June 2014 Character of the Month: Moon Knight

The community has selected a new individual to praise and Khonshu is very pleased.

Sorry, Spider-Man, but it's time to step out of the spotlight. The web-slinger was voted as our very first Character of the Month and had May all to himself. Now it's time to praise another character: Moon Knight! The latest poll had 10 anti-heroes to choose from and 645 Comic Viners voted. Marc Spector was able to gain a lead over the competition and now we're excited to give the dude a whole lot of attention. Congratulations, Moon Knight fans!

Created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin, Moon Knight debuted back in 1975 and has been the focus of multiple volumes. The latest one, by Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey, is receiving nothing but an overwhelming amount of love. So, what happens next? Throughout June we're going to have several features about the brutal hero. We'll talk about his best covers, his best fights, his must read stories, and he'll likely make appearances in the Question of the Week and the Batman Battle of the Month. Be sure to keep your eyes on the homepage throughout the upcoming month for plenty of Moon Knight goodness!

Wondering how the voting went down? Well, here's poll's results.

No Caption Provided

Let's begin the celebration right now. Share with us your favorite image of Moon Knight below and explain why it's full of awesomeness. Commence the Moon Knight praise! Do you like this feature and want to provide feedback and/or make a suggestion for future editions? Feel free to tell us below or reach out via Twitter.

I would've liked to see Deadpool or Catwoman though a month of Moon Knight will be fun!

At least this month will have a ton to draw on since Moon Knight has been cancelled and relaunched more than any other character on that list. I think they are on like the 9th volume of the book?

My favorite Moon Knight cover is a variant from Vengeance of Moon Knight #7, because look a that awesome image of Egyptian Iron Man!

I haven't had much exposure to Moon Knight outside some Avengers issues, so I'm looking forward to exploring the character more during this featured month!

I would have been happy no matter if it was Moon Knight or Red Hood but I did vote for Moon Knight cause I feel like he's not known enough and he deserves all the publicity he can get.

I voted for Deadpool because he is just an amazing character but I'm really glad that Moon Knight won as he is so underrated and in need of some serious attention.

That and the fact that he isn't a Spider-man variant :P

Oh snap.

I never really cared about Moon Knight until I started reading his new series, and his grabbed my attention ever since. It should be noted at this point that Warren Ellis is doing a great job with Moon Knight - even if I've never read anything else Moon Knight, I find Ellis' work great and gives the character a lot of mystery and with it, interest from the reader.

Moon Knight, punching dudes in the face since 1975. I remember getting pretty stoked when he shows up in West Coast Avengers. I love how that run shows how he's able to resist mind control. The answer of course being: because he's crazy. That's his super power.

Jason deserved the win. I am happy with Spector too but Kaine and Jason would've been the better choices.

I've read most of the RHATO issues, and honestly, I'd have to disagree. I'll never understand Jason Todd's appeal. The whole 'bad boy black sheep of the Bat-Family' shtick has never interested me, be it Pre or New-52.

Still, to me Namor is the first and the original anti-hero, but I'm greatful that MK got picked. Which tells you the character is still going strong and has a loyal followers, so to speak...

Last time I checked Batman wasn't a mercenary ressurected by an Egyptian god. Similarities go as far cape (some aesthetics). Batman doesn't kill/ Marc does. etc. etc. etc.
