There is another thread about this somewhere on here but you're right, he is awesome!
Cool costume, cool gadgets and weapons. Also, the fact that he's bat$h!t insane makes him really interesting...

I have to agree, Moon Knight is one of my top 3 favorite characters. He needs some footing here and there, more definite wins post debuff, a better rogue gallery, and some loose ends with Profile(who I think should be one of his major villains) should be tied up. Hopefully some of this will be spotlighted in Vengeance. I was also wondering of the possibility that he could lead the Dark Avengers after Osborn's downfall, if only because I approve of the relationship between him and Sentry. I'd also like to see his reaction to Franken Castle, I always thought they had an intriguing relationship as well. The Punisher seems to be slightly more open to Moon Knight than he is to many heroes, there's definitely an uncomfortable sort of kinship. The possibilities are all there, hopefully Moon Knight has a bright future ahead of him.

I love Moon Knight. I have his entire last series and enjoyed picking it up every time it came out. I can not wait til his new series comes out next week.

I love Moon Knight. He is such an awesome character, and he is in my favorite area of the MU. That "stree level" area where its like Daredevil, Punisher, Moon Knight. Those are my faves. I cant wait for the new Moon Knight series. I subscibed to it a couple weeks ago when Marvel had that 3 for $39 deal.

Ever since he decided to redeem himself from his past as "Marc Spector" he decided to rename himself in different characters, the one that got my attention most is "Steven Grant", the name of a writer who did some stories in volume 1 starting with issue #27

Moon Knight is one of those characters that seems an unlikely fit in with the big Marvel U. He has many similarities to the top street level players but also has his own dark mystical side. He works well in a Midnight Sons type setting. He's a hard character to fully grasp and fit in but that isn't a bad thing...it's kind of his thing as a character too. The MK titles seem to get some good buzz going from the start but never anything that fully maintains a consitent run. Maybe this will be the time.

Moon Knight is the greatest. Earlier this year I finally completed all his old series when I finally tracked down a good copy of Marc Spector: Moon Knight #55.

Cannot wait for Vengeance to start and hopefully MK will carve out a more prestigious place in the Marvel U.

He IS a great character. I've always loved mythology-based heroes. I would love to see a live-action film, but would be more than happy for a Pixar-styled animated movie as well. Here's hoping...

I've always liked Moon Knight. He's a visually fun character, and I think he's overall a very very underrated character.

I picked up Essential Moon Knight volume 1 from Amazon. I LOVE IT. He doesn't seem crazy yet, but he makes a lot of foreshadowing comments.

Some see MK as just an ersatz Batman, but to me they're very different. MK uses his various identities more, is willing to be more violent, and has different motivation. Not to mention the whole Khonshu mystic thing.

I always thought of Moon Knight as a system. More often than not, it's a group of people working together to stop crime under Spector's Moon Knight avatar. Marlene, Frenchie, Crawley, etc have played huge roles in Moon Knight's previous successes, I could say for a time they were just as much of Moon Knight as he was, and it seems to be a lot harder for Specter/Lockley now that they've all pushed him aside a little.

Granted, who needs friends when you've got a buttload of new gadgets and something to prove?
