Personally Ive not been a big fan of Bendis incarnation of the character - he took what was a fairly unique aspect of the character (his schizophrenia) and turned it into a silly gimmick. This was also some of the worst art Ive ever seen by Maleev.
I can honestly say ive enjoyed nearly every incarnation of the character more than this.

: I'm sorry also, but not for the same
: reasons. I feel Bendis has left no avenue
: for a new team to go. He took MK down a path
: with HIS avengers alter-egos instead of a
: different direction with MK's original and
: rightful alter-egos. There were so many
: directions he could have went that might
: have had possibilities for other writers to
: go, but I feel he left them at a dead end!
: And now because the graet Bendis couldn't
: make it work no one else will probably ttry
: for a loooong time. In other books,, how do
: you write him in without over looking his
: present state?
: --Previous Message--
: Well, I'm very sad. I think this bodes ill
: for MK. It basically indicates that he's
: not considered of capable of carrying his
: own title and I'd be very pleasantly
: surprised if he gets another push any time
: soon. Bendis ' ASSSASIN of MOON NKNIGHT'
:
: I'm sad also because I'm one of those who
: was able to look past the break with MK's
: history and enjoy this title in its own
: right. Actually, I really like it. I am
: going to savour the last three issues and
: wonder where Bendis would have taken it. I
: guess I'll also wonder whether given more
: time it might have developed more of a
: following.

: Short of buying 30,000 copies of each issue,
: I don't suppose there's much any of us here
: can do about it now!

: Ah well...

: i always have high hopes for Marc

: Knight.
:
: They cancelled a Taskmaster series with a
: lead character who had a tony stark goatee
: and a shitty entourage tv show. Marvel must
: lose money on comics.. i can only see this
: writing pushing readers away to other forms
: of more thought out entertainment.
:
: no one asked me but i believe an angle would
: be take it back to the werewolf bite. marc
: spector was wearing silver armour - it
: provides him supernatural abilities without
: a lycanthrope mutation . the personality
: disorder arose from a series of traumatic
: events. The Lycanthrope virus caused
: depersonalization and hallucinations
: (Khonshu is a justification for returning
: from the dead). Marc Spector is very
: intelligent. Have him grounded in a urban
: supernatural setting taking on werewolf
: street gangs, lesbian draculas, f_ck even
: have him punch out a few mummies that storm
: the set of his TV show. DO NOT REBOOT.
: REFINE. - BATMAN had a dog!

: The revival of Moon Knight a few years ago
: was why I got back into collecting comics
: after nearly 15 years, and every series I've
: bothered to collect has been cancelled

: Moon Knight is officially off the Secret
: Avengers team but, if he is, that reduces
: the amount of comics I collect to zero.
: Unless he makes some guest appearances or
: shows up on another team, I think I'm done
: with comics again. It's too bad. I held on
: through some of the worst writing and
: depictions of the character with Hurwitz
: and, like, half the Marc Spector: Moon
: Knight series in the 90's, but I was

:
: I think we'll see Moon Knight get a series
: again someday. Resurrection is kind of like

: So what happens now? They changed the Secret
