Moon Knight #13 - Marvel

This issue was ok. Basically what Charlie Huston has to do here is try to wrap up any hanging story-lines to kind of clear the slate for the new creative team next issue. It's going to consist of Mike Benson, Mark Texeira and Javier Saltares. I hope this doesn't mean that they won't be doing Ghost Rider any more. I would really hate to see that happen. As much as I like this character, I would rather see Mark and Javier there than here. If they can do both books . . great. But if I had a choice . . I'd choose Ghost Rider. Anyways, Tomm Coker fills in as the penciller on this issue. There's going to be an annual coming out here in November. Then we'll have to wait until January for the first new issue, which will be #14. I'm glad they aren't restarting it with #1. Anyways, first of all Marc has to go through his psych-evaluation for his registration. But he does his homework. We don't really know what he's doing ahead of time, but we find out he's been spying on his evaluator. Classic! So when he goes in to talk to him, he starts out calm and rational. Which really puts his evaluator off guard. Then his evaluator tries to trick him, with the moon, thinking that it still triggers his powers. Marc puts on a brilliant act. He convinces him that he has 3 different personalities, Marc, Jake Lockely and Steven Grant. Then when he really has him flipping out, he makes him think that Khonshu has taken over his consciousness. And with the homework he did, he psychs him out. Has him trembling on his knees actually. He never wants to see him again, so he registers him automatically. "You're registered as an independent. No SHIELD or government affiliation. There's less, um, oversight that way. And that should be the last we need to meet." We also see that his previous affiliates, Frenchie and Marlene are being drawn back to him. Probably to put everyone in place so the new creative team can do with them as they see fit. The part I really liked about this book, is this should be the last tie in with the Initiative. With this issue, Marc should be completely autonomous from that storyline. Finally! I really like this book, and I can't wait for it's return in January. I just hope it's a little less . . . convoluted.
