MARVEL KNIGHTS #11-15 (2001)

Luke Cage joins the Knights to take on Fu Manchu.

Interesting that when he’s invited, he compares Moon Knight to the Ku Klux Klan.
And then Daredevil has issues with Moon Knight hiring him, even though he himself has hired Cage in the past.



Whatever. It’s not new information that Matt Murdock is a self-righteous hyprocrite.

It’s the first time Luke and Shang Chi meet. Chi is able to win Luke over so he joins the team and we can get on with the “story.”

But in the end, Fu Manchu attacks the building that serves as the Marvel Knight’s base, and blows it up.

Since Moon Knight paid for it, the cost of the loss forces him to retire and stop funding the team.
That’s silly and dumb and out of character.


This series uses street-level characters and offers all kinds of weirdo D-list villains like Bengal, Bullet and Zaran. I should love it. But…It’s just bad.
