Is Moon Knight now an ongoing series?

[Khonshu]

Yesterday afternoon, I received my Pulse newsletter from Marvel which included a link to a new Moon Knight #1 wallpaper. I clicked on the link and to my surprise on the bottom of the wallpaper it states Moon Knight #1 Moon Knight- A new ongoing series coming April 2006.

I searched the internet to see if there was an announcement and found nothing. Has the Moon knight 6 issue mini series graduated to an ongoing series or is this just a typo?

Well it be great if it were on ongoing..but I'm thinking it was simply a typo!

[Cayman]

Yeah, probably a typo unless they've got someone lined up to follow Huston's six-issues.

Witch version of MK is this?
The old good one with multiple personalitys from early 80s or the more boring standard superhero MK from the end of 80s?

I want him to be traveling around and solve mysteries, not fight supervillians all the time after standard superhero script 1A.

Moon Knight is one of my favorite Marvel characters but some newer comics with him has been very disapointing imho.

And give him back extra powers when the moon is rise, he has not got to be a total Batman copy.

From the interviews I have read about this series, it is a much more bad azz version of the Moon Knight, that nobody in the entire Marvel Universe will want to mess with.

From all the interviews Charlie Huston has given, this MK is one step short of being totally bugshit insane from the multiple personalities. And given the images from the previews, I believe it.

[Agentum]

hehe, i hope it is good then, he was like that in the first series.

If you want a crazy and violent Moon Knight, this is your book ;) .

This looks to be a book I will definitely enjoy, and those preview pages look amazing...
This and the Spider-Woman ongoing are my two most anticipated books of 2006, bar none.

Man, that's some awesome artwork. I'm looking forward to it.

I am very pleased by the art, I really get the feeling that David is putting his heart and soul into this and it's looks to be some of his best work to date. I like the flow of the panels, it makes me feel that even without any action on these pages the fear invoked by Moon Knight to this thug is chilling. I get the feeling that there is going to be some really cool "Dirty Harry" type dialogue in these pages. At this point my only concern visually is the coloring. ;)

2 little flags pop up for me after reading the Joe Quesada interview and seeing these pages; I like the idea of Moon Knight being a baddass, however you can cross that fine line and make him into a Punisher with silver and jet costume. That is not who Moon Knight is. I understand that he is the kind of character that will fight dirty and do what is necessary to win, but he is not a killing machine. That fine line is drawn by the fact that Marc Spector as Moon Knight is trying to redeem his life as a mercenary and he would not be attempting to do so by running around and killing everyone. The other concern I have are the cetus spikes, Moon Knight has only ever used these twice in his career and both times were at moments were he he felt he needed that edge. Fighting the Werewolf by night and against the Black Spectre, who had torn Moon Knight's world down around him and had beaten him in every aspect of his life. To see him putting these on to confront a couple of thugs is rediculous and, to me, takes away from the badass factor because if he feels he needs to use them to take on a couple hoodlums he is not that badass. I know David Finch told me that the cetus spikes were going to be utilized in this 6 issue storyline and I expressed my concerns to him and he assured me that they would not be trivial in their use and that he will need to use them in this story. So, I am back to being a tad bit concerned again.

I am just as excited now for a kick ass Moon Knight ongoing series just as I have been for the last 20 years . I'm elated Marvel is allowing the opportunity for this character to shine as he so deserves to and tp raise his "B" or "C" list status character to a possible "A" list character. I have my fingers crossed.
