Moon Knight and The Elongated Man in: "Don't Deny the Reaper!"

 

This marks the 10th appearance of The MK/EM Team...

Moon Knight is one upcoming Disney+ series that I really have no idea about what it is going to be like.  There have been so many different takes on the hero in the comics that it's hard to say what angle they will go with.  Oscar Isaac is a great actor (he was my pick to play Hawkman), so I am sure he is up to whatever is asked of him in the role.  Ethan Hawke is set to play the main antagonist, but it hasn't been announced just which villain that will be, so I don't know what to expect there either.  Hopefully we'll get more of an idea as to how the series will take shape soon.

Great to see the twosome back. I'd never of thought of pairing them - it would have seemed a bit of a stretch to me, in fact a downright lunatic idea (sorry!) but they work great together.

I take it this is the Reaper from Gotham City rather than Wonder Man's brother?

And, if so, has he been driven crazy from eating out-of-season blue oysters?

@Carycomic: that too subtle in-joke brought to you by Disabled Veterans of the Psychic Wars.

I like how the Reaper's blade curves right next to the word "Man" in the upper right corner... except for how it accentuates how the character portraits are from entirely different periods from the main art. This is especially true of Ralph, who is ginger and wearing purple in the panel but blond and in red and black in the portrait. (Maybe the portraits are how they look currently, as they each tell each other their own sides of a tale that happened a couple of years prior.)

As for the Moon Knight Disney+ series, I think our having no idea about what it's going to be like is deliberate. Kevin Feige's announcement was even more "well, maybe" than all the other MCU announcements, so it seems entirely possible that we'll get to see the final episode and still not be sure what's going on.

(Kind of like if TV's Legion and Doom Patrol were to team up to stop a kaiju-sized gerbil from eating Carhenge.)

YES! Thank you - I've always been a fan of Ralph's original costume - I think it fits his unique character better. And I always thought he would team up really well with his fellow detective, J'onn J'onzz.

I keep hoping to see Ralph team-up with Deadpool and the Incredibles in "The Red-and-Black and the Crazy!"

PS: You know what Mjolnir and Excalibur have in common? They can only be wielded by those whom they deem "worthy." So how about a Thor/King Arthur team-up? (Using one of DC's versions of the latter, of course.)

I can see the title now: "THROG 3000!"

Really preferred the pre fist of Knoshu Moon Knight.
