    Official Press Release


    is pleased to present your first look at Moon Knight #1, from the Eisner Award-winning creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev! Moon Knight heads to Los Angeles as a one-man Avengers team to dissolve a criminal syndicate tearing the City of Angels apart. Except there will be no warm welcome, because once word gets out about Marc Spector’s arrival, the mastermind behind LA’s crime circuit will stop at nothing to make an example of any Avengers who cross him.  Plagued by incurable schizophrenia, can Moon Knight hold it together to clear out a city riddled with villains?  This May, two of comics’ biggest talents reunite to redraw, and redefine one of Marvel’s Big Shots, only in Moon Knight #1!

    It's unlettered. I can't really tell if Bendis will make Moon Knight good or not from this. I've already known about the art, and I thought the Maleev was a perfect touch for Moon Knight from his Daredevil run. Still not sure of Bendis, though.

    I was always a little annoyed, if not fine, with Wolverine's constant push into all other Marvel comics, but this seals it. I hate him just for his influence. Vengeance was good! Why did they have to cancel it?!

    Ahem.

    Bendis. You're an uncreative hack. Next time you get a character assignment, write it like he's supposed to be, don't rip off his f**king Ultimate form. You did this with Carnage too, just before killing him off. Stop taking cocaine off of Bagley's ass and get your sh*t together.. Maleev, shame on you. (BTW, Finch is better. I don't care who disagrees. Finch is better.)

    Apologies to Bendis/Maleev fans everywhere.

    Vengeance went downhill after the first arc. Just saying.

    How is something an advanced Preview when it shows two pages of balloon-less conversation between several characters in standard positions and then three variant covers?

    That's hardly a preview.

    Also, this will suck.

    Yes, I don't disagree. But no one seems to understand that his Moon Knight run was a one-time thing. I've always said that Clayton Crain would be EPIC for Moon Knight, but in reality, he has better things to do than trying to 're-re-re-create' Moon Knight. In reality, Maleev is probably one of the best fit artists for Moon Knight that we will actually see ongoing.

    Moon Knight feasting on the Souls of Khonshu cult members that increases his power with each foe vanquished.

    If not the increasing-power thing, then definitley him just being extra-brutal.

    I don't think he usually does interior comic art, though. Just covers. I can name tons of comics he's done covers for, but none that he did main art in.

    Everyone I know always tells me I should read X-Men books, but I just don't like X-Men. One of the reasons for that might be that the movies really turned me off. And I just don't like the concept of X-Men.

    I still doubt I'll ever get into X-Men. I'm already trying to keep up with Moon Knight, Daredevil, Spawn, and Batman.

    I'm definitely gonna put this title on my pull list but I'm not happy about it. If I wasn't such a huge Moon Knight fan/supporter I wouldn't bother with it.

    Same. Him, Daredevil, and Batman. Not saying their clones of rip-offs, I just think Batman has some well-written stories and hope to hell Moon Knight can get some too. And Daredevil has practically NEVER had a badly-written story.

    @warcorpse: I always thought that there should be a Shadowland-esque movie. Change the story to make it good, and they could use it to introduce a bunch of new street-level characters to the big screen and get viewer excited about the on-screen characters. Then think about it. People would see it and WANT a Moon Knight, Iron Fist, or new Daredevil movie.
