Martian Manhunter/Marvin the Martian Special #1

It's Martian Vs. Martian in the most insane paring of all-time. Due to a temporal rift Marvin the Martian has emerged in the DC Universe, introducing J'onn J'onzz to an new color of Martian- the black Martian! Thinking he's found a comrade, the Martian Manhunter extends an olive branch to Marvin. The tiny Martian accepts but he's appalled that J'onn has yet to conquer earth and eagerly seeks to train the Manhunter in the art of global conquest. And J'on J'onzz thought the White Martians were a headache...

Then in the second feature, the same tale is told but it's given the Looney Tunes treatment. Now in the some of the other specials, I didn't like the fact that they repeated the main story in the back-up feature. But it actually works here. This story is so insane that the zany style of the Looney Tunes gang works best in this situation. 

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed both stories. But the back-up feature was way better than the DC Universe set story. Great writing by Steve Orlando (Supergirl) and Jim Fanning. They are both very witty. The visuals were okay but not perfect artwork by Aaron Lopresti (Atomic Toybox) and John Loter and I just love how Lopresti finally reveals what a black Martian looks like without their helmet! A lifelong mystery finally solved!!!

A fun read that is full of great laughs but a little lacking in the art department.

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
