Fans of Spider-Man and Moon Knight will get an early treat this Wednesday. A mash-up of these two characters making “ArachKnight”. Not that crazy about the name, but you get the idea. The mash-up looks total bad-as* and fans will probably flock to it. Spider-Man is a household name and Moon Knight will be one day too. The old site, InvestComics, was promoting Werewolf By Night #32 (first appearance of Moon Knight) well before everyone became a speculative expert. Here is an excerpt from the October 2nd 2009 article “First appearing in Werewolf By Night #32, this is another one of those Bronze Age comics that is way undervalued and is a great buy right now. Moon Knight’s first appearance could be picked up for $100 these days in some markets. That is an absolute ridiculous buy.” Yes, we were on top of it back in 2009 and have mentioned Moon Knight countless times thereafter. Still are, but now everyone says buy Werewolf By Night #32! Yeah, the experts. We even gave fans a Moon Knight checklist in 2015 right HERE. In conclusion, will Moon Knight ever really become a household name? We think so, but we’ve made collectors a boatload of money if he doesn’t! So back to Infinity Wars: ArachKnight #1. This will trend very well if the fans let go of Cosmic Ghost Rider for a minute. Which they have. Slowly, but it’s happening. Writer Max Bemis and artist Ale Garza usher in the next hot character.

Moon Knight doesn’t stop at the mash-up this Wednesday. Moon Knight #200 is an anniversary issue promising to blow the doors off. Writer Max Bemis doing his Moon Knight chores here as well. Artist Peter Davidson. This anniversary comic comes with a few variant covers to choose from.
Spider-Girls #1 will be a hot trender. Writer Jody Houser and artist Andres Genolet. The first appearance of Arana, in Amazing Fantasy #1 (2004) is under $30 in some places. That’s interesting.
A new Spider-Gwen series starts up, Spider-Gwen a.k.a. Ghost Spider #1. Writer Seanan McGuire and artist Rosi Kampe.

It’s been 18 years since Frank Tieri’s debut(?) back in Iron Man #31 (2000) and now this hit on arrival this Wednesday; Old Lady Harley #1. Frank will make this comic series a must get. As he continues to do with Jughead Hunger, Pestilence, etc. Artist Inaki Miranda will bring the “old lady” to life visually.
The Joker makes his triumphant return to Neo-Gotham in Batman Beyond #25. “The Final Joke”; writer Dan Jurgens and artist Cully Hamner.
