This is still my favorite Moon Knight.

description

Although, this is not the Moon Knight you'll see in the tv show. I'd suggest Lemire's version for those of you looking to educate yourself on what you're seeing in the episodes.

2017

I keep hearing this: Moon Knight is Marvel's Batman rip-off.
Bullshit.
If I had to pick, I'd read Moon Knight all day long over Batman. Dark Knight, my ass. If you want a dark superhero, Marc Spector has it covered.

description

And this? This was maybe the best MK story I've read so far!
The first issue reeled me in with a mind-fuck, then the rest of the issues blew me away with the twisty-turny conclusion. <--not a conclusion and I can't wait to start reading the next volume!

description

I was really surprised at how well the characters were all fleshed out. Everyone! From Frenchie & Marlene to Taskmaster & Profile. They all felt very real and shockingly two-dimensional. Then there's Konshu. He isn't what the new reader (or Marc) expects, but that's what makes this such a great title.

description

A word of warning: If you don't like graphic or gory comics, then this isn't for you.

description

Marc was a mercenary & Konshu is a god of vengeance - not puppies and rainbows.
So if seeing your 'hero' peel the skin off his enemy's face is a dealbreaker, you should probably go read some Batman instead.

Marc Specter has hit rock bottom. His legs are shattered after ripping Bushman's face off. He's alienated all of his friends and Marlene. Khonshu has abandoned him. That's when an old nemesis goes after his friends...

David Finch's art goes well with Moon Knight. It's got a brutality to it that fits the graphic nature of the book. His Moon Knight is too bulky at times and can look roided out. Still I'm OK with it as a whole.

This was quite fun and a splendid read. It starts with Marc Spector wanting to return to the role of Moon knight and he begs his patron god Khonshu to give him his powers and with a twist, turvy paneling and storytelling we see what happened to him and his friend Frenchie and Marlene, his ex-gf! Its a mind bending storytelling as we delve into the psyche of the character and I love how Charlie portrays him and its epic!

And them him resuming the role after meeting Morpheus and then fighting The committee (some evil organization) and Taskmaster and the battle is pretty good but the main thrust is when he is done fighting them and that last issue is just wow, and the art of Finch is so awesome and quite evocative of Batman and Gotham but its so much darker and better. Its a must read for sure.

Second read, in anticipation of Disney+ Moon Knight: after slogging through as much of 80’s Moon Knight as I could (20 issues?), skipped all the way through his half-assed guest appearances and minis, right to the good stuff. Good god, this is like John Constantine level of abuse of a character, just as shocking and raw as I remember.

HELL of a way to shake off the tepid, half-added approach to a nut job putting on a costume and beating hell out of villains.


Original review:
The Moon Knight always seemed to me one of those B-list characters who was a pale shadow of the more interesting and well-thought-out dudes. Maybe it's the full face mask and dour personality - doesn't say much, just roams around with his moon-themed gadgets.

Huston took me on a fantastic, brooding journey into the inevitable by-product of years of vigilante justice. I love seeing the rare glimpse into what the life will eventually suck out of such nutjobs - this could just as easily describe what would happen for Batman or Punisher too, but that it was painted onto Moon Knight makes me interested in this guy for the first time in decades.

Huston writes a gritty, dark, adult introspection and painful journey for our "hero", which feels completely appropriate and interesting.

Art by Finch is nicely detailed, dripping with shades and shadows, and very expressive for a bunch of stone-faced poker faces.

I don't consider myself much of a fan of David Finch. I like what he did with Bendis on the Avengers, but not enough to follow him over to DC to read his Batman stuff. But I do really like the visual style he brings to this book. It's how he makes use of Moon Knight, even though he's not in costume that much because this arc is more of a "return" story, although I'm never entirety sure where it is he's returning from? Some pages will be filled with small panels, often building up to a full page splash. And then there are the moments, which there aren't that many of, like the Moon Copter (or whatever his ship is called?) is used. It looks pretty cool, and makes this a good read. And his Taskmaster looks great. His style is well suited to these types of characters, than it would be for, say, female characters, I guess. He exaggerates body mass a bit, not quite to the Liefield degree, and when you have a panel of Moon Knight smashing through a window saying "VENGEANCE!", those are the comics that do make me go "OH YEAH!" when they're done this well and look this good.

A gorgeous fever dream of a book with the long-suffering Marc Spector at its centre.


Trust me fellow travellers in the night, this is just about the only PG image I can show you from this volume.

The story doesn't exactly make a ton of sense upon close inspection...but I guess that just means it's a Moon Knight book, after all! I'm in for the next volume for sure.

Pretty good! Haven't read Moon Knight in a while, but after watching Comic Pop's Back Issues episode on this book, it inspired me to give this one a read! I started my Moon Knight fandom when Warren Ellis wrote his amazing Moon Knight, Vol. 1: From the Dead, which made me really love the character! However for many before that, Charlie Huston's run was what got them into Moon Knight!

So the story has Mark Spector down on his luck after a fight with one of his villains turned ugly, and resulted in his legs being broken. The story is a typical, hero returning story. To start with what I liked, I loved how dark and gruesome this comic gets! Part of the appeal of Moon Knight is that he's basically Batman on steroids in terms of writing and grit, and that's on display here fully! Charlie Huston knows the character well, and he writes retcons that make sense and help elevate the characters and world! David Finch's art as well is absolutely amazing, he manages to capture the grit, while still keeping the art flashy and a pleasure to look at! Finch's art is especially on display, during a couple of intense scenes where's there's no dialogue at all, but the story is conveyed perfectly through the visuals!

The negatives I would say would be the writing at times. I think the overall story is very good, but a lot of the in between moments can get very dull! I also didn't find the dialogue that interesting in some scenes, but I think I'm very picky with my Moon Knight when it comes to writing. Bushman in the beginning is menacing straight away from the brutal fight he has with Moon Knight; but after that the villains are very dull and almost made me fall asleep from reading some of their scenes.

Overall though this is a decent Moon Knight read! I think Charlie Huston accomplished what he set out to do, in making Moon Knight a cool character. But Warren Ellis's run is still the Holy Grail when it comes to Moon Knight comics for me!

I didn't get it.
anime-confused
If you're starting Moon Knight, this might not be the best one to start with.
This is my first one and I am confused out my f*cking mind.
The way the narrative flowed was very muddled.
I feel like people who might have read other iterations of this Moon Knight might appreciate this more, but as a beginner, I was just struggling the entire time.
Or maybe I'm just really stupid.
Also, one final note, the artwork for this was DIVINE.

Still, the answer is the same. How could I live any other way?

The show definitely sparked my interest. I’ve been reading more and more comics and graphic novels, but Moon Knight is a new character to me. So, outside of the Oscar Isaac show, this is my first introduction to the character.

Well, four episodes into the show and I can safely safe that both it and this confused me, haha. I think that’s the point, though. It’s meant to show you how chaotic and fractured Marc has become under Khonshu’s control.

The art in this is epic. Sublime. Shocking. Visceral. So, so well done. The storyline was intriguing and intense, splintered and chaotic to mirror what Marc is experiencing. Very interested to see where the comics go!

Started from the bottom...now we're here. Started from th--

Anyway. Moon Knight is back! Oh you haven't read his other appearances? That's okay this series will semi-catch you up with some references to old characters and what happened. But a lot of internal dialogue, lot of "WHY AM I THIS WAY!" and a lot of self pity will make you either understand Marc or want to shove him out a fucking window.

The first half of this is really kind of a self pity oh woe is me kind of book and to be honest I wasn't impressed.

Then luckily the second half brings in Task Master. That snarky piece of shit for hire that quickly elevates this series to a much more interesting one. The second 3 issues contain brutal fights, funny moments, and some shockingly gruesome ones too.

This is Moon Knight losing his mind 100% but also a violent and fucked up world. Finch is on art duties and I've always felt iffy about his art. Hyper realistic in ways, comicbookey in other ways. A weird mix but if like grit and darkness, similar to Batman, this works here.

A 3.5 out of 5. I'll bump it to a 4 for enjoying the last 3 issues a lot.

Damn, Charlie Huston's take on Moon Knight is probably the most brutal, and he's pitching him against Taskmaster in this first volume, which is just about perfect. I love the atmosphere and the grittiness of this book, David Finch's art looks pretty dope as well, the only thing I didn't love is that whole Batman's shtick Huston has going on here, the cave, the mansion, the butler, the Vengeance shout, I mean, come on, I'm glad they gave up on it over the years. Ready for the next volume.

★★★1/2

The tone and focus that most people are familiar with today in Moon Knight's book is owed almost completely to this run on the character. It reinvigorated the character and focused on more of the gritty, psychological aspects. Marc Spector has been injured and has been seemingly abandoned by Khonshu, we then witness his existential crisis and his attempts to rise again as Moon Knight. It's violent and graphic and a bit overwrought, but David Finch's art is eye-catchingly grimy. Not a particularly great Moon Knight book but definitely an impactful one that should be read by all of his fans.

This books was a sick, twisted Batman rip-off... and I thought it was AWESOME! Gritty story and brutal artwork. Freakin great artwork actually.
(Why can't Marvel get it, that this is the kind artwork that their super-heroes deserve. Not this squiggly scribbles that they try to pass off in too many of their newer books.)

I'm coming quite late to the Moon Knight party, and I don't have any previous relationship with the character. I have always thought he has a cool costume, though. I liked this mid-'00's arc, though I have a few issues with some of the plotting, some weird dialogue, and the art. I used to like Finch a lot, and he is certainly a highly capable artist, but in some ways, in some places, Finch's art here represents what I dislike most about the style of this period. There's too much going on, it's too dark, and while Finch is a master of evoking motion on the page, which he does here masterfully, his art is just sort of ugly.

Me ha encantado demasiado; Es mas 4.5 Estrellas pero solo por que unas cosas no las entendi bien respecto a un personaje secundario, dejando eso de lado ame a Moon Kight ahora veo por que muchos dicen que el es el verdadero caballero de la noche y no Batman, ya que este comic es todo super WoW y Dark y la verdad si lo ame.

Darkness Charlie Murphy.
This is not a sunny book.
Marc Spector is a broken mentally unwell man.
The last name isn't a coincidence...a Spectre, the avatar of his Egyptian God, wherein he becomes Moon Knight.

However, he isn't here, he's pain pill addicted, dishevelled and wheelchair using. His friends he has pushed away, and he's haunted by the one time he took vengeance too far and lost the mantle.

This is a great look at what happens when the dark "heroes" stop. This is easily Batman, Punisher, Daredevil, at the end after they stop, if they didn't die.

Solid writing and art, 3.5+ stars but not quite 4.

Marc Spector was once Moon Knight, the avatar of the Egyptian moon/revenge god Khonshu. Recently he has hit bottom, brooding in his room and staring at his Khonshu statue. His former partner Frenchie asks to see him, who is then attacked in the street. Things begin to get a little weird when Marc learns that his friend never requested to see him... Marc's origin story is recapped as the sinister Committee hires the Profile and Taskmaster to prevent Marc from becoming Moon Knight once again.

I knew virtually nothing about Moon Knight before this volume. I didn't feel lost, but there's a definite sense that Spector has a varied history that I'm not aware of. Most importantly, the story doesn't make it entirely clear why or how Marc hit bottom, but it doesn't feel entirely necessary information. We know he's down, now he needs to get back up. Moon Knight has been compared to Batman, except that Marc's story back into the Moon Knight suit is a dark and very bloody one, and his sanity is apparently far more fragile than Bruce Wayne's has ever been depicted. His sanity becomes a significant question by the end of the volume () which ends on a satisfyingly creepy note. Moon Knight's an appealing character in this volume as a street-level vigilante, though a bit dark and broody for me to entirely get behind.

I cannot remember which re-read this is for me, I own this one so I've been through it a lot.
This was my entry point to this character and I found it when I was just getting back to comics after a long time off. I hadn't read a book like it before; the art by David Finch was bloody and highly detailed. There was a weight and a brutality to it. Authors Charlie Huston and Mike Benson gave an overview of Marc Spector's back story and then dropped you into the present day train wreck of his life. This was a street level hero with no powers who was just getting his ass kicked. Emotionally he was a mess and mentally he was unstable. Add to that the dimension of a god resurrecting him, but also possibly being a figment of his imagination? I still couldn't believe this was a Marvel book.

This book is far from perfect. The art at times feels dated (late 90's-early '00 Rob Liefeld adjacent, narrowed eyes and heavy line work) and some of the dialogue is a little on the nose. For any of it's faults though when I read it now I still have the same fascination and it still holds the same intrigue for me. I am really hoping the new tv show hits some of these notes as this character stands out in a crowd.

I read this comic via Kindle Unlimited.

I've never read a Moon Knight series before, so I thought I'd search on KU to see what I could find and I found this run by Charlie Huston. I haven't read anything by Charlie Huston and I have no background knowledge of Moon Knight, which honestly I think damaged me while reading this book. Marc Spector starts this book essentially down and out. He's got an injury in his legs, he's addicted to pain killers, the love of his life has abandoned him and he spends his time reliving the glory days in his head. We meet a whole range of characters throughout this book, such as Jean-Paul, Jean-Paul's boyfriend, Marlene and so on. This series seems like it would be really exciting for fans of the character but I found it confusing. Why was Marc abandoned by his god? Where did his powers go? Really just in general, what was going on? That being said, what I could follow, I really enjoyed and the art was good. Dark and edgy and atmospheric. My kinda bag tbh.

I’m very new to the world of Moon Knight. I watched the Marvel series and was very interested in the complexity of his character. I have found a great many free comics on my Kindle Unlimited account and this one popped up. Obviously, I’m not reading in order, which can be bothersome. Marc has been stripped of his connection to the Egyptian god, Khonshu. He is a broken man who breaks everything around him, including his friendships and love life. A secretive group seeks to end him completely, using a villain from Marc’s past to bond with Khonshu and disrupt Marc’s life. The artistry is beautiful and savage. Moon Knight and his enemies are equally violent. The villains- all of them - are dangerous on many levels. Marc has much to contend with: his lack of confidence, his broken spirit, his failure as a friend and lover. He must prove worthy again in order to be the vessel of Khonshu. I was impressed with the story; although, I didn’t understand everything, there is enough for me to piece things together. Hints of backstory and the hidden personalities are there and help a beginner reader infer what has happened and how it shapes the current storyline. I hope to find more Moon Knight issues to read. I find him highly intriguing and complex.

Moon Knight Vol. 1 The Bottom collects issues 1-6 of the Marvel Comics series written by Charlie Huston with art by David Finch.

Marc Spector is a shadow of his former self. He sits at home a broken man as his God has forsaken him. Marc will crawl through his ashes and rebuild himself to once again take up the mantle of Moon Knight.

I know nothing about the Moon Knight character but I wanted to get some background info before the Disney+ show starts. I found this first volume to be a slow burner, confusing, and slightly boring. But I will admit - that is my own fault not knowing the character's history. I generallyike Finch's art but it felt like a parody here with everyone either being extremely bulky (think Liefeld's Cable bulky) or sickeningly skinny. The art is also quite brutal with a whole issue of a guy whose face has been peeled off. I'm sticking with the series, but I wasn't impressed.

I like me some gore! I definitely will be reading more Moon Knight, this guy doesn't pull punches which makes sense if he is the incarnation of Khonshu: God of Vengeance.

Vlastně ani nevím jak se správně vyjádřit. Je to prostě celkem nudný nic neříkající pláštěnkový průměr. Finch je tady dost neohrabanej a místy ta kresba na mě působí hrozně zmateně. Jinak stylizace a coloring je super, ale příběhově mě to vůbec nechytlo. Asi jsem zvyklý na ty úplně nejnovější Moon Knighty takže až na určité pasáže mi to nesedlo a ukecanější je to stokrát víc než Lemire.
Ps. ten fight s Taskmasterem byl fakt ubohej.

Huh. So perhaps Moon Knight is always starting over? Is all about always starting over? Kind of cool and creepy. And gave some real info about the cast. Just not sure who the main character is. I mean I get that it is Moon Knight and that he has multiple different personas. But it's just so chaotic. Cool art though. And interesting writing. Would have been better without Taskmaster.

This is a much grimmer Moon Knight than the version by Jeff Lemire. That one was lighter, entertaining action. Here the world is darker and much grimmer. Moon Knight has lost a fight, was badly injured and ceased being a hero. The title seems to indicated where Marc Spector is at the beginning of this comic—the bottom.

The artwork is darker as well, with a very plastic look. Which I like. Although we are a bit over the top anatomically and occasionally slightly off with the proportions. Which I don‘t like. The look of that first villain is also pretty creepy. So quite a different kettle of fish to Jeff Lemire‘s Lunatic. Violent and bloody.

Chapter #1 shows us Moon Knight in his prime and then Marc Spector at the bottom…

2-D3-F8657-41-F5-4435-A6-A3-3080-D858-A5-E8

2-B47-BCCE-86-BB-47-DC-B25-D-6-B54-A90-E40-DA

Chapter #2 shows us how he got there. He is badly injured in a fight and gives himself up. Lost faith, maybe? In Konshu and/or himself?

Frenchie, Marlene and Crawley make an appearance, so I guess they are recurring characters.

We get some backstory, mixed with Spector struggling away from that bottom. Well told. Oh, and there seems to be a Batcave-type deal…

19-B43-E00-44-C2-49-D8-A1-D4-38-C7349904-D0

I have never read anything by Charlie Huston. I might take a look at Already Dead. Crime Noir with vampires in New York sounds tempting.

This was good, in quite a different way to Jeff Lemire. Onwards to volume 2.

The Bottom..yes that title does seem apropos for this piece of work that seems to have rocketed from Huston's rear end. Think I'm being too harsh? Well here's some typical dialogue you'll find in Moon Knight:

Marc Spector (Moon Knight): ####! My ####ing legs!

Frenchie (Marc's friend): Marc! Ce qui est erroné?

Marc Spector: My ####ing legs! They're ####ed!

Frenchie: Vous voulez une omelette?

Marc Spector: Bon.

I enjoy dark stories but these days writers of dark stories are more concentrated on how far they can push dialogue and gore before someone hurls from just reading their work. There are so many problems with Moon Knight that I don't even know where to begin. I was very naive when it came to buying comics the time Moon Knight came out, I thought to myself "This guy looks so cool! Add that to my book list." Even as I read it, I fooled myself into liking it despite its obvious flaws and I'm sure there are many readers like me out there that suffered from this delusion when Moon Knight reared his blood stained face around the corner.

Let's tackle dialogue first. Moon Knight has a Parental Advisory warning on the barcode and this excited me as a recently turned Mature reader. I thought to myself "Finally a mature comic book to commemorate my induction into Mature reader fandom." I soon found out that the dialogue in this book was very immature; if I were to personify it, it's similar to a young teenager who starts dropping the F-bomb into their sentences in an effort to be cool and regarded as mature by other people. Huston also thinks adding French into the mix would work to define Marc as French but all the sentences in French are stupid statements that could easily be said in English. Statements like: C'est vrai or C'est une idee stupide! See what I'm getting at? Oh well onto Artwork.

David Finch is a talented artist but his artwork can't save this story and it only serves to heighten the nausea already caused by Huston's writing. Finch's artwork doesn't do the reader any favours by displaying the horrifying gore in detail. Next story.

SPOILERS AHEAD

The story is odd simply put. I thought this was a reboot, a fresh perspective on Moon Knight but Huston keeps referring to the old 1980s series, you can almost feel him nudging you with his elbow. I don't mind keeping the old characters but the story seems so disjointed you can't tell why Huston chose to include them. They seem to pop up in very awkwardly staged scenes. The drama is so overplayed in this story that it just annoys you; Marc Spector is d*ck to all his friends and he finds it hard to express himself without dropping a number of F-words into his sentences. Another problem is the villain or villains in this case, the Committee. We as readers are never given a reason for why they wish to harm Spector; at some point the head of the group states that they wish to accomplish what their forefathers set out to do and that's about it. A couple of boring fight scenes later Spector crashes his Moon-copter into their HQ meaning he knew where they were the entire time which begs the question why he took X number of issues to get his sh*t together to accomplish what ultimately took up one page in the book.

Leave this one on the shelf

This was so gross and gory lol. Still kinda lit but ew. The art is so dark and gritty and my man really peeled the face off of a bad guy. Sometimes the art was so wild I had no idea wtf was happening though.

I really only picked this up because of the MCU Moon Knight trailer dropping but honestly I'm into it? I don't like the art and the way the story was told was so confusing and twisty but the character is interesting. The Batman vibe was badass. Dude so buff though; comics are hilarious. Even Taskmaster was shit brickhouse.

This guy Moon Knight is literally Batman but his theme is moons not bats. I have no problem with this but I died when they went to the moon cave after flying in his moon shaped helicopter. He's so dark and scary but I just know he goes to Home Goods and buys everything with a moon on it. Bet you he has a "live, laugh, love" sign with the cycles of the moon on it hanging in the moon bathroom above the moon toilet.

Just imagine having this origin story just to have to make your own gadgets?? No powers, really???

There were multiple moments where he just said VENGEANCE out of nowhere and I don't think I was supposed to find it funny. He's just so serious and dramatic. He kinda gives the vibe that I would be safe with him but I would 1000% fear for my life at the same time.

But still into it! Love the moon!!
