The Comfort of Denial | Absolute Martian Manhunter 7 Spoilers

Absolute Martian Manhunter returns after a three-month absence to ask an uncomfortable question: what happens after the truth has been revealed… and everyone decides they’d rather not talk about it?

In this video, I look at how the series shifts its focus away from cosmic confrontation and towards something far more unsettling: denial.

As John Jones struggles with isolation, suspicion, and the slow collapse of normalcy, the comic explores how people respond when their understanding of reality becomes impossible to live with. Not by rejecting it outright, but by politely, collectively, and very deliberately looking away.
