Bookended by Cats was named after Milo and Otis. They are the short, orange, and furry brothers who, upon entering our lives in 2003, often bookended us on our couch. And who are we? We're a geek couple living in PA. We love music, movies, TV, comics, books, and comic cons. And, from time to time, we'll share our thoughts on these nerdy things.

Absolutely Martian

I don't know if it's my favorite (yet) of the Absolute universe, but the opening volley of Absolute Martian Manhunter definitely made a case for it. 

Strong concept.

Excellent script. 

Fantastic art. 

Oh, and this issue absolutely (heh) makes a case for owning and reading the comic in paper rather than digital format. I won't spoil why I say that.


Absolute Martian Manhunter #1 is currently on the stands. 

Creative team:

  • Deniz Camp (writer)
  • Javier Rodríguez (artist, colorist)
  • Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (letterer)
  • Katie Kubert (editor)

    I 100% agree with Brainwise. You need to read this issue in hard copy form. You will not be let down. It is beautiful and clever and I am not even a reader of this comic :)
