Final Crisis: Requiem # 1 2008 VF/NM

Final Crisis: Requiem # 1, released on July 9, 2008, is a high-impact one-shot that honors the death of the Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz). Published as a critical tie-in to the Final Crisis event, it serves as a funeral and tribute to one of the most respected members of the Justice League. 

The issue expands upon the brutal murder of J'onn J'onzz at the hands of the villain Libra and the Secret Society. 

• The Dying Breath: In his final moments, J'onn telepathically broadcasts a "last will and testament" to his closest allies, imprinting Martian history and culture directly into their minds.
• The Reflections: Five key heroes—Superman, Batman, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Black Canary, and Gypsy—reflect on J'onn's life and their personal relationships with him as they record his history.
• The Funeral: The story culminates in a somber ceremony on Mars, where heroes from across the DC Universe gather to lay J'onn to rest in his homeworld. In a famous moment of vulnerability, Batman leaves a "Choco" cookie on J'onn's casket as a final tribute to his friend's known weakness.
