For something lighter but equally absurd, 'Chew' by John Layman is a blast. It’s not about aliens, but the weirdness factor is off the charts—think a detective who gets psychic impressions from food. The humor’s just as sharp, and the stakes somehow feel just as high, even if it’s about chicken-related conspiracies instead of Martian death rays. If you dig the campy yet brutal tone of 'Mars Attacks,' this’ll hit the spot.
If you're into the chaotic, darkly humorous vibe of 'Mars Attacks #1: Martian Deathtrap,' you might love 'Invasion of the Saucer Men' by Adam Troy-Castro. It’s got that same blend of over-the-top alien violence and satire, but with a 1950s B-movie twist. The way it pokes fun at classic sci-fi tropes while still delivering genuine thrills reminds me so much of the irreverent energy in 'Mars Attacks.'
Another wild ride is 'Black Science' by Rick Remender. While it’s more dimension-hopping than straight-up alien invasion, the sheer unpredictability and gritty artwork give off similar 'anything can happen' vibes. The characters are constantly thrown into insane situations, much like the hapless humans facing the Martians. Plus, the art in both comics has this visceral, frenetic quality that makes every page feel like a rollercoaster.

In a world where the moon shattered and the strong devoured the weak, Neoma Solstice is nothing. A scentless Null. A ghost. A mistake.
Until the day she saves a dying Lycan warrior with a touch, and her secret is revealed: she's Void-Born, the rarest mutation in existence. The same power that makes her invisible makes her invaluable—a living weapon that can cure the incurable Feral Rot plaguing the Lycan Ascendancy.
Captured and collared, Neoma is forced to serve as "Tether" to Unit Vanguard: four elite soldiers on the brink of madness. Barzil, the ruthless Commander who sees her as a mission. Wolfy, the cold Tactician who sees her as a puzzle. Viggo, the feral Berserker who sees her as salvation. Guller, the fallen Priest who sees her as redemption.
They own her contract. They control her life. They swear she's just a tool.
But tools don't make their masters kneel.
As Neoma's power grows, so does the threat she poses to the regime that enslaved her. When the prophesied Blood Moon rises, she'll have to choose: remain the Ascendancy's battery, or become the Void that devours them whole.
Some bonds are forged in blood. Some in magic. Theirs was forged in desperation—and it might be the only thing strong enough to save a dying world.
The Obsidian Covenant is a dark dystopian reverse harem romance featuring a morally gray FMC, four obsessive MLs, found family dynamics, enemies-to-lovers, rejected mate redemption, and a slow-burn that explodes into high heat. Perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince meets Den of Vipers in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
No choosing. No apologies. No mercy.
"Why?! Why must I be married to a beast? a demon? An alien of all things??" The princess said as she started hauling things at her female servants.
"Juliet, you must marry the Alien for the sake of every humans. We can't lose any more lives and to stop that, we need you to marry the Alien Prince." Her mother said as she moved closer to the princess and brushed her hands past her hairs.
"You are so special to us Juliet but you must help us end this war. Come on, go get some sleep, the wedding's tonight."

War of worlds tells of a story about a cryptoian kataros who goes about attacking and conquering planets within the milky way galaxy till he is stopped by the people who escaped from the planets he conquered and destroyed
If you're digging the vibe of 'Absolute Martian Manhunter (2025-) #1', you might wanna check out 'Justice League International' from the late '80s. It's got that same mix of cosmic weirdness and dry humor, with J'onn J'onzz as the team's heart. The way he balances alien detachment with deep empathy really shines there.
For something more recent, 'Far Sector' by N.K. Jemisin explores similar themes of an outsider navigating human society. The art's completely different - more neon cyberpunk than classic superhero - but that feeling of being profoundly different yet deeply connected? That's there in spades. I still get chills remembering how the Green Lantern protagonist wrestles with her own version of Martian Manhunter's loneliness.
Ever stumbled upon a book that feels like a fever dream blending cosmic dread with razor-shleld satire? That's 'Die Earthman Die' for me. It's this wild cocktail of vintage pulp SF and horror, dripping with sardonic humor—like if Lovecraft got drunk and decided to roast humanity's ego instead of worshipping tentacle gods. The stories often twist familiar sci-fi tropes into grotesque parodies; one tale might feature astronauts discovering a 'paradise' planet that's literally digesting them, while another pits a pompous alien invader against Earth's most baffling weapon: bureaucracy. The prose crackles with this manic energy, like the author was cackling while typing. It’s not for everyone—some bits feel deliberately over-the-top—but that’s part of its charm. I adore how it mocks humanity’s hubris without ever losing its sense of fun.
What really stuck with me, though, is how it balances absurdity with genuine chills. There’s a story about a generation ship where the passengers evolve into something... unsettling, and the gradual reveal had me equal parts laughing and side-eyeing my dark hallway. It’s rare to find something this unapologetically bizarre that also makes you think. If you enjoy works like Philip K. Dick’s darker short stories or the body horror of Junji Ito (but with more sarcasm), this collection’s a gem. Just don’t expect cozy bedtime reading—it’s more like a rollercoaster through a haunted funhouse.
If you're into the deep, introspective vibe of 'Martian Manhunter' (2015-2016) #1, you might want to check out 'Vision' by Tom King. It's another DC title, but it has that same blend of psychological depth and superhero action. The way it explores identity and belonging really reminded me of J'onn J'onzz's journey. Plus, the art style is stunning—moody and expressive, just like 'Martian Manhunter.'
Another great pick is 'Moon Knight' by Jeff Lemire. It’s not DC, but it’s got that same surreal, almost trippy feel. The protagonist’s fractured psyche makes for a gripping read, and the way the story plays with reality is super engaging. If you liked the existential themes in 'Martian Manhunter,' this one’s a no-brainer. I’d also throw in 'Doom Patrol' by Grant Morrison for its weird, existential storytelling—it’s like 'Martian Manhunter' but on psychedelics.
