by comic preferences? Aren’t you the same guy who got super butthurt cause sus Gabe’s reviews hurt your wittle feelings? Dude. Sit this one out. I’m glad you enjoyed Absolute MM. I’m wanted to. But didn’t.

Ill break it down in the most simplified manner possible for you so the discussion remains within your capacity. "I dislike this comic that is both critically acclaimed and adored by fans" What you should have done if you had any sort of insight/emotional maturity/a brain is accept that different strokes for different folks and that art is in the eye of the beholder etc. Again, not really a foreign concept or a difficult thing to do for those of us who aren't thick.

OpticRageX - Aug 31, 2025 (edited)

However, instead of doing that and just moving on to something you do enjoy you decided to leave a negative review and insult people who do enjoy the comic. Ergo, instead of behaving like a rational adult you instead choose to behave like a cringy insecure gimp who resents people who likes things that are perceived to be of a higher concept by critics etc. Hence your dickriding comment.

OpticRageX - Aug 31, 2025

Ultimately I actually dont give a shit about your opinion, because why on earth would I? Its just one dudes opinion on the internet. However, your comment made you look like such a moron I had to intervene. Hopefully this will help your own insight and critical thinking in the future. If you dont like something a lot of people do, dont be a little bitch about it, just move on. You're welcome!

Smithd33 - Aug 31, 2025

Critically acclaimed. Gold comment. Imagine reading a comic critic like they’re not 95% shills. I’m glad enjoyed the dick ride. Some people just have higher standards than you do. That’s ok.

OpticRageX - Sep 1, 2025

"Anyone i disagree with is a shill" Ah, I see, even more of a brainless moron than I first thought. If I knew you were sub IQ points I wouldn't have tried to help evolve you as obviously you dont have the capacity to do so. My bad. Right so, well look, best of luck being a dumb dumb, I know its probably not easy. Please just dont breed. The planet is already cooked enough.

Coming from the guy that was mad at Gabe for giving a score they didn’t agree with. Please don’t leave your mom’s basement. The real world might scare you sport.
