What is the best Martian Manhunter comics to read? I want to read more comics about him, but i don't really know where to start. What do you recommend me? :) Sorry, i don't know if this topic was made before. I search but i didn't find anything :/

I posted this in another thread a long while ago, but here's my top picks:

1. Brightest Day (He had one of the major story lines in this series, it really gets into the mind of MM.)
2. Martian Manhunter: Others Among Us (What if J'onn's not alone?)
3. I recommend the entirety of Justice League International, but vol. 5 has the best MM story.
4. Final Crisis Companion (The funeral of Martian Manhunter.)
5. JLA: Trial By Fire (What if Martian Manhunter loses his fear of fire? A fun, and interesting story that really digs into the Martian pyrophobia.)
6. Martian Manhunter: American Secrets (Pretty good, not the best, but it's interesting to see Martian Manhunter solve a mystery in the 50's.)
7. Showcase Presents: Martian Manhunter vols. 1 and 2 (Fun silver age Martian Manhunter stories, no real emotional value, but like I said, they're fun, and they show how MM was originally written.)
8. Stormwatch (He was never really a main character to the series, but he was pretty badass throughout.)

I'd also recommend John Ostrander's Martian Manhunter series, it's out of print, but it's worth tracking down.

@WonderHunter: Some of the old JLI stuff is a lot of fun. :)

@The_Tree: @Icarusflies: Thanks a lot!

In Brightest Day he was awesome and there you could easily learn his origin and the way he thinks and deals with things.

The John Ostrander series was really good. It's not collected but I think it might be on Comixology.

This makes me realize how underrated MMH is.

The Ostrander stuff was great and I think the DC You Rob Williams story was ok. Just ok though.

Also, this thread is old as hell.

The most recent run of Martian Manhunter...excellent!!

Ostrander's run is the definitive Martian Manhunter, IMO
