The Official Moon Knight Thread

[Nightwing]

Moon Knight issue #1 comes out on April 5th, art by David Finch and written by Charlie Huston. So this thread is dedicated to the new highly anticipated on-going, who's going to pick it up?

[Bullseye]

Considering its Finchs art... maybe.

[Nightwing]

Considering its Finchs art... maybe.

I'm looking forward to more then just the art personally...I think this series will be great to add to a pull list.

[DBM]

Moon Knight issue #1 comes out in 3 days, art by David Finch and written by Charlie Huston. So this thread is dedicated to the new highly anticipated on-going, who's going to pick it up?

Um, it comes out in 7 days not 3. Comics come out on Wed/Thur, not Saturdays.

[Nightwing]

Um, it comes out in 7 days not 3. Comics come out on Wed/Thur, not Saturdays.

April 5th is the date? Wonder why I couldn't find that anywhere, thanks. And I know books come out on those days obviously, for instance, I'm going to go pick up Iron Man #6 and Thing #5 which are both on sale today.

[Darthphere]

Awesome, ive been a long proponent for a Moon Knight book and im glad were getting one. It all looks good so far.

[PWN3R]

I am soo looking forward to this, has anyone seen the previews??

Looks great!! :up:


MoonKnight_Preview (http://www.popcultureshock.com/pcs/gallery.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=13175)

[GNR]

I'm looking forward to this.At first I wasn't sold,Finch was never a fav of mine.But I think the dark and brutal mood this book seems to have may finally be his niche where he can really shine.He never was a good talking heads artist.

[The Geek Vault]

I might get a subscribtion of this for my b-day.

[deemar325]

I'm there! regardless of Finch's art.

[DBM]

My comic store had a preview issue today when I went in. I read through the first half or so while they were ringing up my comics. It seems to be pretty interesting. Right from the start they get into the reasons why Moon Knight is the way he is.

I'm not a big fan of the art (I don't like the photo-real style) but the writing looks to be pretty good so I'll probably pick this up.

[deemar325]

Theres nothing photo real about David Finch's art. Where you get that idea from?

[GNR]

I'm really looking forward to Charlie Huston's future work at Marvel most of all.From interviews,his website and such,he seems like a very enthusiastic guy who's just stoked to be writing comics.Can't wait for his take on the Ultimates.

[deemar325]

^ same here, he really gets me hyped-up for the series.

[GNR]

http://www.pulpnoir.com/?page_id=4

[deemar325]

Yep, Huston has my attention great site GNR.

[PWN3R]

It says its a miniseries, I thought it was an ongoing??


Cool site though..

[Darthphere]

Yeah the writing seems solid and Finch's art is pretty good when hes on his game and not making sour lips.

[GNR]

It says its a miniseries, I thought it was an ongoing??


Cool site though..

If you read further down,he says it's an ongoing.It was supposed to be a mini,but got the monthly treatment.

[deemar325]

I hope this Moonknight ongoing, clicks.

Ok,wow,more MK stuff.The first review is up.

OMG,you guys have to hear this interview.It's pretty lengthy,but very worth it.When Charlie talks about the "white costume" and why he wears it,he sounds like a madman.

Wow, after hearing this, I am so pumped for this series. I love his take on MK. Man, this guy sounds awesome....:eek: :up:

Cool, honetsly Kelvin Green is probably the worst reviewer out there. He finds the two or three negative aspects of a book, however miniscule and just focuses on that.

[PWN3R]

Yeah besides Green's review, look like Moon Knight #1 will be a good read..

[taskmaster]

I'll be picking this up for sure. Plus I heard that Taskmaster may show up in this book, that's always a plus.

[deemar325]

You say that like its a good thing.

LOL! my bad early 'Born again' Frank Miller.

:up:

[PWN3R]

Is that Kelvin Green dude trying to be a cool hxc comic geek/fanboy with his reviews? Or is he just another douche?

I mean you read everyone elses reviews, and they all enjoyed it, and he just rants on and on and on....:confused:

[GoldenAgeHero]

i feel the moon knight chracter should be like the spectre, the spirit of the egyptian god or whatever mark is possesed by should choose a host. and i really think they need to tweak the moonknight costume.

[deemar325]

^ The costume is damn near flawless to me.

[GNR]

The costume is fine.This dude beats people to bloody pulps.He doesn't need a utility belt,those are for sissies. :P

[PWN3R]

yeah I agree. Plus if you hear that interview with Charlie Huston, he STRONGLY believes his outfit should be white. He wants everyone to see MK a' coming...

[deemar325]

^ Hells yeah!

I used to think he was Klan looking, but he looks so badass I got over it real quick.

[GoldenAgeHero]

The costume is fine.This dude beats people to bloody pulps.He doesn't need a utility belt,those are for sissies. :P

im sorry but throwing moon discs is far more sissier.


but anywho i still like the spectre idea i had.

the costume should look like this
http://moonknightfan.tripod.com/images/mtu7_cover.jpg

[deemar325]

^ It didn't show up GAH

[Darthphere]

Either way Moon Knight is perfect the way it is and the white costume is one of the most badass costumes ever. Its like having Hulk Higan beat up by a gay guy.

[Zaptoitnow]

^ It didn't show up GAH

Actually, it did, GoldenAgeHero just happens to think that MK should be sponsored and powered not by Konshu, but rather by Tripod from now on. ;)

[deemar325]

^ oh

[IronSpidy]

What comic was that wilth MK and Spidey. It looks nice. I'm super hyped for this and am really looking forward to this. It should be great!!

[Moon_Knight]

comicgeekspeak.com has a Charlie Houston interview. Pretty good stuff about Moon Knight and the upcoming series. Just look in the previous episodes section.

[GNR]

im sorry but throwing moon discs is far more sissier.


but anywho i still like the spectre idea i had.

http://moonknightfan.tripod.com/images/mtu7_cover.jpg

To be honest,white and green look far more sissier to me.Moon Knight isn't Spectre so it's best they look different.

[Zaptoitnow]

Very true. Also, while I am in no way against, but rather support, Marvel taking cues and ideas from the Distinguished Competiton (Young Avengers from the concept of Teen Titans), I think it should be done only in contexts that make sense. The Young Avengers forming after the disbanding of the Avengers makes sense, and was extremely well done. No old charecters were torn from their roots to make it happen, and it was a good story of its own right. Changing the idea of Moon Knight to that of the spectre doesn't fit the charecter, and only makes Marvel look stupid. That said, I do wish Marvel would get its magical charecters together and define them better. It's like Joe Q has said, in Marvel, magic is too undefined to work for most good stories. It comes off as a deus ex machina too often.

[roach]

Either way Moon Knight is perfect the way it is and the white costume is one of the most badass costumes ever. Its like having Hulk Higan beat up by a gay guy.


His costume isnt white.....it's supposed to be silver and black...with more black than silver. The only thing supposed to be silver(white) is the cape and hood

[DBM]

Since when? I have all of Moon Knight's appearances and it's always been portrayed as white/silver. Characters even reference that.

[PWN3R]

Um where have you seen that?? I don't recall a black MK...

[roach]

the pic from MTU is actually the correct color design.
The older issues have him in this color design but changed when writers and artists mistook old publishing coloring techniques as a white suit. Moonknight has always been described as being Silver and Jet. Jet being another word for black as in Jet Black.

Every appearance ever of Moon Knight hes been in white since his inception, and the new title has him in white. I dotn nkow what to say.

It's Brittany Spears making a stupid face.

[GNR]

God I hate her.Only in America can a "celebrity" ride with her baby in her lap and not get away with it.

K-Fed is even worse. At least she worked for her money K-Fed is just a bum.

[DBM]

Personally, I love Brittany Spears (but not her music). She's exactly like all those stupid redneck girls I grew up with in Kentucky. She dumb, hot, and easy.

[GNR]

Ok back on topic,I find myself really excited for this one.A month ago I couldn't care less about this book.But I think this is a good combo.Finch will finally get to rip loose instead of being tied down by talking heads which showcases his weakness.And Huston just has me sold.I've heard very good things about his books.

[PWN3R]

Glad to hear that man. Must be tough to decide on a book when they cost almost 5 bucks each.


You are my hero, lol. I dunno what I'd do, I'd defiently have to pick comics over gas for sure!

[IronSpidy]

Has anyone picked this up yet? Hopefully its kickass!

[DBM]

Considering it doesn't come out for two more days, I would imagine very few people have.

Well its out in Melbourne....dont ask why buts its out.

[iloveclones]

I know this has been discussed, so I thought I'd post this:

http://www.tomheroes.com/images/COMICwerewolf%20by%20night%2032.jpg

Does this end the debate, or begin it all over again?

[IronSpidy]

Whats the debate agian?? The colour of the costume?

[iloveclones]

Yep, and the above says "Clad in Solid Silver"

[IronSpidy]

Yes it does look Silver and white on that cover...

[RAMORE]

It is White with silver accents.

[iloveclones]

My point is that the copy on the cover states that he is "clad in solid silver" So that was their intent originally, whether or not they were able to manipulate "white" to make it look "silver"

[Moon_Knight]

The costume is Jet & Black. It's the same color as the moon which is not white


Doug Moench the creator of Moon Knight even said that it's not white.
http://comicgeekspeak.com/episodedetail.asp?episodeid=9

Charlie Houston the new writer says the same also.

Because Marvel couldn't get it right back in the 70's with the limited printing process. It became his schtick and it's here to stay. But he has always been called "The Jet & Silver Avenger"

read the interview with Huston and Moench where he explains why he is clad in silver and black

[Darthphere]

Kind of wierd were arguin the color of the guys costume. Either way I stand by white. Thats the way hes looked forever, even if the creator says otherwise.

[GNR]

It's white but appears to be silver or off white in different shades of light.There.This is the most ridiculous costume debate ever.

[Darthphere]

Yeah I agree, it doesnt help when the creator is saying its supposed to be jet/white and its never been done that way.

[roach]

From his creators mouth.....

"He started out as a villain in "Werewolf by Night." Right there that dictates several things. If he’s going to be going up against a werewolf he’s gotta be a night character because if they’re going to fight it has to be at night. Right there, night character. Batman’s also a night character, but he was the furthest thing from my mind. What else do you connect to a werewolf? The moon. That spelled out the colors of the costume. Jet and silver. Black and white." Moench

[roach]

Yeah I agree, it doesnt help when the creator is saying its supposed to be jet/white and its never been done that way.


it's because of the crappy coloring of old school comics....like why Superman had black hair with blue highlights

crappy coloring techniques in the old days and everyone who did the character since assuming the costume is all white

Its not an assumption anymore, its a fact by now.

In the podcast he talks about how he wants Marc to wear white because he wants his enemies to see him, and how any mother can wear black at night.

[IronSpidy]

Actually he's Jewish :)Wah? I thought he was from Edgept.

[Moon_Knight]

Wah? I thought he was from Edgept.

No he was a former merc. And he was out in Egypt on a job that's how he hooked up with Knoshu and got his powers.

[IronSpidy]

So, he is jewish born and raised?

[Moon_Knight]

Yeah I don't think he believes in that stuff anymore. I think he belives in Knoshu now.

[IronSpidy]

Thanks for the insight.

[Moon_Knight]

Come on man how did you think he got all the money to buy his mansion/eqiupment/helicopter.

[IronSpidy]

I dunno, you tell me...

Thats a shame hes jewish.....hopefully he doesnt belive in that anymore...

I do not want this line of talk to continue.

Not liking someone because of the religion they follow is just one of the many prejudices that inflict the world today.

Have respect for others ideas, opinions, and faith....even if you do not follow them. Show others the respect that you ask of them towards you.

[Oath]

Sorry I didnt read all of this it seem to get kinda ugly and I am sure someone has already said this but Yea MK is Silver and Jet Moench himself has claimed it many times and Comic Geek Speak Podcast has had him and the new writer whos name escapes me now both on in seprate interviews to explain whats up. He is NOW offically white colored the rational behind this now is he WANTS the badguys to easily see him coming and piss themselves when he does. This Moon Knight doesnt hide. They went with white on this because the new writer just assumed he was always meant to be white clad and when he learned he was mistaken he had already writen a portin of Moon Knights whole personality around this idea of him not being afraid to announce his comings to the enemy.

[XwolverineX]

I dont want to support a Jewish superhero..


Wow, ban him please.

I know that guy likes Spider-Man, and he dates a Jewish Hero in the Ultimate Universe. But anyways has anyone ran to the LCS to get their book? I can't go until like 2 or 3 hope they still have some left.

MK is one of my favorite charactersI always liked his costume and was going to buy back issues of some of his old stuff. But I have a queston didn't he die back in the early 90's and if he did how did he come back.

[roach]

well the dude does work for a god.....

[deathshead2]

Colossus, Psylocke, Bucky, Jean Grey(it's only a matter of time), Thor....:( Jean Grey sad really always comes back happy then turns evil and they have to kill her AGAIN. What this will be the 6th or 7th time right I lost track.

[Moon_Knight]

yeah infact I also forgot that he did well as a Marine that led him to the CIA. He was a very well decorated agent until he had a falling out with his boss and became a Merc

Did Houston say if he was going to explore MK's three personalities? And is he going to be Marc or Steve this time?

[roach]

i reallly dont know

[Moon_Knight]

Marc Spector > Steve Grant > Jake Lockley

[Darthphere]

Man, Moon Knight needs an awesome theme song. Like a heavy metal guitar iff, MOON KNIGHT!!!!!!

[roach]

nah i imagine a theme like the main theme from The Mummy

[Moon_Knight]

Naw, he's not in the desert anymore. He needs something similar to a Spider-Man but darker.

[roach]

a theme by Danny Elfman

[Moon_Knight]

Did he do the Spider-Man score?

[GNR]

Just read #1.It's not really wordy as it uses lots of images to get the point across especially in the second half.Finch really nails the storytelling in this one and the tone of the book has already been carved in stone.The Bottom is the perfect title for this arc.

I'd give it anywhere from a 3.5 to a 4 out of 5.

yes

I'm hyped man, was their alot of copies in your LCS?

[iloveclones]

Yup! I'd say twice as many as they usually stock for a given issue.

The art was beautiful, imo.

[Moon_Knight]

Alright I'm about to go get my copy. Hope they have one left, I need to add this to my new pull list

[Assassin]

Damn, I'm Catholic but i;m middle eastern and even I dont have a problem with Jews...I did get banned for a similar comment though, so why is Iron Spidy still alive?

Anywho, didnt thic come out today? i didnt see it at my shop

[roach]

sheet happens

[GNR]

Yea this came out today.

[Darthphere]

Great issue. It just feels good to be holding a Moon Knight comic again. Everything was spot on, and Finch on art is great. The mood, the pace everything was great. I find myself bias though. Im pretty sure if the book scuked id love it anyway because ive been waiting years for a Moon Knight book.

I know, i've seen Forest Gump, he invented that quote you know. :p

[GoldenAgeHero]

meh an alright issue. he just remind me too much of batman. they should really revamp him tho.

[GNR]

Some people really don't get it.The man is a schizo wreck.The hero is basically a follower of the an Egyptian God of Vengeance.Where the hell do you get Batman from that?

You know what,nevermind.Judging from your past sig,you're most likely one of those anti-Marvel sourpusses so I won't even bother.

[PWN3R]

meh an alright issue. he just remind me too much of batman. they should really revamp him tho.


did you even read it???

[Assassin]

he's basicly a jewish dr fate?

[Darthphere]

he's basicly a jewish dr fate?


Nope.

[deathshead2]

Saw the comic at the store I picked it up and flipped through it. Sadly I didn't buy it 2.99 was not worth 1.99 maybe yeah but it had great art but lack of enough dialoge for me to buy.

[Moon_Knight]

Great Issue.


SPOILER TAGS







Is that the Werewolf By Night?

[deemar325]

Yes, it does.


boo

[Darthphere]

Saw the comic at the store I picked it up and flipped through it. Sadly I didn't buy it 2.99 was not worth 1.99 maybe yeah but it had great art but lack of enough dialoge for me to buy.


Lol, what comics you buying at $1.99?

[deathshead2]

Lol, what comics you buying at $1.99?I was just saying if it was I would buy it.Cus I hate books that are just art.:mad: I need substance.

[Mr. Green]

I wasn't planning on getting this, but it was a slow week for me and I figured, "what the hey, I'll buy it." I'm glad I did. Cool, cool, cool.

What the hell was up with that seen with the mustache guy in the moon night plane thing? And I wonder who that guy with the metal legs was. Wierd.

[roach]

The mustache guy in the mooncopter is his pilot and friend Frenchie.

The teeth werent Werewolf by night's but Bushman's since he had metal teeth that he used to kill people with.

[Moon_Knight]

I forgot Bushman had metal teeth. I hope Finch updates his look to this century; but a Werewolf By Night fight would be really sweet taking Marc back to his roots and why he became a hero.

[roach]

well the solicts for next ish said MK vs Bushman

[Moon_Knight]

Have they shown Finch's version of Bushman yet? Because his style was really a product of the time he was living in. They need to update the look.

[roach]

He had a skull painted on his face with metal teeth...other than that what needs to be updated??

[chris moore]

So how'd MK die last time? and who was the metal legged person? I dont think divulging past MK history is spoiling, but tag it if you think it should be.

[roach]

I had the same questions. I didnt read MK's last series. Last I saw of him before MTU was Marvel Knights and he was pretty much alive...I remember DD joked with him about how much of a joke his Secret Identity was.....jokes on you Matt

[Moon_Knight]

He had a skull painted on his face with metal teeth...other than that what needs to be updated??

His hair

[Moon_Knight]

He died in Marc Spector: Moon Knight #60, but he came back in a couple mini's in '98 & '99

[roach]

His hair

He was bald if I remember correctly


If he died then I am not really concerned with his res...I mean the guy works for a god...being able to come back to life should be a perk of the job

[iloveclones]

boo

Why 'boo'?

And why did it need spoilers?

[roach]

awwww you spoiled it

[iloveclones]

No, I mean, why does Deemar's reaction to it need spoiled? Maybe I'm missing something.

[Moon_Knight]

So do you think Marlene is done with Marc? I mean he's treated her like crap for soooo long now. Time for her to move on imo.

An has anyone read the solicitations for next couple issues? If so what do they say?

[roach]

it looked like he had slapped her around

[Moon_Knight]

I thought he punched her.

[roach]

ok he hit her.....

[Moon_Knight]

Who do you think that guy in the fake legs was? Maybe Frenchie?

[roach]

could be....i cant wait to find out....

anyhow as kick ass as the splash page was of MK descending on the bad guys it bothered me how the cape was draped instead of falling back straight.

[Moon_Knight]

I didn't really notice it, but finch's style was made for this book imo.

[roach]

his cape should have been straight back as the velocity of the free fall should have pulled it back....there was just something about that pic that bothered me

[Darthphere]

Your OCD?:confused:

[Sabretooth]

Nice first issue. Finch's art was actually bareable this time :up:

[DBM]

Who do you think that guy in the fake legs was? Maybe Frenchie?

THat's who I thought it was.

[Nightwing]

I managed to pick up a copy of issue #1, almost sold out to my surprise. I admire Huston's work, and I think he did a great job with capturing who Moon Knight really is nowadays. #1 left me excited for issue #2.

I thought so aswell.

Thats really cool coming from a guy with a Batman SN. Tell me do you think after reading this or any other MK issues that he's a Bats clones?

[deathshead2]

ha all these storys about it being solded out dang people should go to the store I go thiers at least 50 some copes left.

[Moon_Knight]

There were a couple issues left in my store to. I hope it's like this for MK in the coming months.

[GNR]

Fear Khonshu!

[deemar325]

Why 'boo'?

And why did it need spoilers?

Boredom.

[deemar325]

Unless it's like the BatmanBegins cape.

[deemar325]

Your avy creeps me out.

[Nightwing]

Well, people have compared the two off and on. Saying how they both work during the night, both where capes, or how Moon Knight is Marvel's very own Batman. For instance, in issue #1 where Moon Knight is calling for his moon plane we see a man with a mustache piloting it. I heard people actually saying how the man is Moon Knight's Alfred, now that I found irrelevant. But to answer your question, I'd say no. The two of them are different in many ways, even if they're both dark themed.

[roach]

Your OCD?:confused:


huh???

[DBM]

Your avy creeps me out.

My avatar is awesomeness incarnate.

[roach]

no one likes...THE MONARCH

[UK_Stu]

I do - God bless the Queen :D

[roach]

Hmmm a Dr. Girlfriend fan

[UK_Stu]

it's the deep voice for me...

[roach]

lol

[Moon_Knight]

Is that show coming back with a new season?

[Anubis]

Yeah, in June I believe.

[Anubis]

it's the deep voice for me...

Yeah, she was hot. Even with the deep voice, and the Gorilla Uterus.

[Darthphere]

Something I want to comment on Finch's art. His faces suck(literally), but he was always able to capture the mood of the story and setting. He did a top notch job here.

[UK_Stu]

Yeah, she was hot. Even with the deep voice, and the Gorilla Uterus.

Wasn't it a baboon's uterus?

[Anubis]

Ah ha, just trying to see if you were paying attention. ;) *shifty look*

[Moon_Knight]

Something I want to comment on Finch's art. His faces suck(literally), but he was always able to capture the mood of the story and setting. He did a top notch job here.

Yeah, alot of his faces do look similar. But I still think he's a top 5 Marvel artist.

yeah they are really really diff. i hate when people compare.

[Darthphere]

I agree, his work on New Avengers made the book readable for me.:up:

[roach]

his characters can be a bit bulky at times

[Darthphere]

True, but he was pretty consistent on New Avengers.

[roach]

i remember looking at the poster for House of M and thinking everyone looked bloated

[Darthphere]

That was someone else.

[roach]

are you sure.....???

[Darthphere]

are you sure.....???


Yeah. The name escapes me.

[Darthphere]

Olivier Coipel, it was.

[Zaptoitnow]

Yeah, it was Coipel. Personally, I think Finch is a fine artist. Sure, alot of his faces look similar, but that's a difficult thing to not do. It's not a problem to the point to where you can't tell who you're looking at. Personally, I love his dark gritty art, and I think that while it was an ok fit for dissassembled, given the tone of the story, he shouldn't neccesarily be a regular on a book that should be about large all out superheroic slugfests. Not that that is what the Avengers are really about lately...

[Moon_Knight]

I wonder if his paralysis is all in his head? That way when Khonshu restores him, he'll never know whether he was actually restored or just convinced himself he could walk again.

[Dread]

My take on the first issue of his new title:
MOON KNIGHT #1: Huston and Finch attempt to relaunch Moon Knight for what seems to be a 3rd or 4th attempt from Marvel since his creation. Now, while I don't mention it much, I actually have liked Moon Knight before this series was launched; he wasn't my favorite Marvel hero but I did like him moreso than many others, and my comic collection is scattered with more issues of his series than, say, Avengers or other Marvel comics. I liked the design and the grim-urban hero appeal. I never saw him as a "Batman Ripoff" but more along the lines of The Phantom or The Shadow, as in a pulp-hero. Unfortunately, the connection to Batman has become a self-fulfilling prophecy at Marvel that led to abysmal dire in the 90's with armor, and MK hasn't recovered since...until now. Huston seems convinced that he understands Moon Knight's roots and wants to return him there, and this first issue is off to a good start. Moon Knight has been reduced to guest appearences since the 90's and often has the poorest luck of being manhandled by the lamest of enemies; The Fly once crippled him in MOON KNIGHT (vol. 1) #35, and Zaran the Weapons Master (as in, that guy Squirrel Girl's squirrels sent packing in GLA #4) once nearly killed Moon Knight towards the end of the MARVEL KNIGHTS series in 2001. However, MTU #7 brought Moon Knight back into circulation, although more people noticed his appearences in AVENGERS DISASSEMBLED. Now he's finally back in his own series (thanks likely to WIZARD long pining for him) and apparently he's hit rock bottom, fondly recalling his life of yesteryear and appreciating it more that he no longer has it; apparently he became crippled in some attack and both Frenchie and Marlene have been driven away by his abusive reaction to his injuries (Frenchie is even missing his legs; I didn't know that!). Finch of course suffers from "same face syndrome" like many artists (Quietly, Bagley, etc), but his dark art fits the tone of the story. The story has twangs from that 80's #35 as well as a little DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, but all of this is fitting for Moon Knight; after all, DD is stuck in his own affairs, so now is his time to relcaim his title. I also enjoyed the return of MK's spiked knuckles that he wore during those WEREWOLF BY NIGHT issues, as well as acknowledging that, yes, he was an Avenger and has allied with almost every Marvel hero at some point. Now he's hit rock bottom and he'll have to claw his way out, and it looks like it will be a good ride. I hope we see who exactly crippled MK in the first place, but I have faith that we well. A very good start for Marvel's most demanded B-Lister. Let's hope the sales match up.

[Nightwing]

Excellent review of issue #1, Dread.

[Dread]

Excellent review of issue #1, Dread.
Thanks. It really was an excellent first issue of Moon Knight. My expectations for this arc are nearly as high as the moon (pun intended).
