BRIGHTEST DAY,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Back on a replenished and rejuvinated Mars,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], J J finds himself at odds with D D another surviving Martian. Previously believing himself to be the last of his kind,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], J is torn between the joy of finding another green Martian and the horror of finding out that she twisted and insane. Making matters worse is the fact that D like all Martians,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is telepathic and can sense his inner turmoil. She understands that there is a small part of him that wants to share a life together and attempts to use these wishes against him and convince him to be the Martian Adam to her Eve and recreate a proverbial Garden of Eden on Mars.
Meanwhile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Deathstorm (the Black Lantern Firestorm) has returned in all his smartass glory and he brought his own Black Lantern Corps with him. As Jason Rusch father and Professor Martin Stein are trapped inside Deathstorm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jason does his best to inspire Ronnie Raymond to live up to his potential. Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Boston Brand and Dove start to put the pieces of the mystery of Earth new champion together and begin a search for heroes and villains with light-based powers.
Finally the snowball is rolling and gaining in size and velocity. Brightest Day has been hit or miss since the beginning but with each successive issue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it falls more and more squarely in the range. This one continues the trend and for the first time ever, actually manages to make me care about Martian Manhunter. Don get me wrong; I found him interesting in the past, mostly in the Justice League cartoon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but for the first time I actually care about the guy. By contrasting him with the evil Martian D D I felt like I understood J and saw the virtue that motivates him. That a pretty mean feat right there.
And D story was an intersting one as well. Imprisoned in a telepathic dampening cell deep underground for her misdeeds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she survived the death of Mars and experienced a loneliness not unlike the one J has felt for so long; only D loneliness drove her completely insane. She nuts, she conniving and completely evil: a perfect contrast to Martian Manhunter heroism. Furthermore, she knows exactly how much her presence upsets J and how torn he is and she uses it to her advantage. She creepy and evil and naturally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], quite fascinating.

The only fault of this issue is the same fault that every issue has: it feels like it not quite balanced. We get a lot of J J a little bit of Firestorm and virtually no Boston Brand. Despite being the lynchpin that holds the entire series together, the one page he received in the book felt more like an afterthought. It isn that it doesn further the story; it does. I guess I just want more of it. Still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this odd imbalance doesn seem as pronounced as it has in previous issues and it certainly doesn hinder the story.
All-in-all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I happy with this issue and pleased to see Brightest Day continue its forward momentum as the story progresses. We what,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], halfway through the story right now? And at this point,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I definitely in it for the long haul and can wait to see where the story goes from here.
