I'm wonder what peoples opinions are about hte last 2 series of moon knight (not counting the mini-series). Which series do you prefer, which version of moon knight (out of these 2) are better? and Why?

@comkid100: As much as I like Gregg Hurwitz he made moon knight more of a batman clone than any other writer who wrote moon knight. And if Bendis took away the "Avenger personalities" I would pick up his series. So neither I suppose.

I agree on both counts. Bendis' book would be great if it wasn't for the Avengers-in-my-head aspect, but the Vengeance MK was heading way too far down the Batman line.

@Danial79: And the lack of Stained glass scarlet sucks too.

@Danial79: whats wrong with the avengers thing though?

It's ridiculous and not fitting with the character. The only voice/vision Marc has ever had has been that of Khonshu, and that was only because Khonshu was the one who resurrected him. Marc isn't crazy.

you're totally right. i didn't even think about that until i read your post. i can't recall right now, but has this series even referenced Marc listening to Khonshu? or maybe Khonshu has kinda "left him" for a while as Marc was exploiting him for the television series.

@fuzzybunny566: I can't remember Khonshu being mentioned outside of the TV show. Perhaps he was killed by Wolverine :)

a slight change of question how would you react to him becoming a punisher-like character? WOuld you prefer him to "batman clone" (a term i think NEVER reflected moon knight as a character)?

@comkid100: I think he is more suited to the Punisher role seeing as he was resurrected to seek vengeance in Khonshu's name and all.

Current series really has my intrigue. I actually enjoy all the Captain America, Spider-Man, Wolverine, etc.. shenanigans.

New Series> Old Series. Its just more interesting, flat out. Moon Knights never been cooler. Can Batman pertend to be the Justice League? I think not. This is the exact crazy this character needs to stand out and stand on his own.

What I don't like about Bendis-Knight was when MK was dressing up as the other heroes and mimicking their fighting styles. I think that ticked off a lot of MK fans. Since he has not done that since issue 2 (I think?) I have been tolerating the series, but it has heavy dialogue at times which annoys me.

With VOMK, it seemed like Hurwitz had a set plan for MK (battling Khonshu, pregnant Marlene, Marc's brother, getting his rep back with other heroes, etc) and it showed after the Bushman arc that he had little time to flesh these ideas out. It was a shame he was given no time to execute these ideas properly.

I really looked forward to getting each issue of VOMK when it came in the mail. I still have 2 or 3 Bendis-Knight issues on my comic stack just collecting dust sadly.

Same. It's just tolerable since he hasn't done that in a while. And the overwritten dialogue is just something that comes with any Bendis book that we just have to deal with unfortunately.

i definitely prefer the MK series now, but the VOTMK series wasn't THAT bad, kind of good to see MK take on more of a heroic approach like the good ole days

The current moon knight series is a farce

@spiderbat87: aren't all comics?
