Moon Knight has been a favorite character of mine since I was a kid and I’ve been sad that his most recent iterations have been pretty boring to me. At his best, Moon Knight is a schizophrenic mix between Batman and Daredevil with all the powers of a Moon God and at his worse he’s a white hooded sidekick with no personality.
It’s interesting to see a team like Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev take on the character. I’ll certainly be putting it in my hold to see what all the hubbub is about.
From Marvel’s release:
Marvel 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!
