2022I don't know why I forgot to mention The Profile the last time around, but I did. I've never seen him outside of a Moon Knight comic, but I thought he was a great addition to the story. He has the ability to completely read anyone just by looking at them. Kind of like a supernatural Sherlock Holmes, only sleazy. I could be completely wrong, but I think Huston's run was his 1st appearance in the Marvel Universe. Hope he shows up again someday. 2017This volume of Moon Knight has the Civil War
Let me begin by stating that I just love Finch’s art in this Moon Knight run. Carrying over from Vol. 1 and Moon Knight is on the hunt of the Midnight Man (who is rumored to be part of the upcoming show). This on the backdrop of the Civil War event, in which Moon Knight is not really picking a side.
I read this book via Kindle Unlimited. Okay, so I was unsure if I was going to continue with this series or not if I'm being completely honest because I wanted to find somewhere I could get a better foundation for understanding the character. However, this one has Captain America on the cover so of course I had to read it. We all know I love Steve Rogers. This book had bits and pieces in it regarding the Civil War event, but it was definitely still very much a side plot to the story. Marc is m
This book tackles some of the darker aspects of Moon Knight, ties it into the greater Marvel universe, and gives the character a new starting point. In volume one, Marc Spector was picking up the pieces of his life and trying to step back into the role of Moon Knight. Volume two dredges up a lot of old issues from his past and delves into the psyche of the character in an interesting way.This particular series of Moon Knight is filled with blood, violence, and art that matches the heavy nature o...
Psyche Test This book is an interesting one. And this is going to be a loooong ass review but please read it if you have time because I think I will be one of the only people touching on a certain area of this book's story and characters. After reading volume 1 and pretty much loving it, I was skeptical about the rest of Charlie Huston's run and if he could the quality up to par. And he did and didn't at the same. This volume is really damn good in 2 regards. Exploring the complexities of Mar
I really like the character of Moon Knight and I love Charlie Huston's novels. But the two of them just don't go together. I get the sense that Huston just doesn't understand comics and how they work and how to write them. And his expletive-filled dialogue just looks funny with "####" filling in for the four-letter words. That said, this volume was at least a step up from the first one. And the art by David Finch is pretty good--lots of intricate detail, though it looks better in the first coupl...
I have the same gripes with Finch's art here that I did with the first six issues. It's too dark, too jumbled. There are some panels in which I couldn't tell what I was looking at. Not a great strategy for effective sequential storytelling. Likewise, the plot doesn't unfold in a linear timeline, and that distracts from the narrative continuity. I had a hard time following the story. However, despite my totally valid criticisms, there are many bright spots here, plenty of neat images and story mo...
Potty mouthed Batman like vigilante. Pretty good read. I liked the faceless ghost sidekick. The faux classic dot look in the last chapter was also nice.
Moon Knight Vol. 2 collects issues 7-23 and Annual 1 of the Marvel Comic series written by Charlie Huston and Duane Swierczynski and art by David Finch, Mico Suayan, Tomm Coker, and Jefte Palo.Set during the events of Marvel's Civil War, Moon Knight is back on the job and beating up gangsters and running into many New York-based superheroes: Spider-Man, Punisher, Captain Ameeica and Iron Man. The annual sees a woman's support group telling their history of male violence with Moon Knight helping
This really fell off after that first volume.
This series is really dark and graphic. It's like the Se7en of comics. Midnight, Moon Knight's former sidekick is now a cyborg and killing people in horrific ways just to get Moon Knight's attention. The non-linear storytelling in this arc was really hard to follow. It would flip back and forth between a few hours in the same location and it was incredibly hard to notice when it did, until you realized that's why you were confused. I actually liked the Civil War interludes. Everyone kept showing...
While I'm onto the character Moon Knight I think I'm just not into this run. I hate the art more than ever and half the time I can't even see wtf is going on. It's dark and grimy and multiple characters are missing the skin on their faces like okay gross and for what? I don't like how people were drawn in general, especially women (not like there were many in this at all though) but the men looked gross as well.In this volume he deals with a serial killer named Midnight who is obsessed with time...
Started out strong and then Marvel does what they always do an changed the artists... :( -Marvel, that's like changing and actor in a TV series mid-season!It was still pretty good, though.
Second review: This Spector is dark, fatalistic and far more stridently anti-authoritarian than I’d ever detected in the books I’ve read with him before. And brutal - like, a Hellraiser moment where he’s hooked a chain to a bad guy’s cheek, then bashed his truncheon *through* the guy’s skull. Wow man.He’s not just crazy - he’s fully externalised the voices we all tamp down in our heads, wanting to make us question every decision, give us just enough pause to keep from putting ourselves in mortal...
Not as good as the first. Similar to the first volume I like the ideas Huston has and I think the overarching story is good, but a lot of the in between moments and dialogue can be very boring to read. And here it was a bit too much for my tastes. I did enjoy the cameos of other heroes throughout this book like Steve Rogers and Frank Castle.
Decent story that had so much potential, but it was very difficult to follow at times. Great art saved the collection.
Sometimes you want Grim and Gritty. The art is amazing. New villain Midnight giving Moon Knight trouble, all the while guest starring Spidey, Punisher, CapA. Tony Stark. In a 'Casualties of War' Tie-in. Last issue deals with a S.H.I.E.L.D psych test for Moon Knight. In a 'Initiative' Tie-in. Bad art. Great writing. Great issue overall.
Yawn. Totally lost me.Too many guest appearances and too little action lost my attention.
Doesn't feel like Moon Knigth to me. Too many small crossovers from a bunch of others Super-heroes. The story not going nowhere. I out of this run, not for me!
