Moon Knight #9 - Marvel


This guy, Marc Spector, is one sick dude. This issue the new Midnight, Jeff Wilde, Marc's once side-kick, comes after him. He's been leaving dead bodies all over town, with a ton of clues, hoping that Marc would come after him. But Marc's been to busy to actually take up that crusade right now. So, Midnight got tired of waiting and decided to come after him. Jeff's father was the original Midnight Man. While fighting Moon Knight he was killed. Moon Knight didn't kill him, but his son still blamed him for it. So now he's a cyborg. Half machine, half man. But my guess is that he's mostly machine. And he's filled with hatred for Marc. So basically he comes to him to call him out. He tells him he wants him to get his team together and come looking for him. He'll be in town, and he wants Marc to find him by Midnight. So Marc gets his pilot, gets the Moon Plane out, and goes looking for him. It doesn't take him long to find where the trouble is, but by the time he gets there, Punisher is there also. Which leads us in to our next issue. Charlie Huston is still writing this book, so it still has the same feel that it's had since the beginning. But now Mico Suayan is on the pencils. He's no David Finch, but he does have a pretty good style. I hate to judge him this early in to his work, so I'll probably wait an issue or 2 before I tell you how I really feel about the creative change. In the meantime, Moon Knight is still a fantastic character. And this month we get him over in the Ultimate Spider-man book also.
