Who should write?

Who should draw?

Should the story take place mainly on earth or mainly in space?

I don't remember who wrote the MM backstories in JLA but definitely not him because he created a horrible new origin for him. Who ever drew that though, I'd be okay with it.

The story should start off on Earth since that's where he's stationed. Maybe have an arc or two every now and then in space but mainly on Earth.

My ideal Martian Manhunter writer is Grant Morrison.

Jae Lee.

Mainly on earth but sometimes in space.

i liked the origin. i thought it was creative and it made me feel for him

Really? It was an atrocity, in my opinion.

@arturocalakayvee: well im a new reader so i wasnt attached to any previous origin for him

If be fine with the creative team for the backups.

@sog7dc: Ah, alright. Then respect to you, my fellow user!

@arturocalakayvee: I do however wish the incredible artist named Scott Clark was with us. Its a shame he didn't draw more books

I would love to see a Martian Manhunter solo title. I thought the team that wrote & drew New Guardians did a really good job with the sci-fi feel, so that's one group that comes to mind for a character like MMH. Although, the quality of a hero's story is often depended on the quality of the villain. J'onn doesn't exactly have a stellar rogues gallery aside from his brother. I suppose New 52 made Despero his arch-nemesis so that could be worked in there, too. It would be pretty cool to have some new, unique characters made just to be part of MMH's rogues gallery. That way writers won't have to borrow/steal villains from other books.

If any of you are interested, the 90s Martian Manhunter series is getting reprinted into TPB. It was written by John Ostrander, and while never particularly popular, was critically well-received. I'm looking forward to it, simply because I'm a big pre-52 J'onn fan.

Maybe Ostrander and Mankhe on this MM solo title. I wouldn't mind Ostrander coming back to have a crack at my favourite Martian.

It would be nice to see where Matt Kindt might take the character to and on art duties I would love to see Doug Mahnke,Jae Lee or David Finch.

I don't care as long as he gets a series. :)

Writers: DnA

Art: Frencesco Francavilla

Setting: Always in space! We get to see J'onn on earth interacting with the regular DCU all the time, that's what the JLA is for. His solo should be more self contained with his own characters, like how Justice League Batman is interacting with the DCU at large but his solo is Gotham, same with Aquaman and Atlantis, JJ should be in space hunting down guys he deems as threats, ya know, like actually being a manhunter.

Writer: Scott Snyder

Artist: Ivan Reis

@jonny_anonymous: can you link me to the artists page? I can't find it for some reason.

@avenging_x_bolt: Francesco Francavilla (Person) - Comic Vine

@jonny_anonymous: thanks a bunch, I like it.

@avenging_x_bolt: really like to see him do more cosmic stuff

@jonny_anonymous: I agree, as much as I like MMH's connections and clout on the dcu, I would love to see him live up to his name. The combination of cosmic epics and earthbound super mysteries would be amazing and definitely carve that unique place in the DCU that he's always deserved (not to mention that A-list status he also deserves).

Writer : Geoff Johns, Jim Starlin, Dan Slott or Mark Millar

Artist : Doug Mahnke (With the right Inker), Ivan Reis, Scott Clark, Jason Fabok, Paul Pelletier or Mike Deodato

Any news on this? I was hoping he might get his solo title sometime this year...

I like the idea of Morrison or Ostrander returning if Scott Clark (rip) were still alive, of pick him but Ivan Reis or Doug Mahnke would be great too.Mike Deodato would be perfect as well. As for direction, seeing J'onn in space or continuing his establishment as the Secret Architect of the DCU would be great. Or have him travel the world solving the great mysteries of history. Oh and definitely develop a good supporting cast and rogues gallery for him, that's essential,

@arturocalakayvee: what was atrocious about it, I havnt read it.

Morrison with Sorrentino.

Ales Kot and Yanick Paquette.

I just really didn't like his new origin. Literally nothing is the same. If you don't care for spoilers: There was no Martian Civil War between the Greens and Whites, in fact they lived together in "peace and harmony." MM was being groomed to be the next leader of the Martians so during his rite of passage he had to live alone and travel the Universe to understand what being alone really meant. Then when he arrived back on Mars he saw that his entire planet was psychically slaughtered, which was okay with him because he already knows what being alone means. So he followed the psychic trail back to earth to find the killer, who was some sickly alien hiding in the arctic, and so John killed him and decided to stay on Earth.

To console anyone disappointed with New 52 MM, Jeff Lemire's recent interview with CBR has promised encouraging things for Martian Manhunter. Lemire says that he'll be more of a father figure/role model to the team, he'll be the link to the original Justice League in the team, he'll become obsessed with some kind of Canadian doughnuts rather than oreos (it's still a food quirk) and he'll be written as the most powerful being on the team if not in the DCU. That's pretty much what I want from J'onn in the New 52.

@lvenger

he'll be written as the most powerful being on the team if not in the DCU.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@lvenger: that honestly gets me right in the heart. I'm smiling like an idiot right now.

@dondave: I aim to please my friend ;)

@avenging_x_bolt I figured you'd like what Lemire had to say about MM. Making him the heart and soul of the team is in keeping with what MM is supposed to represent on a team. And for Lemire to get that is very hopeful indeed for MM in the future of the New 52.

Bump

Come on give him a series please DC!

I'd love to see Azarello and Risso take a crack at him.

I want Lemire writing it, there's some good artists out there, but I want Sorrentino or Rudy on it (even though they're both working for Marvel right now)

I'm honestly a little surprised this hasn't happened yet. Larfleeze got his own book but Martian Manhunter hasn't? I disagree with that one.

Compared to the pre52 origin I must say I love the new 52 J'onn even more. He's a superior character IMO.

Lemire and Sorrentino would've been great, Morrison would be awesome.

Was it any good? While I would love to read some Pre-52 J'ohn I have never heard anyone sing praise for a Martian Manhunter solo, often as an explanation why we didn't get one in New 52 before now.

@titanbreaker: Ostrander MMH is really good. And very underrated !

Writer: John Ostrander, Jeff Lemire, Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, Brian Azzarello

Artist: Ivan Reiss, Scott Clark, Francis Manapul, Chris Samnee, Cliff Chiang
