Bendis/Maleev "Moon Knight #1" on May 4th

#1 Posted by G Bird (1278 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

I just read on www.tfaw.com that Moon Knight #1 be released on May 4th. I know release dates can change but I figured you guys would wanna know this seeing as I've also been wondering when in May it would come out. For as much as I dread thinking about how much this is gonna screw up Moon Knight, I'm actually looking forward to it coming out just for the simple fact that I need my Moon Knight fix. It's still not stopping me from throwing salt at Bendis on twitter :)

Hopefully it brings Bendis back to the days when he was writing Daredevil, now that was actually good Bendis stuff back then.

We ORIGINALLY thought that. Now that he practically CONFIRMED he's screwing up Moon Knight, I'm very uneasy.

Oh golly! Look at that! Wolverine, Spider-man, and Captain America! All the people Moon Knight will think he is! HOW MOTHERF***KING CONVIENIENT.

F**k this sh*t.

@warcorpse: It doesn't even look that amazing art wise. Finch was better.

I do really like the artwork but I'm still pissed about what Bendis is going to do with the writing.

@G Bird: Agreed. I'm so goddamned conflicted.

Let me guess, even though it shows no dialogue, he's being told off by them all for his "heavy-handed" actions, and so when runs away to LA, he wants to be more like them to prove he's worthy.

If that is how it goes down, then Bendis is a terrible writer. For the sake of Moon Knight, let's hope I'm wrong...

I wonder who the hell he's fighting.... maybe it's that new L.A. crime boss Bendis was talking about? I hope not because that dude doesn't look very boss to me.

It probably will go down exactly like that. He'll probably even use the phrase "heavy handed".

Bendis said that LA's Kingpin is the villain he alredady wrote about. This guy isn't look like a villain from DD, Avengers or even Alias. I think, The Boss is probably Daken.

And i want to ask: IS IT DEAD FRENCHIE?!

As much as like Finch's Moon Knight, but David isn't even in the same class with Maleev.
@Danial79: Steve Rogers in Captain America costume make me think, that it is already in Moon Knight.

What do you mean by "Is it dead Frenchie?" Frenchie isn't dead and your question really doesn't make sense.

#15 Posted by Gentleman Ghost (14 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

@G Bird: in preview on the first page there is a guy, who looks pretty much like Frenchie (I think).

Will buy this to support Moon Knight. If Bendis does manage to make Moon Knight more popular, maybe he can go back to being bugged by Khonshu and we can see Stephen and Jake again in the long run. I'm just gonna tough through it.

"I'm gonna support Bendis bringing back Sentry. Maybe, in the end, he'll go back to being a real hero after conquering his fears."

A few years later, Sentry is killed by his fellow Avengers because "it had to be done" after maintaining his total-puss status and just becoming a joke.

Yeah, this won't end well.

#20 Posted by Nighthunter (28542 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

The captain america, wolverine and spider-man there are most likely projections of his multiple personality disorder instead of the real thing. Either that or Steve is becoming Captain America after the trial and it was just spoiled.

I'll go with the first

Even I don't think Bendis will go that far to wreck Moon Knight for us, but I guess you never know.

Nope, the first time I read Daredevil was in the Shadowland series. And the only reason I read Shadowland was because of Moon Knight's involvement. I bought every single issue involving that series.

The Daredevil run was good, but it was really f-ed up as well. At one point, I recall people being afraid of Matt Murdock, hoping they wouldn't sue them for the smallest things.

If it can't last 10 issues they shouldn't even put the damn thing out! I want a MK series to last longer than 60 issues, seeing as that's the record for a MK series.

Just think, if the original Moon Knight series had kept going, they'd be up to Issue #360 by now!!

I truly believe that if Bendis were to be gruesomely murdered, and the Jury was made of intelligent comic book readers, the killer would be found not guilty. After all, he's a serial killer of characters.

Bendis\Maleev did Daredevil v2 for a while and it was amazing.I expect the same here.No cop outs and no nonsense.

It's not the same Bendis. This Bendis is a drooling halfwit writing glorified fanfiction.

Bendis has maintained his ability to write good stories with solo books.If this was going to be a team..I would have 0 hope for it at all.

Moon Knight, Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley: four different aspects of the same man, who was resurrected by Khonshu, the Egyptian Lunar-God of Vengeance and Justice, to serve as his "avatar", and perform various acts of vengeance and justice on unjust mortals.
