Brubaker’s run on Secret Avengers is collected in Secret Avengers by Ed Brubaker: The Complete Collection. This is a review of Moench's entire Moon Knight run, not just the issues contained in this collection)Moon Knight is in a unique spot in Marvel's stable of characters: a loner by nature with the exception of a handful of supporting characters who have come and gone over the years and some brief periods spent with the Avengers that feel inconsistent with his usual characterization and tone, he is a street-level vigilante with ties to the supernatural with just enough readership to justify having an ongoing title while not enough popularity to be subject to editorial meddling. This makes Moon Knight the perfect place for creators to express themselves while working for a major publisher and getting the chance to incorporate Marvel's other characters into their work every so often if they so desire. Collects Contagion #1-5. A strange substance is taking over heroes and citizens alike and Moon Knight assists the heroes of NYC to stop the contagion. All in all, this was a monumentally disappointing affair. We sure as hell don't need more bog standard Moon Knight stories to throw on the wasted altar that is this character's sad legacy. I'll return to Scarlet Redemption again and again, but the rest of this book may as well not exist. 2.5/5

His Punisher OGN Kingdom Gone (August, 1990) led to him working on the monthly The Punisher War Journal (and later, more monthly and occasional Punisher titles), and also brought him to the attention of DC Comics editor Denny O'Neil, who asked him to produce a Robin mini-series. The mini proved popular enough to spawn two sequels - The Joker's Wild (1991) and Cry of the Huntress (1992) - which led to both an ongoing monthly series (which Dixon wrote for 100 issues before leaving to work with CrossGen Comics), and to Dixon working on Detective Comics from #644-738 through the major Batman stories KnightFall& KnightsEnd (for which he helped create the key character of Bane), DC One Million , Contagion , Legacy , Cataclysm and No Man's Land . Much of his run was illustrated by Graham Nolan. A brutal extension of the original Doug Moench themes and supporting cast that might have qualified for Marvel Knights if it was released a few years earlier – it is that bloody, adult, and relentless. It’s also an immensely satisfying and well-illustrated read.
