Moon Knight #6
- Title: Moon Knight #6
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
- Artist: Alex Maleev
The latest issue of Moon Knight may be the best yet. Echo and Moon Knight sit down to talk after their blowup (you know, when he kissed her and she punched him in the face repeatedly). The pair admit, but do not give into, their attraction to each other, and Brian Michael Bendis makes a ingenious observation about the similarities of the two heroes.
This issue also sees the final fate of the Night Shift. The Los Angeles Kingpin (who is finally revealed in this issue) doesn’t take kindly to failure. The choice of Count Nefaria is an interesting one (to be honest, I’d forgotten he even existed) as it gives Moon Knight an adversary powerful enough to be a threat but C-List enough not to overpower the book.
My favorite part of this issue, however, is when the Avengers (the ones Moon Knight has been hallucinating about for weeks) actually show up to have a talk with him. This provides the week’s best panel as Spidey has a question for Moon Knight about his latest tactics. Best of the week.

Huntress #1
- Title: Huntress #1 (of 6)
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Paul Levitz
- Artist: Marcus To
Although no longer a member of the Birds of Prey, and not part of the initial month of the DC Reboot, the Huntress finally makes an appearance her in the first issue of this six-issue mini-series.
Helena travels to Italy to take down a human smuggling and prostitution ring. Although the issue doesn’t feature a super-villain there are plenty of ass-kicking action panels of the Huntress taking down nameless thugs.
There are two interesting points to note. The first is the Huntress seems more reserved in this new reboot. She’s using far more trick arrows than we’ve seen before and makes concious effort not to draw blood with her crossbow.
The other interesting note is the fact that Helena’s last name is never uttered (other than the cover name she offers for her hotel room). With the recent announcement that Earth-2 will exist in the new DCU that means there’s a chance (although a slight one) that this Huntress is Helena Wayne instead of Helena Bertinelli. How much interesting would the New 52 be with the daughter of Batman and Catwoman running around?
