Somehow we still don't have a Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev Nick Fury ongoing, but that's okay. Today, at the Cup O' Joe panel, Bendis announced he and Maleev were teaming on another project in addition to their creator-owned Scarlet series. That project? A relaunch and "rebirth" of Moon Knight.
No details were really provided, but we know Knight is intended to launch early on in 2011. Bendis noted he and Maleev had been working on the series for a while. It will be interesting to see if both Moon Knight and Scarlet will remain on target once 2011 rolls around.
Apparently the team accepted the assignment after Quesada challenged them to find a new take on the character. Bendis noted he and Maleev had to think a while, but believe they have found the proper approach. Quesada noted that he believes this work will be compared to the Bendis/Maleev work on Daredevil nearly a decade ago.
Needless to say, we're excited. One of the most acclaimed creative teams of the past decade working on a second ongoing series? Yes, please.
