Once again, Brightest Day asserts itself as one of the most engaging books of the week. The focus this time is on the Martian Manhunter as we witness a strange and wonderful future where he has helped save the universe and is the most beloved member of the Justice League. When the other members of the League start to be murdered, though, you get the sense that the future isn’t quite perfect. Geoff Johns and Peter J. Tomasi really have a handle on all the characters integral to this storyline, and here they make the Manhunter sympathetic and powerful through a combination of anger and dedication. The art by Patrick Gleason is decent, too and creates just the right amount of anticipation for his run on Batman and Robin with Tomasi in February.
