@hit_monkey: He's talked about having Moon Knight in the suit, yes. But again, Moon Knight is also wearing the classic costume in the preview art, which I have linked you to and someone else has helpfully posted in the thread. I'm not trying to argue that he won't be rocking the tux in the new series, just that there's no evidence of the classic look being retired. To the best of my knowledge, anyway; if you can point me to an interview where Ellis says "Nope, no classic suit ever, that time it shows up in the preview art is an optical illusion, bye," then please do so. But unless he's said something to that effect, I would assume Moon Knight's going to be using both costumes at different points.
Right you don't have to circle that part of the preview. We've all seen it. Lets look at though. Since you brought it up. Some blogger is looking at a jpeg on MK in his classic suit. That's not the Moon Knight of this series, it's just a picture on a computer. If anything its a reference to his classic costume. Which WON'T be his costume in this series. You know how I concluded this? I read this article - http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=49485. Where among other things, the guy drawing this series said this -
"That feeling is probably most prominent in the hero's new costume -- a more modern, streamlined twist on the classic crescent-shaped cape of Moon Knight's past. "Warren wanted to use the suit-and-tie look he established with Michael Lark in his 'Secret Avengers' run, so I just took that and ran with it," Shalvey noted. "I added little details; like crescent shapes in the buttons and crescent cuff-links. There's more design work that will feature later in the series and you'll see the crescent motif continued thoughout (the interior of his limo, for example) . As regards his physicality, I imagined him as a Joseph-Gordon Levitt or Ryan Gosling type; muscular, but lean in form-fitting attire. Stylish but powerful. He looks good, but can deliver a swift blow with ease. He walks crime riddled streets in a white suit, so I wanted him to look confident. I want him to have a swagger, as if he's constantly on a catwalk."
He also said in another interview here ( http://multiversitycomics.com/interviews/building-worlds-with-moon-knight-artist-declan-shalvey-interview/) that -
"I think Warren is re-approaching the concept of Moon Knight rather than just ‘updating’ him".
While none of that said, "Nope, no classic suit ever". It does however give you the distinct impression that Moon Knight will be wearing a different costume in this series. He doesn't even seem to be using the moon copter anymore. He rides around in a damn limo now. You think MK will be chauffeured around in a limo wearing that big ass cloak ect? Na, he's wearing that white suit number now.
The only mention of the classic costume is that jpeg of him in one panel and to me that seems to imply that he wearing it is past-tense. The only actually appearances of him in person in that preview is in the new costume. The jpeg panel means nada matey.
Everything else that has be garnered from the three interviews available online (and even that preview) point to him not wearing the classic costume for this series.
