Article Summary

  • Absolute Martian Manhunter #1 surpasses 120,000 pre-orders, marking a massive success in comic book sales.
  • Scott Snyder praises Absolute Line's variety; Martian Manhunter's artistic ambition stands out.
  • Expect Grand storytelling from Deniz Camp and Javier Rodriguez's unconventional Martian Manhunter.
  • Absolute Flash outperforms Martian Manhunter; both comics defy expected sales numbers.

Scott Snyder told the Comic Watchers YouTube podcast "I'm so proud of.. the FOC was yesterday for Absolute Martian Manhunter. And that's the perfect example of a book that you could not get in the main Universe whatsoever. But Deniz Camp and Javier Rodriguez just murdered it."

Talking about the Absolute line, he added, "The first three have a similar kind of ethos, but after that, we want to give you a real variety. So Absolute Martian Manhunter is artistically really unconventional. It's really huge ideas, it's very ambitious, I love it to death. I think it's going to win the Eisner, it's that kind of book that challenges you. And I feel really good about it; we just got our numbers, and I said Martian Manhunter sold over 120,000, which to us is mind-blowing. That's not a book… nor is Absolute Flash, which sold even more like books…. that you would think would sell 100,000. Those numbers are insane to all of us. And the fact that people are showing up for them, it's so gratifying."
