Our new writer on this series seems to be trying to look in to some of the other aspects of our heroes (??) career. Mike Benson is the new writer, but Charlie Huston is still helping him with some of the plots. Mark Texiera comes on board as the new artist. I hope he sticks around for a while on this one. Of course he has Javier Saltares helping him. They seem to be the dynamic duo of late, as far as artistic teams go. Anyways, the story is taking the angle of what the community would think of having a vigilante out there that is as violent and ruthless as the Moon Knight. You have to admit, he is affective in striking fear in to the "bad-guys". But, does he cross the line? The community seems to think so, and so do most of his friends. They're all kind of distancing themselves from him right now. I'm sure they have to be thinking that he's going to self-explode any time now. What they don't realize is that a lot of this violence comes from the Bushman who has been haunting him since the beginning of this series. It seems that Marc let's the guy take control of him sometimes when he's in costume. Get some of the aggression out. As it were. There's also someone else coming back . . Carson. So far he's killed his PO, and he's met up with Marlene. She's actually scared of him, but I think he won her over a bit with his personality. At the end of the book, Marc's trying to help this little local bar that's being shaken' down by a local gang. He's seems to have taken them all down, but there's one sneaking up behind him. Ray's flying the plane and he does a strafing run, taking out the last guy. The problem is . . as Marc's standing in the street littered with fallen gang-members, and at least one dead, he's surrounded by police cars. The whole Bushman thing was kind of down-played a little bit this issue. Which I'm really glad of, because I actually really don't like that whole angle. But we'll just have to see how it all plays out. Anyways, I thought it was a pretty decent story, and of course you all know how much I like Mark and Javier when they're together. Let's just hope they stick around for a while.
