Bendis Confirms MOON KNIGHT Ending With Issue #12

He'll be back.

OH LOOK, SURPRISE.

Seriously, no one saw this coming?

The new MK series is fantastic! Finally MK gets to battle a REAL villain (Nefaria) and not idiotic Mexican wrestlers. Great heroes overcome great villains, right? The West Coast placement is a nice nod to MKs Avengers past, and the presence of Echo adds a lot of personal interest to the story.

This is a great start for a MK series and sales have actually been pretty good. MK is outselling Hulk and right behind Punisher. It makes me wonder if this series was planned for 12 issues all along and that this is some sort of set-up for a larger Ultron-based story arc. I also wonder if MK will be 6ft under at the end of this series too, which would really frustrate me.

If you want MK to continue, please join the FB group "Save Moon Knight" here. Let Marvel know that MK has loyal fans, that sales have been good, and that we want MK around fighting REAL villains!

So now that so many damn titles are being cancelled...what new titles are going to take their place ?

*cough!* New X-Men *cough!* The Runaways *cough!*

Moon Knight will never die! He is just too awesome! :)

As long as we never see Cosplay-Man again, I'll be happy :)

Moon Knight will be back. Getting canceled has never stopped him.

In the last five years he's survived it at least 3 times now.

Fire BENDIS

@Danial79: actually, it wouldnt be so bad - MK, Echo (assuming, she survives), few other underrated heroes and throw one big name for the profit - whala... theres soooo many lately unused villains from NYC who could move to LA - Count Nefaria already is wonderful example..

Damn I love Moon Knight, it's a real shame this has been cancelled, it had lots of potential.

and this is what happens when you invest money into big story events. you can not fund the actual good series out there. now people will taste my pain after losing Alpha Flight.

know who should write the new series. Tony Daniel, does a good balance of everything that makes for a good writer

Marvel should hire David Finch and Paul Jenkins for MK,I cannot stand them on Batman.

Finch doing Moon Knight makes me happy.

@entropy_aegis: nah, if they cant do on that book, dont want them on MK

At least he'll still grace the pages of Secret Avengers. He its right in on that one.

@JonesDeini: I kept hoping it would get interesting. Marvel does a crazy guy name deadpool in a good way. Not for every tale, but good enough to keep reading.

That'd be a wonderful pipe-dream.

Bendis must have read the Moon Knight character talk. XD

I love the series, but am actually ok with this. Moon Knight is an awesome character, but every series has started off strong and ended really poorly. Atleast here they are going out on a good note.

@Aarny2: Nice immortal avatar

Oh well there will be another run somewhere in the future, there always is...

I'm waiting on a new run of New Warriors!! Bring it back damn it!!

@InnerVenom123: Mike Benson said he's working on something else and MK isn't in the foreseeable future for him.

This is a fan-cast, it has no bearing on REALITY. Silly K4. =P

With all the Avengers titles out (as well as new ones announced), they should relaunch West Coast Avengers and have Moon Knight as the leader :P

I actually really like that idea.

And Mike Benson writes it.

Now you LOVE that idea.

Yes! Scarlet returns! Hoorah

Moon Knight is an amazing series but they don't seem to have many fans.

@jkeener71: Maleev's style is very love or hate, imho.

I hear you. On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being awesome, 10 being crap.

Maleev gets a 9, which is pretty crappy. 90% of my posts are complaining about how much I hate his art. LOL!

I just pray the next artist doesn't suck as bad as he does.

Man this sucks.

@JMLG: LOLWUT? Strongly disagree.

these series is the best thing going on Marvel besides TWO BEST SERIES OUT OF ANY COMPANY (yea i see u DC fans) - Daredevil & Punisher - so, yeah, its a shame smh

@Baddamdog said:

I'll say what I said in the other forum:

I never read the series but it's always a shame when a 'small time' hero's ongoing is canceled. Plus the art was very pretty. And it was good that Echo had a place again. Although then again the whole concept of the series was a deliberate attempt in cashing in on the success of other heroes and trying to assosciate them with a minor one. I just find that insulting to the character. Not having faith in a character like that is shameful.

Art was pretty? I thought it sucked. Sucked HARD!

Damn i am really enjoying this run !!

MK originally started as a character with multiple personalities. If anything, Bendis brought the character a bit more to his roots.

He wasn't insane though. When he started, they were personas that he used to gather information. Lockley for the streets, Grant for upper class.

Exactly! I don't get where some people get this "Jake and Grant were his split personalties" from? He was undercover people. It's how law enforcement get their intel. Is every undercover agent in the world suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder just because they're posing as a criminal?

Moon Knight's only aspect of "insanity" is talking to an Egyptian God that no one else can see. Has been since volume 1. But does talking to your god and having them talk back actually mean you're insane anyway? I think that's debatable.

In the end, I'm happy that this series has ended. Hopefully the character will get a reboot in a few years and we can all pretend this never happened :)

That's what I always thought

I usually enjoy Moon Knight, but recently the books just haven't been able to hold my attention. I'd like to see another cosmic title like Nova and/or Guardians of the Galaxy brought back, and finally find out what REALLY happened to Nova Prime and Star-Lord. You KNOW they aren't really dead.

Well, as they say.. Nothing lasts forever~

Everyone knows the series is just a prelude to Moonpoint anyways.

This is not good news.

But...but that means I'll be only buying one Marvel title a month soon.

I remember Moon Knight being cancelled is in the 90s, because they got that Stephen Platt to draw it and for some reason he got this hyped-up vibe to work because they say it was 'like Todd McFarlane's' and he signed his name 'SPLATT'. Then the book ended he went to work for Liefeld on the Prophet series.

Wasn't there one not two years ago that was drawn by David Finch?

As a MK fan I'm sad to see the title go but I'm happy that it means Bendis isn't writing it anymore. Bendis didn't do what he said he was going to do when he started the title and that was to do things with MK that hasn't been done before....MK is not just the mask but the man behind it as well and he seemed to just forgo MS almost completely.

Also as a whole Bendis is shit when he's doing stuff that isn't his own. I dropped the Avengers books because all the characters where Spidey clones. I hope he just sticks with creator owned stuff.

EXACTLY!!! I didn't mind when marc snapped an retreated into those personas to deal with his problems. It made sense and was well handled. Bendis though...sigh, he writes the mentally ill with all the sensitivity and understanding as a Nazi running a concentration camp would Jews. And the way he wrote Marc seemed very regressive to me and threw out the progress he had made in soldering his fractured psyche.

It was awful. I lost all interest 5 issues in, and sales agreed with me. Bye Moon Knight.

5 issues? Man I applaud your pain threshold sir. I read issue one and I just couldn't man. Just couldn't go forward. Perhaps Marc will get the book he deserves one day.
