    It has come to my attention that a lot of Moon Knight fans are also fans of Ghost Rider, and vice versa.  I first noticed it back in the 06' series of each character.  Marvel had advertisements for Moon Knight's series in a few of the Ghost Rider issues, or maybe it was the other way around?  I don't know.  At the time, I didn't think much about it, because it's only natural that Marvel should advertise upcoming books in other books.  I just remember thinking, "Isn't that funny.  It's like they know you read Moon Knight, if you read Ghost Rider."  Hey, it's not like all Moon Knight fans read Ghost Rider, I know that, but I do know of some MK fans on here that also like GR.   
    So, been reading Shadowland?  Notice who's in that?  Sure enough, a cover of Moon Knight squaring off against Ghost Rider.  Coincidence?  Me thinks not. 
    Still not convinced?  Seen who's gonna be in Heroes for Hire?  Ghost Rider in front and Moon Knight right behind him, as seen in what was just released.  Here's a link in case you missed it. 
    If you are a fan of Moon Knight, are you also a fan of Ghost Rider, and if you are, what's up with that?!  If a person likes Ghost Rider, why do they also like Moon Knight? 
    I might just be crazy, though... so let me know what you think.

    I find this very interesting.  I myself am not a huge fan of Ghost Rider.  I think he is kind of cool, but I don't see myself wanting to buy any of his comics anytime soon.   It seems like what you've discovered could be intentional. 
     
    On a side note, that Heroes for Hire image looks badass!

    Heroes For Hire looks EPIC!!! I see how a lot of people would be Moon Knight and Ghost Rider fans, because they both have a dark tone to them and are similar in a lot of ways.

    Maybe it is because both characters have a mystical background? Just a suggestion.

    Hmm some good suggestions here.  It is true that both characters are dark, and I actually never even thought about their mystical backgrounds. 
    Either way, I just thought it was weird that they were pairing up my two favorite Marvel characters.
