Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey to Relaunch Moon Knight

Warren Ellis, best-selling co-creator of Transmetropolitan, will team with former Thunderbolts artist Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire for a relaunch of Marvel’s Moon Knight, kicking off in March.”The man is demented in more interesting ways than I think Batman ever was,” Ellis told Hero Complex. “[His] cape is actually a crescent moon and he goes out only at night and dresses in reflective white so you can see him coming. Now that’s nuts…. I like that.”The character’s history has been kind of all over the map, with critically-acclaimed runs mixed with low-selling and forgettable stories; mystical stories mixed with simple Batman knockoffs. Ellis says that his version “unifies all the previous takes, making the character whole and taking him forward into a new kind of crime fiction.”
