Writer Max Bemis (X-Men: Worst X-Man Ever, Foolkiller) and artist Jacen Burrows (Crossed, Providence) were just announced as the new team taking over MOON KNIGHT with #188
Here's the solicit;
>MOON KNIGHT #188 & 189 >MAX BEMIS (W) • JACEN BURROWS (A/C) >CRAZY RUNS IN THE FAMILY Parts 1 & 2 >A new day is dawning and with it comes an enemy unlike any that Marc Spector, Moon Knight, has ever faced. Moon Knight has always been a protector from the shadows, but this new enemy is looking to extinguish that shadow with blinding light and fire. Get ready for the introduction of Moon Knight’s greatest nemesis!
>artist Jacen Burrows (Crossed, Providence) Marvel keeps hiring bottom of the barrel artists, I see?
Angel Sullivan
Foolkiller was one of my favorite things to come out of Marvel in years. I'm hype for this.
John Sanders
I'll read it when it gets posted on here for Burrows, don't know anything about Bemis
Oliver Garcia
Foolkiller and Centipede have both been great, so I'm hyped for this.
I actually like him on Providence but yeah, not sure how that'll work on a cape book. OP's cover is fine enough.
John Thompson
BEMIS???? FUGGG :DDD
Elijah Murphy
>Bemis/Burrows Huh. That's actually way better than I expected. I guess I'll add this to my pull-list afterall. Burrows is no Smallwood, but he's a solid artist, and I've been impressed by everything Bemis has written so far.
Austin Stewart
Foolkiller was fantastic, very excited for this
Caleb Taylor
Providence is an Alan Moore book, but the guy will always be more popular for Crossed.
>Foolkiller and Centipede have both been great >Foolkiller was fantastic Then why was it cancelled?
Ryder Robinson
Foolkiller was one of the best Marvel minis in years. Worst X-man Ever was alright. It was mostly just meta-commentary on the X-men but it was good for what it was.
Elijah Allen
>Bemis Picked up.
Landon Williams
Because foolkiller is a very obscure character.
Chase Butler
I hope that they keep Mr. Knight.
Tyler Rodriguez
>Then why was it cancelled? Same reason Flinstones, Nova, Ultimates, Prez, and countless other great books were cancelled. Because quality has nothing to do with sales and hasn't for decades.
Leo Robinson
2edgy4me, Ellis.
But Flintstones and Prez are truly good.
Chase Price
>Then why was it cancelled?
Obscure character, spin-off of the already overextended Deadpool line during a tepidly received relaunch where every single title underperformed or took heavy sales drops.
Julian Perry
That's a good answer, thank you.
Ethan Campbell
>But Flintstones and Prez are truly good. And how do you know Foolkiller wasn't? Checkmate, autist.
Christian Myers
Good = Popularity, come the fuck on user.
Jack King
jacen burrows is trash, the only good thing he did was providence and that's mostly because of Alan Moore's monster sized scripts
Jace Butler
I'm guessing the dude at the top of the building is the "greatest nemesis" and will actually be an enemy of Khonsu, not Marc. If they're going for really simple dualism he'll be Ra or some other God of the Sun. Although the eye would indicate Horus.
Liam Robinson
Mr Knight was a fun gimmick but was ultimately a pretty shallow addition to the character
pretty much defines all of Ellis' contribution to the character. At least he washed the filth of Bendis away completely and had a few fun stories
Isaiah Morales
Well, that's Moon Knight for you. Or atleast on of his personalities.
William Hill
Marc just killed Khonshu though so that's probably NOT the case
Jonathan Ortiz
>Bemis Moon Knight >Cates Doctor Strange >Aaron Avengers >Waid Captain America I'm picking up more than I expected for Legacy.
Jordan Stewart
>implying you can escape the moon madness That said, maybe it's a bro of Khonsu's out for revenge.
Brayden Wood
Hopefully this run won't be insipid, inconsequential bullshit like most of his recent stuff, especially his last book
I have faith in the writer though, Foolkiller was very introspective and meaningful and a very good character study. Something which MK has been desperately seeking for a while now
Anthony Jackson
The kids of today should defend themselves against the nineties.
Jaxson Martinez
>Cates The fool. He will eventually have to move to DC to chad up.
Brody Murphy
Because characters in comics, especially gods and those whose existence is tied into the perception of an unreliable and insane character, always stay dead. And there's no way they would introduce someone who would go after Moony because of a grudge against Khonsu if he's dead.
Matthew Morales
It was the 2000s. Was a pretty wild run.
Levi Hughes
>the 2000s Oh, that's even worse.
Gabriel Campbell
The kids of today shouldn't post in a site for adults.
Jeremiah Howard
I think Foolkiller gets slightly over-repped given it pulls a lot of stuff from one of the Crossed stories he did about two brothers, one of whom is a psychologist with a sinister secret. BUT it was still a good take on the character, well paced, well developed and not afraid to make things happen.
I think Moon Knight is a great pick after Foolkiller because it's another vigilante character who goes too far and is sort of broken as a person by it.
Owen Wood
Well, DC does enjoy picking up Marvel's trash after they're done with it...
Jayden Martin
>But Flintstones and Prez are truly good. And they still got cancelled, retard. Sales never dictate quality.
Anthony Kelly
And they recycle it into something good.
Isaiah Foster
I hope you're not being serious with that pic because it's a shoop
Jace Russell
Nah, dc boys just have lower standards.
Nathan Reyes
OK.
Jason Sanchez
Then tell Marvel to stop plagiarizing them, dude.
Charles Ward
See, that's real, but the Whedon pic isn't.
Lucas Barnes
Max bemis the singer from say anything?
Daniel Murphy
Oh I'm certain Khonshu will be back but at least for like one arc he'll be gone
Levi Barnes
And marvel fags have no standards
Jaxon Rodriguez
Same guy, he's been writing comics for a handful of years now
Jaxson Edwards
Take it to Sup Forums, fags.
Zachary Adams
So Marvel wants the Gerard Way audience?
Easton Martin
Isn't the lead singer of Say Anything named Max Bemis?
Chase White
Oh fuck, that's cool as shit. I loved ...is a Real Boy
Brody Howard
Same guy, yes.
Kevin Ross
Bit of a difference between Say Anything and MCR m8.
Jackson Cox
Thanks for the info, Sup Forums.
Jason Bailey
Time to drop Moon Knight, I see. I mean it hasn't been particularly good before, but at least the art's been fantastic. Who would do shadows and light better than Greg Smallwood, but no, we get the guy from ''Crossed'', right? Not interested. Anyway, I'm sure Greg's busy doing other books, but Moon Knight was a great fit for him.
What about the writer? Can someone tell me if he's any good?
Liam Torres
Read the fucking thread, you massive faggot.
Henry Roberts
read the fucking thread
Justin Hill
>Time to drop Moon Knight How can you drop a comic you're not currently buying or reading?
Eli Morris
>Yet ANOTHER shitty Moon Knight run. Why do I think they're making a Netflix series?
John Jones
They want to.
Ryan Jenkins
Kill yourself, you dumbass tripfag. Bemis is decent.
Samuel Collins
sounds boring but will give it a try decent team i guess, still not better than the last one
because thats what everyone and their mother wants so marlel is just playing with our feelings
Michael Diaz
Because they are.
Easton Martinez
I've kind of come around to the idea of tripfags considering they're the worst people on this website and having a trip allows me to filter them specifically
Jacob Russell
>decent That's not enough. A Marvel comic is 4 bucks already, you know.
>user discovers fire
Noah Barnes
Jesus fucking christ people, stop giving tripfags (you)s
Nathaniel Scott
>When Marvel was king >hurrr DC is finished >When Marvel starts dropping the ball >c-console war fags back away from my board
Elijah Barnes
Why is it always DC fans that shit up Marvel threads?
Wyatt Ortiz
>When Marvel was king The 60s?
Luis Ross
Nice strawman, faggot. I've always been against console wars, the idea that you have to pick a side is fucking retarded.
Noah Lee
>>When Marvel starts dropping the ball Marvel has been DOMINATING for the past 2 months and has been on top for another 2. Keep up.
Chase Taylor
All those sales threads say otherwise
William Roberts
I think he's on to something there.
Hunter Allen
I don't know much about Bemis, but if it's better than Lemire's boring shit it might be worth looking into.
Jack Peterson
>Moon Knight vs. the Crossed OK.
Nolan Sanchez
Are you living under a rock?
Jordan Gomez
>shilling Diamond Are you this desperate to earn your monthly cent?
Andrew Gomez
>"Khonsu" can also be understood to mean "king's placenta", and consequently in early times, he was considered to slay the king's (i.e. the pharaoh's) enemies, and extract their innards for the king's use, metaphorically creating something resembling a placenta for the king. This bloodthirsty aspect leads him to be referred to, in such as the Pyramid texts, as the "(one who) lives on hearts".
Bemis and a Crossed artist are perfect for this. Expect as much gore as they can get without going MAX.
Charles Perry
>gore >in a Disney company
Oliver Allen
...
Samuel Gonzalez
...and just because I know you'll probably respond with >before it was Disney This was Bemis' last comic with Marvel.
Julian Johnson
>Bemis can get away with it because he doesn't sell much In that case, fine.
Gavin King
ILU Cranky
Logan Smith
To be fair Foolkiller, was one of the few Marvel books outside of Punisher with a 'MA' rating on it
Wyatt Davis
Not bad. I guess I'll give a try and read the first two issues.
Kayden Russell
What a fucking waste of Kurt.
Gavin Perez
Agreed. That pissed me off. I loved Gerber's mini series with Kurt and thought the character still had potential.
Elijah Morris
That cover looks like it could be for one of avatar's random edgy comics that nobody read but it could be good. The fact they are numbering issues like that will trigger me to no end though.
Austin Anderson
>That cover looks like it could be for one of avatar's random edgy comics that nobody read Gee, it's almost like that cover was done by an artist known for doing random edgy comics for Avatar.
Hudson Garcia
>Max Bemis Weird. I've only heard good things about one of his books and keep forgetting his Foolkiller book was a thing that existed far longer than it should have.
Julian Morris
Is that the fucking eye of ra? Ra tops khonsu. This isn't even up for debate.
Adam Thompson
lol seriously? you also think all rap music is the same huh
Dominic Williams
Another Moonie series that's gonna get cancelled after 12 issues because sales re gonna be cancerous garbage. Oh well...
Ryder Cox
While you're right that Ra tops Khonshu, that is actually the eye of Horus, the god of the sun.
Lucas Rodriguez
Sorry about that misinformation, decided to read up a little bit of Egyptian mythology. Horus is actually a god of the sky, Ra is the sun God.
Christian Myers
also for those of you that are interested the eye of Ra looks like this.
Juan Murphy
>Max Bemis Umm, OK, I'm willing to give him a chance >Jacen Burrows Hell yeah, I think this is his first big 2 work? Might be instantly the best artist @ Marvel.
Oliver Taylor
I hope the same... or at least the black and white Moon Knight outfit... I don't like the full white Moon Knight unless it's Mr. Knight.
Leo Murphy
Shit taste.
Gabriel James
The cover would say that outfit won't be featured.
