Moon Knight #10 - Marvel


I gotta say, Charlie Huston, who writes this book, must seriously be on his stuff when it comes to Moon Knight history. I mean seriously. He's digging up stuff that either I forgot all about, or I just plain don't remember. This issue, in a confrontation with the Punisher, actually it's more of a team-up, kind-of, but
anybody who comes into contact with Moon Knight knows that it's going to end up being a confrontation. Anyways, in their confrontation, they delve in to the whole history between the Punisher and Moon Knight. Basically they both end up letting the other know that they're keeping an eye on them. Kind of the classic male posturing. Seeing who's swinging the biggest stick. But you know . . . with a deranged . . . psychotic . . . a little "off your nut" twist. I mean let's face it, neither of these guys are the poster child for emotional stability. Meanwhile, Midnight, Marc's former partner, and I don't mean that in a gay way, has got a serious hard-on about making Marc pay for the way he treated him in the past. And now, he's got just the enhancements to get the job done. But Marc has to do some legwork to try to find him. This issue Mico Suayan replaces David Finch as the artist. Talk about some hard shoes to step in to. Mico has a completely different style than David. But, is stuff is moody and dark. So he should be perfect for this series. The first issue he's on . . . is ok. It doesn't blow me away . . but it's good. Or course right now, so soon after his departure, I'm comparing him to David. But I have a feeling that after a few months, Mico's look for this book is going to be the norm. Well . . . . obviously it will. But I mean, the moodiness of his work is going to ingratiate him with the fans, I think, enough that he'll be the new standard. I may sound like I'm laying that on a bit heavy, but . . . I think it'll happen. Check back in a couple months and I'll tell you what I think by then. Meanwhile, enjoy the book, and make sure you have something light to read afterwards.
