Martian Manhunter Reading Order

Martian Manhunter is one of the most consistent heroes in the modern Justice League, with roots back through the Silver Age Justice League of America.

The last survivor of Mars began with 1950’s backup stories in Batman’s Detective Comics, and in addition to his presence in Justice League, has had a variety of solo miniseries (although rarely a lengthy ongoing) throughout the decades.

Below you’ll find a complete reading order to DC’s Martian Manhunter.
