J'onn's partner has realized who he really is and now he will have to convince her to keep the secret by any means.
Yeah, I just don't see the point of this story.
As I've mentioned before, I disliked the story that Steve Orlando was telling initially because it portrayed the usually kind and noble Martian Manhunter into a corrupt and violent cop. Fortunately, it seems like this story is not in-continuity so that means that classic J'onn won't be affected by it so that's a plus for this book.
THE PROBLEM is that this is still a rather unnecessary change for the character even if we're talking about an Elseworlds story. This is not like the Ultimate Marvel or Earth One incarnations of characters due that despite of taking some different routes with their portrayals, they still remain the same at their core. It could have been easy to create a brand new tale based on the classic aspects of J'onn J'onzz but sadly, that's not the case. This title just misses the point of Martian Manhunter so much that it might be about a completely different character.
About the chapter itself, it continues the same path all right. J'onn still serves a terrible Government to make Mars worse and beats everyone who opposes them (but it's for the sake of his family so I guess that makes him a bit more sympathetic?) and his partner has now learned that he's an alien so this will create a brand new dynamic between them (Oh, and J'onn also threatens to erase her memories, so yeah).
Is pretty obvious what Orlando is going to do, as I've said before he's going to sorta "redeem" J'onn and turn him into the more classic version of himself but I don't think the journey is going to be that interesting to be invested into this whole arc.
Riley Rossmo continues in art duties and his work is still great thanks to his bizarre creatures and creative take on Mars.
Aside from that, not going to keep investing more time in this series. Is not worth it.
