New MOON KNIGHT Creative Team Announced

>>94717712
Not interested.

>>94717712
>artist Jacen Burrows (Crossed, Providence)
Marvel keeps hiring bottom of the barrel artists, I see?

>>94717712
Foolkiller was one of my favorite things to come out of Marvel in years. I'm hype for this.

>>94717712
I'll read it when it gets posted on here for Burrows, don't know anything about Bemis

Foolkiller and Centipede have both been great, so I'm hyped for this.

>>94717739
I actually like him on Providence but yeah, not sure how that'll work on a cape book. OP's cover is fine enough.

>>94717712
BEMIS???? FUGGG :DDD

>>94717712
>Bemis/Burrows
Huh. That's actually way better than I expected. I guess I'll add this to my pull-list afterall. Burrows is no Smallwood, but he's a solid artist, and I've been impressed by everything Bemis has written so far.

>>94717712
Foolkiller was fantastic, very excited for this

>>94717768
Providence is an Alan Moore book, but the guy will always be more popular for Crossed.

>>94717768
>Foolkiller and Centipede have both been great
>>94717788
>Foolkiller was fantastic
Then why was it cancelled?

>>94717755
Foolkiller was one of the best Marvel minis in years. Worst X-man Ever was alright. It was mostly just meta-commentary on the X-men but it was good for what it was.

>>94717712
>Bemis
Picked up.

>>94717799
Because foolkiller is a very obscure character.

>>94717712

I hope that they keep Mr. Knight.

>>94717799
>Then why was it cancelled?
Same reason Flinstones, Nova, Ultimates, Prez, and countless other great books were cancelled. Because quality has nothing to do with sales and hasn't for decades.

>>94717830
2edgy4me, Ellis.

>>94717831
But Flintstones and Prez are truly good.

>>94717799
>Then why was it cancelled?

Obscure character, spin-off of the already overextended Deadpool line during a tepidly received relaunch where every single title underperformed or took heavy sales drops.

>>94717872
That's a good answer, thank you.

>>94717862
>But Flintstones and Prez are truly good.
And how do you know Foolkiller wasn't? Checkmate, autist.

>>94717799
Good = Popularity, come the fuck on anon.

jacen burrows is trash, the only good thing he did was providence and that's mostly because of Alan Moore's monster sized scripts

>>94717712
I'm guessing the dude at the top of the building is the "greatest nemesis" and will actually be an enemy of Khonsu, not Marc. If they're going for really simple dualism he'll be Ra or some other God of the Sun. Although the eye would indicate Horus.

>>94717830
Mr Knight was a fun gimmick but was ultimately a pretty shallow addition to the character

pretty much defines all of Ellis' contribution to the character. At least he washed the filth of Bendis away completely and had a few fun stories

>>94717862

Well, that's Moon Knight for you. Or atleast on of his personalities.

>>94717941
Marc just killed Khonshu though so that's probably NOT the case

>Bemis Moon Knight
>Cates Doctor Strange
>Aaron Avengers
>Waid Captain America
I'm picking up more than I expected for Legacy.

>>94717984
>implying you can escape the moon madness
That said, maybe it's a bro of Khonsu's out for revenge.

Hopefully this run won't be insipid, inconsequential bullshit like most of his recent stuff, especially his last book

I have faith in the writer though, Foolkiller was very introspective and meaningful and a very good character study. Something which MK has been desperately seeking for a while now

>>94717960
The kids of today should defend themselves against the nineties.

>>94718007
>Cates
The fool. He will eventually have to move to DC to chad up.

>>94717984
Because characters in comics, especially gods and those whose existence is tied into the perception of an unreliable and insane character, always stay dead. And there's no way they would introduce someone who would go after Moony because of a grudge against Khonsu if he's dead.

It was the 2000s. Was a pretty wild run.

>>94718114
>the 2000s
Oh, that's even worse.

>>94718077
The kids of today shouldn't post in a site for adults.

>>94718065
I think Foolkiller gets slightly over-repped given it pulls a lot of stuff from one of the Crossed stories he did about two brothers, one of whom is a psychologist with a sinister secret. BUT it was still a good take on the character, well paced, well developed and not afraid to make things happen.

I think Moon Knight is a great pick after Foolkiller because it's another vigilante character who goes too far and is sort of broken as a person by it.

>>94718094
Well, DC does enjoy picking up Marvel's trash after they're done with it...

>>94717862
>But Flintstones and Prez are truly good.
And they still got cancelled, retard. Sales never dictate quality.

Max bemis the singer from say anything?

>>94718109
Oh I'm certain Khonshu will be back but at least for like one arc he'll be gone

>>94718259
And marvel fags have no standards

Time to drop Moon Knight, I see. I mean it hasn't been particularly good before, but at least the art's been fantastic. Who would do shadows and light better than Greg Smallwood, but no, we get the guy from ''Crossed'', right? Not interested. Anyway, I'm sure Greg's busy doing other books, but Moon Knight was a great fit for him.

What about the writer? Can someone tell me if he's any good?

>>94718739
Read the fucking thread, you massive faggot.

>>94718739

>>94718739
>Time to drop Moon Knight
How can you drop a comic you're not currently buying or reading?

>Yet ANOTHER shitty Moon Knight run.
Why do I think they're making a Netflix series?

>>94718880
They want to.

>>94718880
Kill yourself, you dumbass tripfag. Bemis is decent.

sounds boring but will give it a try
decent team i guess, still not better than the last one

>>94718880
because thats what everyone and their mother wants so marlel is just playing with our feelings

>>94718880
Because they are.

>>94718880
I've kind of come around to the idea of tripfags considering they're the worst people on this website and having a trip allows me to filter them specifically

>>94718905
>decent
That's not enough. A Marvel comic is 4 bucks already, you know.

Why is it always DC fans that shit up Marvel threads?

The 60s?

>>94718988
Nice strawman, faggot. I've always been against console wars, the idea that you have to pick a side is fucking retarded.

>>94718988
>>When Marvel starts dropping the ball
Marvel has been DOMINATING for the past 2 months and has been on top for another 2. Keep up.

>>94719099
All those sales threads say otherwise

>>94717830
I think he's on to something there.

I don't know much about Bemis, but if it's better than Lemire's boring shit it might be worth looking into.

>Moon Knight vs. the Crossed

>"Khonsu" can also be understood to mean "king's placenta", and consequently in early times, he was considered to slay the king's (i.e. the pharaoh's) enemies, and extract their innards for the king's use, metaphorically creating something resembling a placenta for the king. This bloodthirsty aspect leads him to be referred to, in such as the Pyramid texts, as the "(one who) lives on hearts".

Bemis and a Crossed artist are perfect for this. Expect as much gore as they can get without going MAX.

In that case, fine.

ILU Cranky

>>94719774
To be fair Foolkiller, was one of the few Marvel books outside of Punisher with a 'MA' rating on it

>>94717712
Not bad.
I guess I'll give a try and read the first two issues.

>>94719563
What a fucking waste of Kurt.

>>94720097
Agreed. That pissed me off. I loved Gerber's mini series with Kurt and thought the character still had potential.

>>94717712
That cover looks like it could be for one of avatar's random edgy comics that nobody read but it could be good. The fact they are numbering issues like that will trigger me to no end though.

>>94721719
>That cover looks like it could be for one of avatar's random edgy comics that nobody read
Gee, it's almost like that cover was done by an artist known for doing random edgy comics for Avatar.

>>94717712
>Max Bemis
Weird. I've only heard good things about one of his books and keep forgetting his Foolkiller book was a thing that existed far longer than it should have.

>>94717712
Is that the fucking eye of ra?
Ra tops khonsu. This isn't even up for debate.

>>94718522

lol seriously?
you also think all rap music is the same huh

>>94717712
Another Moonie series that's gonna get cancelled after 12 issues because sales re gonna be cancerous garbage.
Oh well...

>>94722986
While you're right that Ra tops Khonshu, that is actually the eye of Horus, the god of the sun.

>>94725715
Sorry about that misinformation, decided to read up a little bit of Egyptian mythology. Horus is actually a god of the sky, Ra is the sun God.

I hope the same... or at least the black and white Moon Knight outfit... I don't like the full white Moon Knight unless it's Mr. Knight.

>>94727639
Shit taste.

>>94727639
The cover would say that outfit won't be featured.

Which is good.

>>94717712
i wonder how Trump is a racist in this one?

>>94719285

Marvel has more incentive based discounts than DC... to the point its sometimes cheaper to order 75 copies of one issue than it is to order 50.

Marvel does a lot more incentive based variants that require 150%-200% of the numbers of a random issue from 2-3 months prior to the FOC date.

Marvel sends double-shipping constantly to prop up numbers (Hello Hawkeye, GotG, America)

Marvel has a subscription box (it's why Peter Parker Spectacular Spider Man sold 250K units a month or two ago)

Yeah, they have the market share, but it's a mirage.

>>94727654
>>94727672

Well, fuck you guys.

>>94727729
It's not terrible but it reminds me of the 90s red/blue DD armored costume. That's not good memory association.

>>94727770

it doesn't look that much more armored than the usual Batman suit.

>>94718007
>>Cates Doctor Strange

I want this to be good but I somehow feel like it'll just be movie Strange and Cates talent will be sapped away for mediocrity

>its actually going to be Loki as Sorcerer Supreme

...still not thrilled. Marvel has a way of killing talent

>>94727711
Not to mention having a higher publishing output than DC

>>94717799
Nobody actually buys comics.

>>94717712

Worst X-Man ever was kind of so-so but Foolkiller was great, and while Jacen Burrows is a bit of an acquired taste, I can see it suiting Moon Knight well. I'll give it a go.

>>94727672

I don't think that's a guarantee. In recent years MK has under each different writer had FREQUENT costume changes, as the mood or moment dictates. I could easily see him making use of more than just the one on the cover there.

>>94717712
Hehehe Bemis :DDDDD

>>94719051
are you a goldfish? Or do you not remember DC hate threads when the New 52 was around?

Hell actually faggot do you remember 2014-15? The two year period when both DC and Marvel was utter fucking shit before Rebirth rolled around to redeem DC.

>>94731774
DCYou was great and those hate threads were just made by contrarian faggets on the internet while business was going well. Rebirth was a mistake.

>>94717755
Bemis is one of the best new writers Marvel's picked up the last few years. Kind of a shame he's on a character I don't care about, he should be writing Generation X over Strain, but good for him nonetheless. He deserves bigger books so this is a nice first step.

>>94717712
Bemis is a very funny author.

Moon Knight is a dead serious character.

Moon Knight has had 3 fantastic runs in a row.

Do you mean 4? Because Ellis was the best and it was 4 runs ago.

>>94734936
Ellis, Bunn, and then Lemire?

Who did I miss?

>people are not excited at Burrows drawing a Moon Knight comic

Why? Are these the same plebs that hate Del Mundo's artwork?

C-can we just get the weekend Moon Knight threads back? Ledouche, if you're around, it's been a sad month without your storytimes.

>>94727639
I agree, I really like the Shalvey design. MK is typically an artist showcase book. I'm not interested in a Jacen Burrows showcase.

>>94735197
I like Del Mondo's art, but am not really bought by Burrows. I usually don't like how it's colored, or the fact that it lacks a lot of shading work.

But I will read, and am hoping for a good colorist who adds lighting contrast to his work.

>>94736603
Fair critique. It's a jarring change between Smallwood, who effectively employed blacks and heavy contrast to Burrows line-work only style.
