Thanks for your insight on the issue, it helped clear a little bit up do me. And the Bowler Boys, as you'd named them, they had a letter on their hats, anyone know what that is for?
Also, I'm real glad to read that you'll probably buy 17. MK needs support everyone, keep buying the issues. Would you rather have no MK? I'm buying them. We already lost Deadpool's monthly (as I cry in my corn flakes), gotta keep Moonie around!
I really liked the issue. Diggin the art, it's sorta old school. Black Spectre is a great character, good to see him back. The way that he snapped in 16 after being somewhat rehabilitated, and then finding himself in his dark alter ego was great scripting. He mirrors Marc in so many ways, as his character was invented to. Can't wait to see Werewolf and especially Morpheus back again! Morpheus's arc in the original MK issues 22 &23 were among the best ever. If ya'll haven't read them yet, you need to.

: Want Moon Knight to succeed as a title! Even
: have a banner submission from it:
:
: But overall did not care for this issue.
: There were okay spot elements and panels but
: hardly enough. The dialogue with 'Bushman',
: the delving into MK's working confines of
: the SHRA, and the effective narration
: describing the pros and cons of his
: restraint with street scum. These were the
: good parts.
:
: Stuff that couldve been done differently:
:
: Not a big fan of poser covers. Not sure how
: the red and yellow scheme substitued for
: B&W. Possibly include some context or even
: the Bowler Boys instead of the unclear chain
: symbolism. Add a blurb like 'BLACK SPECTRE'
: because, to be honest, didnt even know he
: was involved until checking the marvel.com
: site to link above. [D'oh! Just went to set
: up a link for the name Black Spectre and
: realize that Carson was.] And since this is
: make believe editting - put the Canadian and
: US price the same (if imagecomics.com can do
: it...)!
:
: Prev Page: not gonna go there.
:
: Appreciate the story intention to treat the
: reader with a sense of intelligence and
: familiarity. But this ongoing assumption
: that we'll know who's who has been very
: trying. Was not clear until rechecking the
: tiny far away shot that it was Carson with
: the long sideburn who killed the parole
: officer (not sure if same handler that gave
: Shrike a hard time). Throw in, at least MOST
: of, the names appearing! Even Frenchie and
: Marlene were not 100% recognizable these
: last few issues - unless obvious assumption
: is expected.
:
: Okay the split face is a Marvel trademark
: and worked well wearing plainclothes in the
: restaurant but for some reason seeing it
: done at the beginning with Marc in costume
: seemed just wrong. However, it may've been
: intended as the mind game.
:
: Still unclear about the whole switcheroo
: with Frenchie and Bob the Waiter sequence.
: And it seemed odd that Frenchie's
: whatshisname boyfriend, talking about the
: gym, showing up simultaneously. Not knocking
: Bob, here, as MK needs new supporting
: characters.
:
: Some guy looking at some picture goes walks
: into a museum. Okay, just now glimpse
: sideburns so it's undoubtedly Carson.
: Probably intentional but never was clear if
: the guy egging him in the museum was unnamed
: with no face on panel; so, can let that go
: in anticipation of a reveal. But his heart
: to heart with Marlene had no emotional
: impact since, until just reading Wikipedia
: now, had no idea what they were conflicted
: about.
:
: The Bowler Boys (might as well suggest/offer
: a name since they didnt get one - think it
: has a nice ring to it) were perfect foils
: for the enjoyable fight narration - but MK
: skipping, or was it running pulling up his
: pants, to the Mooncopter was not very
: flattering. Though, the fight was pure tough
: guy.
:
: Unclear was why Marc's pilot was being so
: suddenly insubordinate. Was it happenstance
: that MK was there to stop the Bowler Boys
: during their unexplained crime. Who Carson
: killed in the hospital.
:
: One pickle of a cliffhanger. Good Marvel
: moment. However, it reinforces need for more
: serious explanation how MK has evaded
: disciplinary action threatened with this and
: the maiming (where The Order got fired for a
: little celebratory social drinking).
:
: On the fence about getting #17 but will
: likely show the support.
