@jonny_anonymous: Every iteration has its fans, so I'm glad you're getting something out of this one. Even though I only discovered Moon Knight in 2008 or so, I much more enjoy his classic stories with his "team" and Lockley/Grant guises. It's possible we'll never see them again, but I can always hope :)
@jonny_anonymous: I agree that the tone was different, but again, that could have been achieved without a new costume. I never noticed a change in his behavior or personality though. Can you give an example?
@jonny_anonymous: It's just unnecessary. Everything he did in that suit he could have done in the regular costume. When Ellis first created the Mr Knight costume it was because they were in a casino and he was already wearing the white suit, so just put a hood on, but then in the latest series it's had no purpose. He did his usual stuff... just wearing a suit. You could literally take every panel of that comic and redraw it with the usual costume and it would make no difference.
@jonny_anonymous: Oh, and I'd like to see some of his rogues make an appearance too. Scarlet or Morpheus or Profile or even Bushman. And most of all, I want Marlene and Frenchie back! I actually like their mini-team more than just MK flying solo.
@jonny_anonymous: Anything but more "Mr Knight" or "Avengers-in-my-head". I don't understand why writers feel they need to completely remake an already awesome character.
I stopped reading the current/most recent series at #14, so I just have a question for those that have kept up: Have Marlene or Frenchie returned? They were in an early issue where Marlene mentioned changing her surname, but I'm wondering if they came back as regular cast at all?
Fiery redhead with an arrow weapon, obsessed with the hero for saving her, calling him her "lover". Besides the absent religious overtones, that sounds a lot like Scarlet to me :)
Though I agree wholeheartedly that Scarlet is a much more interesting character in all. She's easily one of my favourite MK villains.
Don't know if any of you watch Arrow, but I've been playing catch-up recently and just caught the episode with Cupid. Throughout the entire thing I just found myself thinking, "That's Stained Glass Scarlet!" :P
