 Writer: Brian Bendis Artist: Alex Maleev Issue #3 of this highly controversial series is here. As you know from my 2 previous reviews, Marc has relocated to Los Angeles. When he's not fighting crime he's the creator and producer of a new tv show call the Legends of Khonshu. Last issue, he stumbled across former Avenger Echo and ran into some trouble at the hands of the villainess Snapdragon. marvel.wikia.com/Sheoke_Sanada_(Earth-616)This issue is heavily focused on Marc's civilian life in LA. We see him handling various aspects of producing his tv show. We also see him recruit someone to start handling his weaponry for the show and his secret identity. We find out that Snapdragon is indeed working for the new West Coast kingpin. she recruits a team to take out Marc and that leads into the next issue... Thoughts: This was a pretty solid issue. I've actually enjoyed the series so far despite its faults. I'm still interested in seeing who this new kingpin is. The villain team that's going after Marc is a group you'll recognize if you followed the West Coast Avengers. Overall: 6.5/10 |

Because dressing up as Moon Knight wouldn't have been intimidating? All he has to do is say "I FUCKING CUT OFF A MAN'S FACE" and he's golden. Bullseye was brought in for the cash cow off his image. No point in having him there. Same as all the other personalities. |

Why would he dress up as Moon Knight to intimidate the guy....when the guy knows that he's Moon Knight??

"Point being: Bullseye's inclusion = pointless." Not true. It helps with sales  |

If you're willing to accept Mark's new mindset, I can understand having no issue with it.
But, if you're like me and strongly disagree with this new direction, you're likely going to just complain about it as it carries on. lol

I was thinking about going over to IMDB and rating some movies I haven't seen as total crap because I don't like the director or actors involved.....
