The story behind Moon Knight's origin was the main thing that drew me to this character; I love the idea of someone being brought back to life and then empowered by an ancient Egyptian god. In general his powers are also just really cool (punching ghosts?! That's badass) and make him standout from other nighttime vigilantes. Also, some of the art in the volume was SO well done and fit the story and character really nicely.
Overall I thought the plot of each issue were a little weak and/or lacked pizzazz; it was mostly just seeing Moon Knight beat up baddies or letting the reader get a taste for what his powers are, which is a decent thing to have for readers new to him, but it does kind of leave you wanted MORE, too. It felt like such a tease to get a piece of a plot, like the bizarre shared dream issue, only to have it end so fast and then move on.
However, I definitely want to read more of Moon Knight going forwards! (Honestly the sick outfit alone has me hooked enough to keep going.) ( )

Harsh and brutal but intriguing reset of Moon Knight. Leaves it open for the reader to decide if he's insane or immortal & touched by an old god. Not as fascinating as Ellis' other work but enough to make me want to read more. ( )

I can't say enough good things about the art in this series. Shalvey and Bellaire do an amazing job on art & colours respectively. Throughout the series, Moon Knight is left without any colours added. He is a stark, distinctive entity of white that moves through the world as if removed from it. Shalvey's inks really shine through in those parts where there is no colour added. As the story progresses, Moon Knight begins to become part of the world again and that journey is mirrored in the art as glimpses of skin (and, therefore, colour) are seen around his arms and hands.

Also, his cape! There are parts of the book where Moon Knight can only be described as "scenery" since he takes up so much of the panel or page swooping in to get the job done. The amount of white in these panels emphasises the character's philosophy for wearing white - let them always see him coming.

I highly recommend this book. ( )

great 6 issue run with good art. i say good run bc it should have ended here ( )

Warren Ellis tells some almost interesting done-in-one short stories about Marvel's sad little Batman knock-off. Shorn of his usual supporting cast, it's some lean but generic tough guy stuff mixed with a dab of supernatural. I still can't quite manage to care about any of the many aspects of Marc Spector though. ( )
