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.

@deadpoolwins23: One man's justice is another man's crime. Moon Knight has traveled a path darker than even Batman's and he's still considered an avenger. Batman's constantly threatened and often interrupted by his sense of justice. Don't bother compairing apples and oranges here. Spector won fair and square. Give him his moonlight.

I'm disappointed with the options honestly. I know the site favors Marvel moreso than DC, but really.... Catwoman and Catman were the only other anti-heroes you could think of? The fact Midnighter and Grifter were both skipped over in favor of options like X-23, Catman, and Elektra makes me : / these character of the month votes. You could have just handed it to Wolverine and not had X-23 on the list, was that too easy?

And what about all the anti-heroes from Dynamite? I know Green Hornet doesn't actually kill people with his gun but he operates like he's a criminal, does that not count? Or would that be an anti-villain? IDK but.... these votes need better variety!
