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

 

[IronSpidy]

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:

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.

Yet hes always has and always will be drawn white/silver.

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"

Jet&Black doesn't even make sense to me, I like the white with silver look.

So youre admitting hes white then.

Actually he's Jewish

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.

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

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

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

Thats fine, but has he been colored that way in his history?

Whats the excuse now then?

 

[roach]

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