DC Graphic Novels for Young Adults, formerly known as DC Ink, is an imprint of American comic book publisher DC Comics consisting of original one-shots, graphic novels and reprints of books previously published under other imprints. The imprint intends to present traditional DC Universe characters for young adult readers.[2] The first title of the DC Ink imprint, Mera: Tidebreaker, was published on February 2, 2019 and Batman: Nightwalker was the last title to be published under DC Ink. Wonder Woman: Warbringer, the first title of DC Graphic Novels for Young Adults, was published on January 10, 2020.
An expanded list of titles was then announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2018.[10][11] In 2019, DC Ink officially launched with five graphic novels starting with Mera: Tidebreaker in February.[12][13]

Oliver Sava, for The A.V. Club, highlighted the puzzling shift of eliminating the Ink and Zoom imprints shortly after launch and right when new titles were "realizing their potential".[13] Sava wrote, "having those clearly defined channels makes it easier for retailers, librarians, educators, and consumers to find the books that are appropriate for different age groups. The Ink and Zoom branding is still present on new releases, so maybe the market's response will change DC's plans to phase out the imprints as it gears up for its huge slate of upcoming graphic novels for young readers. And the market is responding very well. The Ink and Zoom books are in the top 10 of Diamond's graphic novel sales charts for each month they debut, and given the popularity of Harley Quinn and Superman, that trend is likely to continue with August's debuts".[13]
Both CBR and Vulture compared DC's previous female teen and young adult imprint Minx, which shuttered in 2008 shortly after launch, to its current young adult imprint.[4][101] CBR stated: "One of the biggest changes DC has made with DC Ink titles, as opposed to the direction of Minx, is base the current line around familiar DC superhero franchises. [...] The authors behind DC Ink, while typically being first-timers in comics, already have their own fanbases through pre-existing young adult novels. This gives them a built-in brand, while also allowing newcomers to bring their writing styles and world views into comics. The DC Ink books have also been accessible in everyday stores such as Wal-Mart, a benefit which most regular comic books do not have. On the other hand, the Minx titles struggled to be shelved in even dedicated bookstores, as sellers didn't know whether to place them amongst the comics or the YA section. The current superhero and comic book movie boom had also not quite begun when Minx titles were published".[101]
S.W. Sondheimer, for Book Riot, highlighted the imprint name change and wrote: "A little less catchy, perhaps, but a better guide to the type of content you can expect to find in a given book [...]. Every one of the DC Graphic Novels for Young Readers and DC Graphic Novels for Young Adults has something different to offer their readers, but they're all built around forging connections, lending support to their audiences in their quests for self-realization and actualization, and most excellent hero stories. With tons more in the works, I hope these imprints, whatever their names happen to be, are around for a long time". Sondheimer also highlighted the specific themes the two imprint lines address and wrote: "Some of the protagonists are in-canon teenagers and some have been de-aged for their books, but they're all, for the purposes of this imprint, the same age as their readers, which allows those readers to forge connections with the protagonists and their stories more easily, and also helps kids self-insert to learn problem-solving skills. [...] All of the characters are heroes, yes, but they're all waging battles much more intimate and personal than defeating the Joker or the Witch Queen. They're fighting to understand themselves. [...] The other aspect of the DC Young/Young Adult Readers line I love is that, on a very basic level, each graphic novel is a family story. Almost every kind of family one can imagine has, or will, be represented".[18]
The Illuminerdi has uncovered alleged story and character details for Indiana Jones 5, revealing the film will unfold against the backdrop of the 1960s Space Race between the U.S. and Soviet Union to reach the moon. Co-writer/director James Mangold previously hinted the fifth Indiana Jones movie would take place at least partly in '60s-era New York City.
This collection does overlap with the moon knight epic collection final rest but is the only collection that collects the moon knight miniseries Moon Knight Fist of Khonshu by Alan Zelenetz and Chris Warner. As well as collecting one off issues where moon knight appears.
While an Avenger, Spector became romantically involved with Tigra,[57][58], who he'd met some time before on a visit to the Avengers Mansion.[59] After a while, there was a controversy amongst the team upon the discovery that Hawkeye's wife Mockingbird had allowed the Phantom Rider (who had sexually assaulted her) to die while cast away in time. Spector, Tigra, and Mockingbird left the team as a splinter group. Together with Bill Foster they daunted the High Evolutionary, and they also fought the Night Shift. When they consulted with Hellstorm about Phantom Rider's ghost haunting Mockingbird, Spector learned of Khonshu's presence in his own psyche, and Hellstorm convinced the moon god to depart.[60]
Moon Knight can be best characterized by his relationship with Khonshu, and whether that is derived from his own mental illness or from actual divine inspiration. When Marc Spector first awakened at the foot of Khonshu's statue, it was ambiguous whether his survival was truly Khonshu's doing or if Spector merely attributed it to the Moon God.[14] Later stories introduced Khonshu as an undeniably real god, employing Moon Knight as his agent.[11][130] Subsequent takes on Moon Knight would attempt to "walk back" the revelation that Khonshu was real, once again questioning whether the drive to be "the moon's knight of vengeance" was all in Spector's head.[131][6]
Enhanced Brain Function: After being brought back to life by the moon god Khonshu, Marc's brain structure was fundamentally changed, due to being in brain-to-brain contact with him.[30] He states that his brain was "rebuilt as a god's weapon". While the full extent of the changes to Marc's mind are unknown, he has displayed a mental resistance to telepathic attacks. When Hawley entered Moon Knight's mind, he was instantly overwhelmed due to its supernatural nature. Moon Knight had complete control over his mindscape and was able to attack and smother Hawley, leaving him catatonic in the real world.[133]
Lunar Strength: Through the power of Khonshu, Marc Spector received increased strength at night and under the light of the moon. His strength naturally increased after nightfall and whenever he was away from direct sunlight. Under the new moon, when the moon was not visible in the sky, his strength increased so that he could lift 1000 lbs. Over the next two weeks, his strength would increase even further as the moon became larger in the night sky. Under the light of the full moon, his strength reached its peak, allowing him to lift 4000 lbs, or 2 tons.[11][135]
Although he has mastered almost every weapon ever invented, Moon Knight displays an obvious fondness for certain moon-themed objects referred to as his toys. These include throwing darts, nunchaku, and a truncheon.[138]

Khonshu has the ability to resurrect individuals, grant superpowers to others, control moon rock, and absorb the abilities of others. However, these abilities have yet to be shown in the MCU. Furthermore, while Khonshu is certainly one of the most powerful and dangerous deities, many fans are curious as to how these abilities would fare against some of the strongest gods and celestial beings known to Marvel Comics and the MCU?
While Khonshu can easily defeat Thor, utilizing his ability to control moon rock and immobilize Mjolnir, he stands no match against the Allfather. Odin at his strongest can lift 90+ tons, while Khonshu has only been able to lift 60. Odin has shown the ability to destroy entire galaxies, while Khonshu requires an Avatar to enact his bidding in the physical realm. Furthermore, Odin can utilize the Odin Force to become invincible and destroy anything in his path, including other gods.
While Khonshu's strengths are limited to the realm of the Heliopolis, and Knull's power can infect the entire universe, Khonshu appears out of his depths here. However, concepts such as "justice" and "honor" can cause injury to Knull, and Knull himself has stated that Moon Knight's faith/powers from Khonshu nearly resulted in his defeat. Seeing as Khonshu is the Egyptian god of the moon, it's not impossible to see Khonshu play a massive part in defeating Knull, but on his own, Khonshu stands little chance.
However, Thanos's abilities are limited to the physical realm, as the Snap does not affect Celestials or immortal beings (therefore protecting Khonshu). Even when Thanos does not have the Gauntlet, he is still unable to harm Khonshu. As such, both Thanos and Khonshu are at a stalemate, as Khonshu's abilities counter Thanos's, and vice versa. However, if Thanos uses any Uru weaponry, Khonshu can use that against Thanos due to his ability to control anything made of moon rock and could potentially harm/kill Thanos. 2ff7e9595c
