Moon Knight: Lame No More

I legit had convos with my friends years ago when Marvel brought Moon Knight back for a solo series where we said, “Who is buying this book? My (african-American comrade) who is keeping this shit on the shelves? Who ever is buying Moon Knight probably liked Beast Master on UPN Sundays. Remember that shit? Who the fuck was watching that shit to keep it on the air yo? To me Moon Knight is the Beast Master (tv show) of comics. Yo… Things done changed tho. First we gotta mention how Brian “The Writer You Deserve and Need” Michael Bendis did a 12 issue run on Moon Knight where he was in LA fighting crime after that “Death of Moon knight” final arc of his new series. My friends it was glory. Bendis had him talking to Captain America, Spider-Man, and Wolverine as manifestations in his head and it was genius. He threw echo in there (killed her which was the only bad part) with plenty of moments where Marc didn’t know if he was really seeing people or not and that my friends is how you make Moon Knight interesting. Car chases, fighting, obscure villain that gives that work and gets that work. It was such a delicious read surely it can’t get better than that right?….
