I'm a big Charlie Huston fan, too, and have been following
his take on Moon Knight, also one of my favorite characters.
It is very dark and gritty and traces how Marc Spector hits
bottom, until two of his old enemies, Bushman and Taskmaster,
reappear and spur him back into action.
The artwork is great and the story is violent and gory
and marked by the great, hardboiled dialogue that Huston
brings to his novels. Unfortunately, the way the story has
been spun through 7 issues so far, has been so complicated
and obscure that only those already intimately familiar with
Moon Knight's backstory would be able to follow it. It's not
a comic that would probably appeal to newcomers, which makes
me wonder how long it's going to make it--the secret to sales
is a story that grabs you from page one and is easy to
follow. Huston also wrote an Ultimates Annual story about
Captain America and the Falcon set during the ongoing Civil
War storyline that's pretty good and I see he's got a
Man-Thing story coming in early 2007. Looking forward to Joe
