Now excuse me as I end it all

Stopped after #6? That's kinda sad..

@darthaznable: Yea 6 is the last issue

Heh, I was expecting Ellis to do 12. Is anyone surprised, though? Ellis hasn't done long work for years.

BB

Why is it that Moon Knight never gets a long run with a good creative team?

WWWWWWHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYY!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!

@billy_batson: Yea I knew from the very first interview he did that he wasn't planning on staying long but it still hurts :(

Well can't say I'm surprised.

What about his first series?
BB

That was short.

I just realised I included myself in that call-out above. I guess I'm going to blame myself, then.

@hislolita: I say we are all to blame (but especially @theacidskull)

@theacidskull: The beautiful dream is over my friend

it was nice while it lasted......

:(

Why mus u do dis???

This is very sad :(

Is the series actually ending or is the creative team just changing?

@jonny_anonymous: Because he thinks that now anyone can take over the run and the sales will keep up high. I. Hope. He. Is. Right.

Be strong my brothers, you must have faith... Don't let misery steal light and courage from your hearts!

@strider92: It doesn't sound like to book is ending since it's actually selling pretty well so I think a new writer will come on but It's still sad considering all the groundwork Ellis just laid down.

@cyberwarrior: I will pray to Khonshu thats your right

@jonny_anonymous: Still sad but not potentially catastrophic

@strider92: I'm not sure how long MK will last without a big name like Ellis on it.

I can only hope that the book will be given a great creative team that's able to build off of what Ellis established.

At least I'll be able to find Ellis in Trees.

Bu the way, i haven't heard from @veshark on the MK topics for quite a while. What do you think of this? Did you read the new run?

@the_tree: I hope they announce it soon

I picked up the first issue and enjoyed it, but I was waiting to get this in trade. Gotta say, I'm a little saddened by the news. I thought that at the bare minimum, Ellis would do at least 12 issues, considering he sounded fairly enthusiastic about the project. He did more issues for Thunderbolts & Secret Avengers, so I thought this would be around there, and MK's been dying for a definitive writer & run for a while now. Now I'm just worried about the replacement team.

Also:

All these pug pics got me laughing!

Every time Moon Knight has something good going for him it gets taken away. :-( And here I thought this was MK's opportunity to get off the C-List.

If it's any consolation it looks like Marvel is finally going to collect the Dough/Sienkiewicz run in color with their Epic collections.

BB

Why must good things come to an end?

Of all the names to leave the title, Declan Shalvey is the one I'm most depressed about, I feel as though his art style was made for Moon Knight.

I'll stand in the rain so marvel can't see my tears.....

@wolverine08: Pugs are noted fans of Moon Knight

WTF! If this was only going to be 6 issues, it should have been solicited as a mini-series from the start. Damn, Marvel and DC really irritate the $#!@ out of me sometimes.

Damn. It's almost funny.

@captainhoopla: Well it doesn't mean the book is canceled just the creative team is leaving

@jonny_anonymous: it's cancelled in my heart. Honestly though, if it is continuing with a new creative team, I'll still pick it up and give it a fair shake. I think I'll miss Shalvey the most. I'm curious to what he'll be working on next.

Wow....this sucks

@veshark: Thanks for the word)

All we have left now is to hope that the sales will stay high for long enough...

Any word on who the new creative team might be?

6?

Sigh.

RIP Moonknight run

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHY??!?!?!?

I WAS LOVING THIS BOOK! NO! WHY??

I have to blame someone

"WTF MARVEL! FUUUKE YUUUUU"

Well damn
