Art by Ryan Bodenheim
This is another Hickman masterpiece. This series is set in a future where the Earth is about to come under siege by an overwhelmingly powerful alien race. The title character, Mars, is an eternal Superman-analogue, who has no interest in helping with the situation at all.
This issue introduces us to his son Phobos, and gives some explanation to the bizarre actions of Lightbender in the previous issue. Even though this is the second issue of a four-issue series, it feels like the plot is still being set up.
The art by Bodenheim is interesting. I like his designs for characters and futuristic technology. The colours are by Hickman, and he works with his usual pallet, giving the look a bit of consistency with Pax Romana.
As usual with Hickman, I have no idea when the next issue's going to come out, but I am looking forward to it.
