I just pretend the whole MK:Shadowland thing happened in a What If... universe. Marlene was never pregnant and Randall never returned from the dead (again) as a mutant with Cyclops' eye beams.

: Shadowland in general is probably for me the
: biggest disappointment I've seen in any arc
: from the last decade......

: If you start with the first appearance in
: Werewolf by Night and follow Moon Knight
: until the end of the first series, then jump
: to Resurrection War and High Strangers and
: then cut to the 4th series (the 2006-2009
: run) and the current book, you really get
: the best of Moon Knight's story. In that
: order, you get to see MK go from busting
: nameless or forgettable goons and one-shot
: villains to gradually battling his own
: rogues gallery before finally growing into a
: fighter of supernatural forces without
: getting into the hokey Fist of Khonshu-era
: MK with the ankh on his chest instead of a
: crescent.
:
: Some of Marc Spector: Moon Knight was good
: (The Trial of Marc Spector and Scarlet
: Redemption being two of the best stories
: from that run,) so you could add the first
: 30 issues of that series too. Everything
: after that (Shadow Knight, the Shadow
: Cabinet, the Hellbent, Seth Phalkon, etc.)
: was just stupid. Bendis' version of Moon
: Knight may have been misguided, and
: Vengeance of the Moon Knight may have been
: weak, but the stuff from the latter half of
: MS:MK was ####ing terrible. Also,
: Shadowland: Moon Knight was a colossal turd.

: Agreed, that's the first book of MK I ever
: read, and it remains my favorite. There was
: definitely some solid writing in the 2006
: run.

: Yes, I'm still lurking on this message board
: after all these years!
:
: I think that Moon Knight's character has
: simply not been dealt justice since the
: Huston/Finch run of years past. I miss the
: gritty, street level, rough and tumble Moon
: Knight. I think that the publication delays
: it faced is what killed the momentum it had
: enjoyed, and we've been left with an
: inferior MK since then.
:
: I don't know if Marvel really ever reads
: this message board, but for many fans (I'm
: sure), it's that hard core, in your face MK
: of years past that captures us. Bring him
: back.
