Art: Patrick Gleason, Ivan Reis, Ardian Syaf
In the previous issue Boston Brand, Hawk and Dove were the main characters featured throughout the book whereas here the Hawks and Martian Manhunter lead the story, with a two page story of Hawk, Dove, and Deadman. Aquaman and Firestorm are nowhere to be found here.
We get a little backstory at how the fight between M'Gann and the mysterious green martian happened in issue #6. But we still don't get any information from the martian antagonist aside from the fact that she is really a green martian and hates white martians with a passion.
Gleason's art really helped the story of Martian Manhunter. The panels where the mysterious green martian is attacking M'Gann while is slowly transforming back into a white martian adds depth to the story.
As for the Hawks, Tonrarr gives us a little history of Hawkworld while Hawkgirl fights Hath-set and ends up with a twist. This is just from personal taste, but I liked the story about the Hawks better than J'onn's. Syaf's art on the Hawks are very detailed, with great shading and nice angles for the panels.
The end of the issue leads us to Star City. But it's I bet it will not get touched upon at least until in the next two issues. This is the problem with too many featured characters in a book. Some subplots and characters really get left out and takes time to develop them.
Despite that, Brightest Day is starting to become interesting compared to the previous issues.
Rating: 3.5/5
