Feel like Bendis is just goofing now. Ultimate Ronin! Page one, Kingpin is looking in on his bedridden wife. Probably Vanessa, but it could be any name in this world. Maybe he said it back when she was introduced and I have forgotten. His new majordomo, Mr. Rose, one assumes an international reference, intrudes, and is given a warning this one time only. He wants Fisk to know the candidate for his \u201cfist\u201d is here. In Moon Knight\u2019s mind, his personalities try to get him ready for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wonder why Bendis felt the need to put a little girl in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Ronin is revealed faster than the previous one. I guess that\u2019s a Ronin Rule. Ronin starts taking Fisk\u2019s goons apart, but he says that\u2019s not what he had in mind. Rose says he\u2019s Marc Spector, \u201cGulf War Super Soldier experiment gone wrong,\u201d who formerly worked for Roxxon under the name \u201cPaladin.\u201d Who knows, that could all be true. Kingpin gives him the task to prove himself: \u201cSpider-Man. Wreck his life and bring him here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man, this school really goes through principals! This one\u2019s named for podcast host John Siuntres, who Bendis has been doing sprawling interview sessions with for decades, at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why is Paul Schaefer running the school news channel? Is the Late Show Orchestra, n\u00e9 the World\u2019s Most Dangerous Band there, also? Seems like there could be a rivalry between MJ and Jessica Jones now. Later, MJ & Peter are having a fun chat about her using him to get her new gig when Kitty accidentally walks up. Peter tries to introduce her to MJ, but she flees. They both feel bad about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, crazypants Moon Knight crashes a bus right through the front of the school, as the little girl in his head demands to know what he\u2019s doing. And then Ronin is out of the bus, shooting an uzi in the air and demanding Spider-Man appear. The little girl in his head tells him he\u2019s gone too far as someone off-panel says \u201cI guess I should thank you for this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oops! Picked the school with TWO superheroes to attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kitty jobbing out that hard bugs me. Ronin continues to whup on her as the voices in his head are horrified to see a Ronin appear in there, too, and start beating on Moon Knight as the real one beats on Kitty. And then\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all gone wrong! Things don\u2019t look good for our hero, or Kitty, or Moon Knight. Who knows what\u2019ll happen next?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
