Thought someone was impersonating MK - 'green' eye, freakish hand, bracelet bling. The cover is evocative - though still cant figure it's significance unless it's simply prelude to MK's countless 'victims' to come.
: First off, the art was unique, expressive,
: and really fit the mood of the book.
True. Solid effort. Some good panels and some not as good as the good ones. Very nice silent action layouts throughout escpecially in the middle around the winch/glide to the warehouse bust.
: I love the story. MK taking it to the streets is a
: great way to ease into a new arc.
Better than the last arc. First time the Bushman plot device was less intrusive though they really should have mentioned the delusion in some way, even if not in words. Also, they better resolve/absolve MK of his extreme visciousness. Punisher, Mr Terror, and Foolkiller are enough graphic anti-heroes to logically be walking around with their own series in this post-SHRA time.
: This business with Killer Shrike is going to be
: troublesome. Not only did Moonie beat down
: the wrong guy at the end of the issue, but
: Shrike was a member of the Thunderbolts (and
: may still be?).
Not to mention the disturbing scarring and maiming.
: If Stark was taking a "wait and see" approach
: to his registered lunatic dilemma, this is going to
: force him to act.
He looks 20 years younger here. On the one hand Tony's inter-title placement/whoring is good; on the other hand it undermines the integrity of his changing/bending decisions in regards to 'friends'. Regardless, the Registration Card angle is interesting. (Terrible headline title on his page. Too bad the other screens didn't have images like the Cap one.)
: Then again, Shrike's connection to the Thunderbolts may
: mean that Stark has acted, and is setting Moonie up.
: Just a thought.
Pretty sure all official connections to past memberships are null and void since the 50 States Initiative Teams were activated.
:
: All that being said, Benson did an alright
: job for a newbie.
Agreed.
: My biggest gripe with his
: writing was his inner monologue for MK. It
: seemed overly dramatic and cliche, and it
: left the character feeling a bit empty. I
: miss the clever grit we got from Huston, but
: I'm sure Benson will continue to improve.
Agreed. For example the opening was good though it seemed to start right in the middle of his narrating. Also, have come and gone with the title to more or less guess the identities of characters here but new readers would likely get into the story more with the characters more properly identified. 
: He did an excellent job considering this is
: only his second comic book.
Did not know that! Am cautiously optimistic of the new direction. Just checked out the cool interview and preview pages at
