Good news: This Steve Orlando Book doesn't suck.
Bad News: The first half is way better than the second half.

Good old Martian Manhunter is just trying to live his life in peace on earth. In doing so he takes the disguise of a former cop/detective. In doing so he works with a badass partner, Ashley Adams, in taking down crime bosses and such. But when she discovers who, or better yet, what he really is, will she still stand by him? What happened to J'onn J'onzz family? What is the creature on earth who wants his head?

Overall, the start is really good. Learning about J'onn J'onzz, his family life, and how he became partners with Ashley is all good stuff. Even the very ending is bitter sweet but works well. Somewhere around issue 8-11 it got muddy and the villain is blah. Also this art is really wish washy, and kind of ugly if I'm being honest.

Color me surprised though. Steve Orlando to me is top 5 worst writers for DC or just about any comic series I read from him, but this wasn't half bad. Maybe he'll produce some decent stuff now that he's freelancer and off DC. let's see. This is a 3 out of 5.
