Long Live The Knight!

Well, as of the last issue I read, I'm wrong. And it looks like with this new title they aren't reversing yet. I'm really on the verge of canceling my MK for the first time. I don't care about Hunters Moon, or Soldier, or Reese whatsoever. I was starting to like Marc and Tigra as a couple and the Midnight mansion storyline. I understand shaking up characters that they have really explored, but I definitely felt like Marc had a lot more to give. People complain about MCU synergy, but it's just as bad to have someone discover the character through the MCU and then try to read a comic and it's not even them. I'm still assuming Marc will be back, but what I'm reading now is a major yawn. It's supposed to be shocking and I just went "pfffft" when they revealed the Shroud as the new MK. And page after page of psychotherapy sessions for every side character I don't care one bit about are not pulling me in. Jed is pretty much boring me into quitting a comic I've been reading straight through since the 80s. And just FYI, I'm not a hater of all current writers at Marvel. There has been some really cool stuff going on imo. Just not this right now. Macay is starting to be in my Donny Cates category of, "I'll cancel till he's off the book."

Marvel Legends classic SHROUD please! Love those street level characters.

I like the new costume quite a bit. New weapons are super cool. I'm gonna make a prediction that'll probably be wrong. I think the new MK is just Marc but a new personality that has come about due to a weird resurrection since Khonshu is in Asgardian jail.

Uuuuughhhh! So exhausting.

At this point we will have " The death of Jarvis" and his "replacement", just to bring him back in two weeks, very soon

First he needs his tribute issue

Nah.

He'll be back in a few weeks

This is fine with me. Looks cool. At least this characters deal is having been resurrected by a God. Not a stretch to happen again. I just hope for a more violent supernatural/street level focus than even the previous arc had. Jeds run has been pretty solid. But could be a little better. He's introduced some cool ideas for sure.
