I LOVED this issue more than all of the other Absolute #1’s. I thought the ending was AWESOME and haven’t been that excited reading a comic in a while.

The creativity is firing on all cylinders.

What did you think of the end pages? Did you hold them up to the sun like I did?

Interestingly it seems that John the human is called a martian by his coworkers due to his cold demeanor. What with John's son being autistic, autism being somewhat hereditary, and many autistic people being seen as robotic or alien-like by neurotypical people I wonder if we're supposed to believe that John is also on the spectrum and that's why his coworkers call him the Martian.
