The Comic Books and Comic Book movies thread

In the comic books thread before the great purge of 2011, I linked to a Kickstart page for a Transmetropolitan tribute book for charity. I'm happy to report that it has received enough funding to go to print!

Here's Darick Robertson's cover for it:

Warren Ellis is writing a forward for it.
 
Bendis and Maleev Talk "Moon Knight" - Comic Book Resources

The writer is taking an approach to the character as "a man who loves his personalities" and is looking for ways to have them work together. With his new role in the Secret Avengers, "wouldn't it be interesting if his psyche was more emboldened by this" and adapted the personalities of the Avengers, Bendis remarked.

“And wouldn't it be fun to see the criminals of the Marvel universe not know how to deal with this completely insane person who thinks he's Spider-Man one day, Wolverine the next?”

...

"He doesn't have full control over his personalities, which is part of the fun," Bendis said. "Just because he wants Spider-Man or Wolverine to take over, doesn't mean that's what's going to happen." But "I'm much more interested in his character as a pro-active Avenger" than a depressive hero, Bendis added.

Oh. Ok.

Well, I'll buy anything with Maleev art in it, but... uh... ok.

Also of note in the article:

Asked what was the first thing that popped into their heads about "Moon Knight," both Bendis and Maleev said "Sienkiewicz." Bendis added that they are working with Bill Sienkiewicz on "Daredevil: End of Days." "With the deepest respect I have for him, I almost try to not look at his issues—I don't want to be influenced by them," Maleev said. "The books sitting on my desk right now are not Bill Sienkiewicz 'Moon Knight.'"
