Arrrgh! I was just moments too late to be the first drawing of the Martian Manhunter today!
I loved Justice League under DeMatteis, Giffen & McGuire and my favourite character was the Martian Manhunter. Maybe it was because he was the one trying to hold it all together and the one who needed it the most. He has all these random powers that effectively let him vanish, but he doesn't do that, he wants to be seen for what he is...more or less. Maybe it's because he's an Alien and I've been an alien for most of my life. These guys made the Manhunter a rounded and profound character, DeMatteis most of all.
I also LOVED Kraven's Last Hunt. It takes some writing chops to make a character as kooky as Kraven into such an impressive and tragic threat.
Oh and DeMatteis' Captain America was great, then Savior 28, Abadazad and a great deal more. Thanks for all the great stories Marc.

DeMatteis Day
For J. M. DeMatteis Day, I drew J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter in his natural state, inspired by the mini series of the same name that J.M. did with Mark Badger for DC Comics. Whatever results from their fantastic collaborations, it comes highly recommended (see Gargoyle and Greenberg the Vampire). I also threw in some Oreos (J'onzz' favorite) as a tip o' the hat to DeMatteis' run on Justice League, and some Dostoevsky (one of J.M.'s favorite).
