for the trade because the singles are a little
pricey for an 8 parter. It's Huston writing a
Moench character, come on! Hurwitz wrote
Foolkiller MAX, which i consider the worst comic
ever written. The dialogue is amazingly bad, the
protagonist uses the word fool up to 3 times a
sentence and most of the scenes are in a strip
club to point out that it is indeed a MAX title.
VotMK isn't close to the level of hack that
Foolkiller is, but he has it in him somewhere.

: I have to agree with the majority and state
: that Huston has had the best run with Moon
: Knight to date. I liked the Benson story
: arcs but feel that "The Death of Marc
: Spectre" was a tad over-hyped. Benson
: did create some very new and memorable MK
: characters that I cant wait to see again;
: notably Toltec & the Zapata Brothers.
:
: I am beginning to hate Hurwitz with a
: passion. I have never read any of his other
: works but I can't find anything
: complimentary to say about his run on V of
: MK. He either is a hack or does not respect
: the intelligence of the MK fans. I cannot
: wait until he goes off to another project
: and leaves MK to someone who understands the
: character and graphic storytelling.
:
: P.S.
:
: FYI Charlie Huston is now authoring a 7
: issue limited series with Deathlok. I just
: picked it up and have to say that it is
: really solid! He is doing for Deathlok what
: he did for MK. I highly recommend picking it
: up (its only up to issue 6 now):

: Out of those three, I'm going to go with
: Huston,
: not just because of his MK run: his novels
: are
: wildly entertaining as well. Moench will
: always
: be my favorite MK writer. He uses music and
: writes almost rhythmic stories sometimes,
: such as
: Hit It! (seriously, it must be read.) Also
: another thing Doug has going for him is how
: experimental the issues were. Some times he
: would
: do multi-issue arcs, sometimes a single
: issue
: would contain 3 shorter stories, pin ups,
: text
: intros, the whole nine yards. It seems now
: that
: you are lucky to get a single story done in
: 6
: issues, never-less getting several stories
: in a
: single issue. I really wish they would let
: up on
: this decompression thing and give us more
: story
: per page instead of an entire page where a
: door
: opens.

: Doug Moench is the best Moon Knight writer.
: Not only did he create the character, but he
: solidified all of the different
: characteristics of Moon Knight that makes
: him unique. His stories were spot on and had
: that perfect balance. Huston's "The
: Bottom" arc is next, but unfortunately
: it fell short at the end. I also liked
: Issues #13 and 20 of the last run, the first
: written by Huston and the later written by
: Huston/Benson. While I have liked something
: of every writer, those are my stand outs.

: Charlie Huston bought MK back to the Marvel
: Universe. His dark crime novel style was
: perfect for MK. Carving off Bushmans face
: and cutting crescent moons into his victims
: heads is what cought everyones eye and put
: MK back on the map. He was always crazy but
: Huston turned him into a psychopath.

: Of those choices, I think I might actually
: say
: Benson. I thought the God and Country arc
: was incredible and so was The Deth of Marc
: Spector. Back to back arcs that I loved.
: Houston was great too, though.

: Doug Moench?
:
: The guy who created him?
:
: It's always easier to build upon the work of
: others, but without Moench, there would be
: no Moon Knight.
