Surprised the hell out of me! So much fun. Great art. Fun, violent story. The first arc I've read where I really liked the Moon Knight character.

Moon Knight keeps getting better and better, the series was rebooted as part of the Legacy relaunch but kept the same level of quality as Jeff Lemire's run. I loved every bit of it and feel invested as I did when Snyder was writting the new 52 Batman, its darkly humorous and edgy when it needs to be while keeping all the superhero tropes in check, a real page turner, one of the best series right now on the Marvel catalogue.

A dark and disturbing volume, perfectly merging recent version of Moon Knight character with classical one, making him the truly and ultimate Inspector Holmes of Kungfu Madmen!Loved all the references to previous runs and the evolution of Bushman was just hilarious, Jacen Burrows' hyperdetailed artworks are really over the top here (love his faces drawn Steve Dillon style), not as much extreme as his drawings for Avatar (Crossed, Providence) comics where he previously had an exclusive contract,

This was a meh for me and has some good concepts but some dialogue is clunky and the ending not so good vs the payoff you were expecting to have.We start with the origin of a new enemy called "Sun king" who is supposed to be a reincarnation of Amun-Ra and then we have him escaping and targeting Marc and we see the latter trying to make peace with his weird and confusing origin and then finding he has a daughter after his ex-gf Marlene gets confronted by this Sun god and Bushman and another enemy...

The previous run of Moon Knight was really different, and they continue that trend here. Now that all of his personalities-and Khonshu-are all working together as a team, Moon Knight isn't as tortured and broody anymore. He is, however, still a badass, and Bemis pulls this balancing act off pretty well. In one scene you have Moon Knight stabbing someone's eyes out. In another scene he is throwing his pants in someone's face and fighting in his underwear. If you like things that can pull off seri...

We are the Knights who say… Moon! MOON! MOON! I’m a big fan of Jacen Burrows who, up til now, I think only drew fucked up comics for small publisher Avatar Press by the likes of Alan Moore, Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis. So I was excited to see him finally making it into the big leagues with Marvel - and I wasn’t disappointed here. Lordy, this is a good-looking comic! Obviously it’s more restrained than his usual Avatar output - no Lovecraftian monsters are raping anyone (yet)! - but it’s no less...

Starts off really well but completely shits the bed by the end.The first few issues were pretty cool and I was pumped to see where it was going.You have this guy in an asylum who is talking to the doctor who used to treat Marc Spector. She sees a connection between them and starts to go a bit off the rails herself. And then it just goes downhill.I liked the idea that there's some sort of eternal battle between Konshu and Ra that has been fought between their avatars over the centuries. What I di...

I really enjoyed this one. The story was exciting, the new characters were interesting, it was respectful of what came before without being enslaved to it and the artwork was fantastic. The only reason I haven't given this book 5 stars is that I didn't feel the ending quite lived up to the set-up.I'm really looking forward to Moonie's next outing.

1st. I like the Egyptian references to their mythology. That is pretty cool. Khonshu is the moon god and his nemesis is Ra the evil patriarchal sun god. I like that about this story. Moon Knight looks pretty cool too.This story was just not for me. It is intense violence. I'm not saying the story is bad, but I'm just not into this hyper violence and blood all over the page. It's a harsh story and I guess I prefer more story less violence. I will not be going on with this character, but at least

Man, we've had some great Moon Knight runs in recent years. This is not one of them. Bemis's overly wordy narration just kills this comic. It's like reading a comic from decades ago. He just drones on and on, obscuring Jacen Burrows hyper-detailed, fantastic art. The villains are really hokey. The Sun King is supposed to be another avatar like Moon Knight but working for Ra. But Bemis's backstory doesn't make a lot of sense and it goes on forever. Then there's some guy called The Truth who cause...

[Read as single issues]Moon Knight's one of those characters that keeps getting reinvented. Unlike a lot of other characters though, all of these reinventions seem to be very well done. From Warren Ellis to Jeff Lemire, and now with Max Bemis, Marc Spector (and friends/split personalities) are having their lives turned upside down all over again.From the first issue of this run, you know we're in for something special. Moon Knight himself only appears on one page, instead devoting time to fleshi...

That’s all folks! Aight so in terms of Moon Knight I have read quite a bit recently. So I understand his character, the supporting characters, and villains pretty well now. I only have the Greg Hurwitz run left to read. So when I say that this was a pretty disappointing start to Max Bemis’s run, I know what I’m talking about. You could argue that since I just read the incredible run by Jeff Lemire, that my expectations are a little too high. But nah. If you have that near masterpiece of a run

I didn't love Lemire's run but it was better than this, that's for sure. This actually starts off really interesting. First issue, almost two issues, is a slowburn, giving us a dark villain, and it seems to be setting up a lot of great stuff. Then Bemis adds in his humor, which I gotta be honest isn't good. The art takes a turn for the worst and feels static as fuck. I can't stand the ending, really badly done. I dunno what happened but this wasn't very good.

Moon knight, who I only diacovered fairly recently, is just such a cool character! The whole Ancient Egyptian background is interesting, but the piece de resistance is the hero's mental illness and split personality. This story wasn't as batsh*t crazy as Lemire's run, being essentially a typical superhero vs supervillain yarn, but with that added touch of crazy. Jacen Burrows' artwork is quietly excellent and fitted the story nicely.

Moon Knight, avatar of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, goes up against Amon Ra's avatar while trying to keep a lid on his alters (MK has dissociative identity disorder, or DID). "Ra" was an interesting villain, but the other villains are uninspired. But most critically, Bemis' portrayal of living with DID and women ranges from disturbing to seriously problematic.I have serious doubts that Bemis represents those living with DID authentically, or that he did any actual research. He missed the memo

As brutal, batshit and hilarious as a Moon Knight book should be, thanks in large part to Jacen Burrows getting his first big Marvel gig and looking more than ever like Steve Dillon's heir. Max Bemis, who apparently had a breakdown while writing this, describes it as a “a book written by a mentally ill Jew about a mentally ill Jew”, which it is, but that doesn't give an idea of how much here hinges on the mythology of the old Egyptian captors. Always at the character's heart, of course, but ther...

I have to say I was not impressed with this volume. There are some cool elements. I liked how it showed the way that Marc is able to shift between the different personalities. This is something that has come up in other Moon Knight books, but it always felt like there was more effort involved, as if he had to stage things just right to be able to do so. It also makes use of characters from Moon Knight's backlog. And the new villain is somewhat interesting, even if I don't think he has a lot of s...

Moon Knight Vol. 1 Crazy Runs in the Family collects issues 188-193 of the Marvel Comic series written by Max Bemis and art by Jacen Burrows. One of Marc Spector's former psychiatrists has a new patient who can't remember his past. In an effort to help provide him a since of direction and identity, she introduces him to ancient Egyptian mythology. But her good intention quickly turn malevolent when he latches on to the identity of Ra, father and enemy of Khonshu, Moon Knight's idol. I liked the

It's sometimes exciting to see a celebrity come in a write a comic book. I.e. Jonathan Lethem doing Omega, Ta-Nehisi Coates doing Black Panther, Gerard Way, Max Landis, etc. You often think that they'll bring a fresh voice to the medium--and often it starts out promising (if not a bit clunky) and then dovetails into tired and trite superhero tropes. Max Bemis is a bit more experienced than most of those on the list. Moon Knight is one of my favorite superhero characters. He's a D-lister with a n...
