Reads - Absolute Martian Manhunter

Reads, our very own monthly comics reading group, returns on Wendesday 12th August 2026 from 7-9pm. This month we'll be reading and discussing one of our favourite superhero comics of the past year, the multiple Eisner award winning series Absolute Martian Manhunter by Javier Rodríguez and Deniz Camp! Volume 2 hits our shelves in the very near future, so this is the perfect time to jump on board with the Justce League's resident Martian.

FBI agent John Jones has a problem. His brain has been infected by an alien consciousness calling itself “the Martian,” and its perception of reality is utterly incomprehensible to the human psyche. Now he must navigate this new status quo, all while balancing the deeply grounded and important duties of his day job! Reinvented from top to bottom by Deniz Camp (Ultimates, 20th Century Men) and Javier Rodríguez (Zatanna: Bring Down the House), Absolute Martian Manhunter takes Justice League’s resident Martian on a mind-bending, psychedelic journey that transcends dimensions.

Collects Absolute Martian Manhunter #1-6.

If you don't already know, we've been running a comics reading group for some time now. Once a month on a Wednesday evening, the shop closes its doors and welcomes the reading group in for an evening discussion of one of our favourite comic books. Reads is free to attend and welcome to all! You simply need to turn up on the night. The reading group are a friendly bunch and always welcome new members.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 12th August, from 7pm, and hope to see some new faces! You can order a copy of Absolute Martian Manhunter from our website by clicking the link here.
