The Idol-Head of Diabolu, a Martian Manhunter Podcast 005: Making Sense of the Martian Manhunter

Podcast: Making Sense of the Martian Manhunter This episode, Frank responds to an article on Comics Alliance by Chris Sims where the columnist devotes more time to thinking about the pros and  cons of the Manhunter from Mars than most folks would ever spare. Sims  felt the Alien Atlas compared unfavorably and unavoidably to Superman  and Batman in the Justice League, and that he works best filling their  vacuum in instances where the World's Finest duo are unavailable. Frank  mostly agrees, but explains that there are a lot more venues available  for that service within the DC Universe than might have been previously  considered, including adopting orphaned concepts from prior periods of  those heroes' library. Remember kids, just because you only know a  character from team books doesn't mean that's all there is to know...
