DETECTIVE COMICS #233: The Ghost from Outer Space Issue #233 promises John Jones’ most INCREDIBLE case. Without qualification. And, well, while it is pretty silly, things definitely go…uphill? downhill? Somewhere from here. This is not the most incredible or most … Continue reading →

DETECTIVE COMICS #232: The Dog with the Martian Master I’m just gonna say this is one of my favorite issues ever, and then dive right in. J’onn one day is chasing a jewel thief, Andy Fletcher, across a bridge. As … Continue reading →

DETECTIVE COMICS #231: The Theif Who Had Super Powers! At a robbery, J’onn is talking to a victim who tells him about the robber who could walk through walls (Whoa!) and bend bullets with his mind (dang!). J’onn thinks that … Continue reading →

DETECTIVE COMICS #225: The Strange Experiment of Dr. Erdel The very first Martian Manhunter story isn’t very oh, how should I say…plot-heavy. It’s a LOT of exposition. It’s like 8 pages of “hurry this shit up, he’s gotta be a … Continue reading →
