Martian Manhunter #12 – Vol. 2 (1999) dives into the core of identity, heritage, and alienation, exploring the inner world of J’onn J’onzz—the last son of Mars—in a gripping continuation of DC Comics’ late '90s solo series. Written by John Ostrander with evocative artwork by Tom Mandrake, this issue blends mystery and introspection with moments of classic superhero tension, giving readers a look at the Martian Manhunter’s complex moral compass and enduring isolation.

By the twelfth issue of this richly layered run, J’onn J’onzz is facing increasingly tangled threads in both his public and private lives. Still operating as a silent guardian of Earth, he confronts those who would twist truth and memory for darker purposes. The narrative cleverly juxtaposes his shapeshifting abilities with the figurative masks he wears to fit into a world that is still not entirely his. This series is a deep character study wrapped in traditional DC continuity, perfect for fans of The Question, Spectre, or The Sandman.

Tom Mandrake’s artwork captures the mood with heavy shadows and expressive detail, emphasising the eerie and alien qualities of the protagonist while grounding the visuals in gritty, noir-inspired environments. This issue continues to blend cosmic sci-fi elements with street-level realism in a way that’s uniquely reflective of J’onn J’onzz’s duality.
