Moon Knight Joins the Initiative

I have always loved Moon Knight. In fact, of all the scripts and sequences I have done for submission, a few include Black Widow, one is Captain America, and several - many, in fact - are Moon Knight. Seems like every time I decide to "resurrect" and revamp an old character and submit it, someone beats me to it! Remind me to tell you about the entire summer I spent researching a new Blade idea to submit for a mini-series... they released the major motion picture like a year later! The last idea I had was to kill Aquaman - true story! Fast forward about six months... But no one's stealing my ideas; it just kind of seems to work that way for me, unfortunately. This incarnation of Moon Knight is at least as good as I could ever have hoped to accomplish and a must-read for all superhero fans, whether or not you dig Marc Spector.

This is an official Marvel press release:

He’s fought against the system, but now Moon Knight joins The Initiative in the special double-sized Moon Knight #13, by acclaimed novelist Charlie Huston and special guest artist Tomm Coker! After Iron Man makes him an offer he can’t refuse, Marc Spector decides to work with the government and he’ll do whatever it takes to get his registration card. But when he’s forced to undergo a revealing psychiatric evaluation, is there any way that anyone could find Moon Knight to be sane and fit for duty? Meanwhile, those whose lives have been touched during Charlie Huston’s acclaimed first year on Moon Knight evaluate their lives and set themselves down new paths, leading to a fiery conclusion!

“[Huston’s] dialogue and pacing mixes very well with the Moon Knight mythos,” exclaimed Jason Zwiker of PopMatters.com. “He can even wax eloquent on the madness and mayhem and give it a few kicks (right in the ribs, maybe breaking a few in the process) of slapstick.”

Packed with extra pages of story, Moon Knight #13 delves deep into the mind of Moon Knight, setting the stage for incoming writer Mike Benson’s (of HBO’s Entourage and Punisher MAX Annual fame) thrilling new direction for the series! How far will Moon Knight go to gain government clearance to fight crime? Find out in Moon Knight #13!
