THE NEW MOON KNIGHT COSTUME


I'm really not digging the new MOON KNIGHT costume. Part of Moon Knight's charm was the simplistic, haunting white. Now half of it is black, and the composition of the design is lame (chest bib!).

Here is the original (more or less) costume, that is simply white with nice shadow play:



The new costume made its debut in this current series, which was launched by Warren Ellis. Most of the time, Moon Knight isn't even in his [new] costume, but instead in a stark white suit with white pullover mask:


Is basically a solid white ROSE, or masked ELIJAH SNOW. It's very "Warren Ellis". I think there's enough characters out there in plain suits, and it works fine for them. But for ME, I prefer Moon Knight in his [all-white] superhero costume:

I'd also like an actual good run of Moon Knight for once. But, with that said, the Warren Ellis issues (#1-6) aren't bad. Each one is a stand-alone story and most of them are pretty sweet. Issue #5 is basically 'THE RAID' (or NES Kung Fu) but with "Elijah Moon". Here's a taste of the action:
