    The Good

    Moon Knight is back! Moon Knight was a character I immediately gravitated to as soon as I first started reading/collecting comics. At first I never realized that he wasn't as "popular" as Spider-Man, Batman or the X-Men. As I read the new issues and back issues, I didn't care what anyone thought. But then I noticed each time a new series would start, it would soon come to an end. In his last series, which I did enjoy on some levels, he pretty much went insane. And, of course, it ended again. Sigh.

    When it was announced that Warren Ellis would be writing a new series, interest arouse among comic book readers. I couldn't help but start to smile. The penciled art by Declan Shalvey that was included with the announcement was amazing. To make it even better, Marvel later released some pages with colors by Jordie Bellaire. The anticipation over this series kept growing, along with a little trepidation. Could we finally be getting the Moon Knight series we've been waiting for?

    Based on this first issue, the answer appears to be yes.

    Right from the beginning, Ellis establishes who Moon Knight is. There is mention of his previous actions in LA and the added developments of Dissociative Identity Disorder (something I never fully felt comfortable with considering his past stories). The return of Detective Flint was also a welcome surprise. Ellis brings a great level of style, sophistication, and attitude to the character that makes his return a triumphant one. I am absolutely thrilled with this take on the character.

    Shalvey's art and Bellaire's colors make this incredible issue even better. There are different vibes going on with Moon Knight--different layers, and they are captured here beautifully. The story has just the right feel to bring Moon Knight back to the streets of New York City and Shalvey and Bellaire's work just makes me so happy.

    The Bad

    This is probably my most anticipated new series from the All-New Marvel NOW! batch. I've often been a little skeptical with each new series but this is the first time in a while I am completely confident in a new Moon Knight launch. Let's hope this creative team is attached to the series for some time.

    The Verdict

    There's been a lot of buzz and anticipation over the new MOON KNIGHT series. I am overjoyed with what Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey, and Jordie Bellaire have delivered with the first issue. New and old fans can easily jump into this series and Moon Knight's past hasn't been shoved aside in order to accommodate a fresh jumping on point. If you've been on the fence over adding another ongoing series to your pull list, reading this will convince completely. Get ready to enjoy a great new series.

    MOON KNIGHT #1 goes on sale Wednesday, March 5.

    I'm probably going to buy this is trade. All of the preview art I've seen here has been incredible, and I've been wanting to read a Warren Ellis comic for a while. I've only really read his novels.

    @ashr: That's the great thing about this issue. It does address everything from Bendis' 12 issues but it's not in a way that bogs down this new beginning. You get a good sense of who he is now and what he plans on doing in NYC.

    I can't tell you all how happy I am to see this much interest from everyone. I always felt like I was one of the few that cared about Moon Knight. It's great to see everyone getting as excited as I am.

    Definitely trying now to add Marvel to my pull list and I'm gonna skim this on Wed. This and COWL might end up replacing Nightwing and Forever Evil when they end. And if anything I'll swap JLD for Green Arrow

    A lot of people seem to be waiting for this book. Good. I get the feeling this'll have a long run. In fact, I'll call it now.

    The only reason this book will end is Ellis being finished the story he wanted to tell.

    @micah: it's simple really. @g_man goes into a comic shop and pretends to ask advice to keep the owner busy while @inferiorego and @undeadpool sneak in the back door and steal all the comics.

    Jordie is on this book too! She's like the Charles Soule of colorists, and I love her for that :D Really dig how MK does not have color, and everything else does (like a reverse Night of the Living Deadpool).
