I feel bad for saying it because I'm sure Sienkiewicz himself would be bummed to learn I like his impression of another artist better than his own style which he developed later, but I absolutely do think he was better on MOON KNIGHT than on NEW MUTANTS and almost everything he did after. I can't stand his "abstract" stuff; it just looks really ugly to me.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-57981644495661430132015-03-12T16:19:11.585-07:002015-03-12T16:19:11.585-07:00I too am a fan of Moon Knight, but essentially onl...I too am a fan of Moon Knight, but essentially only because I love Sienkiewicz's art during his Neil Adams period. His work when the book wasn't monthly was truly great stuff.Dobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08884152078310514684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-84346624597481304812015-03-09T11:08:45.862-07:002015-03-09T11:08:45.862-07:00Yeah, that Bendis series was ridiculous.

I really think it was Moench adding the Khonshu origin that paved the way for later writers to go that route. The multiple personalities were one thing, but Moench introduced this element where Moon Knight may or may not have had a connection to this Egyptian god, and that, I think, was the source of his delusions as interpreted by others.<br /><br />Anyway, glad you're on board for this!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-25471963966308578302015-03-09T06:31:02.498-07:002015-03-09T06:31:02.498-07:00Fun! I've never been a huge Moon Knight fan - ...Fun! I've never been a huge Moon Knight fan - I like the idea of the multiple secret IDs, but tying them in to multiple personalities as well always seemed overly complicated. But, I've also read very little in the way of Moon Knight stories (aside from his WCA appearances and the first few issues of one of his more recent series, Bendis & Finch IIRC, which did indeed cast him as a certifiable loon even I knew wasn't accurate), so I'm excited to read your take on the character.
