A better comic than I remembered and definitely worth a look if you want a peek into Moon Knight's psyche.
2017
I'm still enjoying this title quite a bit, but I'm torn on the Moon Knight In Space persona. To me, it was just an extra layer of looney that Marc Spector didn't need. However, everything did sort of make sense in a crazy way at the end. So...ok.
The overall story is good, though. All of Spector's personalities cycle through storylines that are potentially imaginary, with each one's life bleeding more and more into each other in small but significant ways.
Of course, you never know where the story is taking place, or even if the story is actually taking place, until the last few pages. Good stuff!
This also includes the 2nd issue of the 1980 Moon Knight. Spector is tracking a serial killer and it leads to the reader's introduction to Gena and Crawley. It's also interesting to see that Spector uses the Grant/Lockley personas like aliases instead of straight-up extra personalities.
This is definitely worth a peek if you're interested in finding a less traditional superhero.

We flip through Marc's different personalities as they begin to collapse upon one another. There's some interesting storytelling here with a different artist drawing each personality. All in all though, I hope this closes that chapter as we've all seen this before in Warren Ellis's and Brian Michael Bendis's runs on the character.

If you’ve read any Moon Knight comics you’ll know the hero, Marc Spector/Moon Knight, is madder than a box of frogs. He’s completely crazy in the coconut! That’s what Jeff Lemire’s second Moon Knight book is all about underlining - and unfortunately not much else.
There are three seemingly disparate men - a movie producer, a cab driver, and a space pilot - all living very different, strange lives, but the twist is… I won’t give it away but you can probably guess. And the predictability for me overshadowed the kooky variety of the three stories because I knew none of it mattered.
I loved the range of artists who drew this one. Wilfredo Torres, Francesco Francavilla and James Stokoe each lend their own unique drawing styles to each different storyline with series regular Greg Smallwood jumping in at the end. Barring Torres, the other three artists are among my favourites currently working and the comic looks fan-dabby-dozy as a result.
Lemire’s story though… eh. It’s been done and done frankly too many times for this character. As far as this kind of story goes though, it’s done very well, I just wish there was more to it. We get it, Moon Knight’s a nutter, can we please move past that and put him in actual stories, like perhaps continuing the storyline set up in the first book??
Moon Knight, Volume 2: Reincarnations lacks a substantive story but has enough going on to more-or-less hold your interest and the art is brilliant for the most part. I’m still interested in the title and hopeful that the next book will be better but I’m not sure if Jeff Lemire’s going to produce the goods for mad old Moony.

"Hey, fellas . . . Thanks for coming . . . We need to talk." -- Marc Spector to his alter egos
Not quite as strong or satisfying as Vol. 1: Lunatic, the follow-up increases on the oddness factor with Spector's dueling personalities each having their own, brief dread-inspired adventure. He then stages an intervention (or gentle confrontation, depending on your point of view) and - finally having a moment of clarity, in perhaps this volume's best scene - tries to get all of his identities in check.

“Moon Knight” is a third rate character at best”--a guy making a Marvel movie about Moon Knight
This run by Lemire and co. focuses on the madness of Marc Spector and his multiple aliases/personalities-Mark Spector/Jake Longley/Stephen Grant/Moon Knight complete with Egyptian mythological gods and multiple artists and werewolves and Midnight Man (a ghoul) and a perfect set up for a reading of Michael Pollan’s book about the uses of acid (LSD!) in the treatment of mental health issues, since the constantly shifting ground in this run is very very trippy. And I would say so far that it is more trippy/entertaining than useful for understanding and intervening in actual, real-world mental health issues.
I know, it’s a comic book; Lemire is not a psychologist, but still. It is a fun ride of sorts, but if you are dealing with as many mental health issues as I am at the present (I am personally fine, thanks) with various individuals in my life and work, it seems a little like this comics series is full of stereotypes about mental illness, and maybe multiple personalities in particular. We got your masks/alter egos, multiple personality disorder; he’s mad! Lemire is known for creating a sense of empathy, but I think his approach here actually undermines confidence in his ability to take seriously a psychological frame for seeing the world.
Let’s try to see what advice for us he has about mental health, in Volume 2: Reincarnations. We are told to: Face your demons. Become whole by living in integrity and serving society and not with all these false identities. My body, my mind, my self. The title is Reincarnation, where Marc begins the process of destroying his false identities--without drugs, without therapists, and just becomes Himself, reincarnated. There's a lot of psychobabble about masks, alter egos, multiple personalities, but it all feels like pop psychology to me, shallow.
One central idea here that you can see from the cover is that Marc may be in a movie of his own making, with various characters involved in a paranoid conspiracy theory to keep him from Doing Good. Very jumpy, moving quickly from one self to the other.
Well, I like the art, all the jarring arts styles for the different characters--a different set of artists for each personality. Even an oldie from Bill Sienkiewicz form decades ago! They get credit for that!
I like it pretty well, I guess. It kind of reminded me of the Coen Brothers' crazy film, Barton Fink. And made me think of Michel Foucault’s Madness and Civilization, where “crazy” is actually a concept that is culturally defined within any given age. Who is really crazy here? Spector has had his mental struggles. The guy who sells his soul to get them all out of the psych hospital, Crawley, he seems at times visionary, at some times delusional. Maybe Lemire and the team are trying to make us crazy will all the chaotic narratives!

I love the emergence of mental illness in not just comics, but all media. I especially like how it is getting more realistic and/or subtle, working its way to a kind of acceptance at last.
Moon Knight is, at least with this run, easily topping the charts for me, right behind the Immortal Hulk, at least for the Marvels.
I should note, in this volume, I laughed my ass off about the inside jokes about Marvel studios and how big Ant Man got overseas. :)

This second volume jumps frantically from one of our hero's various personalities to the next, but it all feels a bit shallow to me - which is rare for a Lemire book. Not as sharp and inventive as the first volume.

This was an insane volume and so confusing but by the end of it, I loved it!
It is pretty much Mark alternating between Steven and Jake (whose MK atm) and well on one hand he is directing a movie and on the other he is fighting some guy named General Lupinar and the other well Midnight man and its a very confusing scene but we see him trying to reconcile his various personalities and the talk here does hit at some pretty deep mental health topics and Lemire does it beautifully, they are sensitive and really well explored and finally leads to Mark reconciling with them and gets his last mission which will make for a great ending.
Also there is a issue from the past which introduces the cast like Gena, Crawley and the others and also explores Marks various personalities and him fighting some Skid-row slasher which was an okayish read and more focused on Crawley. It was not that special and honestly a chore to read with so much text and captions but then again 80s comics and informs this volume so there's that. Overall I highly recommend this volume!

Moon Knight goes through a very trippy, panel changing, and insane ending volume.
It's pretty much just watching Marc go through a adventure of finding himself while dealing with his different personalities. The ending was for sure the best part as the rest of it was confusing as the first volume with a lot of jumping around. Overall, intrigued how this will end.

Okay, this is basically one long dream sequence, but the writer and artists keep it entertaining enough that I won't punish them for that. I did like that the delusions fed into a mental health breakthrough for Marc Spector, even if it was a bit fast and pat.
p.s. Jeepers, I read that "classic" issue in the back 39 years ago as a floppy. It's somewhere in a box in my basement right now. Feelin' old...

Fun little arc that doesn't do anything to help the stigmatism surrounding mental health. Marc Specter's multiple personalities play out their lives while Marc tries to reign them in. I enjoyed the art, and Lemire delivers smoothe dialogue. I'm hoping now Marc has his mind under control we can move on to a proper story in volume 3

Bella ed intrigante la storia, piacevoli le citazioni di memorabili e classiche saghe passate come quella di Lupinar, la storia del Tagliagole qui ristampata é sempre stata una delle mie preferite del Cavaliere Lunare... Ma tutta la parte del guerriero spaziale mi é parsa davvero ridicola :(

I see an extended theme running on from vol. 1, but this lost me a lot. A bit too mental this volume.

Após escapar do sanatório e ter lidado com uma cidade toda coberta de areia e pirâmides (obra de Konshu), Spector está finalmente "curado" e livre de Konshu?
O encadernado começa com Marc (ou alguma de suas personalidades) lidando com o que parece ser o mundo real, com cada personalidade vivendo sua realidade e seguindo a vida, até o momento em que essas vidas começam a se cruzar, bagunçando a realidade de cada um.
Quando as realidades começam a entrar em crise, Marc entende sua missão e tenta retornar ao sanatório, mas antes, precisa resolver as pendências com suas personalidades, e entender quem ele é de verdade.
Todo esse passeio de Marc é recheado com excelentes desenhos, principalmente do mundo, pois a arte de Greg Smallwood e as cores de Jordie Bellaire, conseguem brincar e retratar bem, com muita criatividade, toda a maluquice envolvendo os mundos e realidades do Cavaleiro da Lua.
Em relação ao volume anterior, conseguimos entender melhor o que está acontecendo nas paginas, sem ficar tão confuso onde Marc esta e o que é real ou não.
Ademais, foi uma edição interessante, que trabalhou com criatividade as múltiplas personalidades do personagem e também busca dar uma direção para que Marc resolva essa questão de suas personalidades.

Is Marc's special power being super-confused all the time? If so, Jeff Lemire's generously sharing it with the readers here.
February 26, 2018
This was so weird and way too wacky for me haha.
July 16, 2017
Yay! It's the plotline that was left cliffhangered in the first book of Moon Knight v6.
This comic continues to rather joyfully bends our perception, making us question what is reality, and in doing so, places us firmly in the mind of Marc Spector. I called it an overdone trope in the last volume, and it is, but it worked for Moon Knight in the previous collection, and it really excels here.
But "Incarnations" is more than that; as the title suggests, it also directly considers Spector's multiple personalities, in a way that few Moon Knight stories have. With Lemire's skillful writing, the result is a confusing, intriguing, and ultimately moving volume of Moon Knight. Put it together with book 1, and this latest Moon Knight run has all the markings of becoming an iconic and classic run.

Slight downhill from a very cool volume 1. I think the length of these volumes is also a hindrance, this is a very short volume leaving the story a bit thin. So volume 2 is still dealing with the completely bonkers Moon knight even more so. You are caught between all the personalities shifting for control and it is a little jarring at times. Luckily we get a resolution at the end of this book and I am glad we can move on. The writing from Lemire is fine its not noteworthy but he manages to make a crazy character readable. The art is actually very cool since it changes with the personalities, I liked that a lot. I will check out volume 3
July 16, 2017
Moon Knight's current insanity continues in this second arc, which pumps the brakes hard as Marc Spector, the Moon Knight, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley all get their own storylines running parallel off of the back of the previous arc's ending.
With Spector's mind literally splintering into pieces, these four personalities war against each other as they attempt to work out whose reality is real, and whose is fake. The ultimate answer will set the stage for the final arc of the series.
Where the previous Moon Knight series was all about self-contained stories, this volume looks more likely to tell one longer one, which is refreshing, and works just as well. Lemire's handling of the subtleties of the facets of Marc's personality is great, and the way the four stories dovetail together at the end is a worthwhile payoff. That said, this arc probably didn't need to be four issues; the actual story progression is very limited overall.
The artwork is shared between series artist Greg Smallwood on the Marc Spector sections, who makes a triumphant return in the final issues, as well as the brilliant Francesco Francavilla who does so much with so little in the Jake Lockley parts, Wilfredo Torres' more straight forward artwork for Steven Grant's blander life, and James Stokoe who pulls some Geof Darrow level stuff for the Moon Knight sections. Their styles are all extremely different, but that's why this works so well.
A good experiment in terms of comic book craft, if a little short in terms of actual storyline. I hope Lemire and co. can stick the landing.

Lemire's second arc starts off unsteady, but by design. He keeps us off balance with different artists and jarring transitions between seemingly unrelated storylines. This part might be hardest for new fans to follow. But if you stick with it, the resolution of it all is very satisfying. Lemire's still focusing on the mental illness angle and it's still unclear whether or not anything that has happened thus far is only happening in Spector's mind. The third arc, where MK confronts Konshu promises to be exciting and possibly historic for this underrated but incredibly complex hero.

While still a solid exploration of multiple personas, this felt a bit clunkier in its attempt to depict the realities of Moon Knight's character, but it is in the resolution and final act that the story gets back its signature style and narrative.
While it was fun to watch these stories take a life of its own, the narrative that went with them could have benefited from a bit more development to get things going.

More Moon Knight insanity story line here. This is an amazing story by Jeff Lemire here as he uses different artists for different phases of March Spector. I am going to be sad to see this wrapped up but excited to hopefully see the next phase of Moon Knight. This has been one heck of a journey that started with Doug Moench.

The main idea of ambiguity and unreliable characters that makes the first volume so good starts to get old. If I have read this title monthly I would probably had dropped it during this volume.
July 1, 2017
This series just isn't doing it for me. In this volume we explore the different personalities of Moon Knight as he flips through each one. Is he in outer space battling werewolves? Is he a movie producer and Moon Knight only a character in a movie? Is he a cab driver who's really Moon Knight? Things keep going back and forth between these characters and at the end of the volume I'm still not entirely sure what's going on. Art's not bad, but not enough to save the confusing story.
There's one final volume in the series which I'll read to hopefully clear things up a little, but really this series has been disappointing.

we continue to delve into one man's mental illness in a tale well told by not over telling. The art is allowed equal time with the script and together they entertain. The only oddity was the inclusion of an old comic from 1980 which is so stylistically different in both style and text that it jars one out of the enjoyable read and ends the volume on a sour note.
March 9, 2017
This went from "what the hell" in volume one to "WHAT THE F#*%" in volume two real quick.
Things seem to be coming together. This story is still damn intriguing, I just hope it pays off!

3.5 stars. Not nearly as gripping as Lemire's first take on the character, but interesting nonetheless.

3.5:
I really liked last volume. I loved the whole trippy aspect that it had to it. But, sadly I think this one wasn’t as good in my opinion. Not that it’s bad, there was just one thing that bothered me.
The three personalities, go off on there own adventures which slowly start to blur together. Jake continues his cab business. Marc goes to the moon to fight space werewolf’s. And, Steven is directing a Moonknight movie.
Along with the characters, we are trying to figure out what the heck is going on. This is something that is good for maybe one issue. But then, (for me anyways) gets kinda annoying. That was the main reason why I didn’t like this as much.
Originally I was going to rate this a 3 stars. But then I read the last issue. I really liked it and in my opinion saves the whole volume. It even sets up the next one!
Now let’s talk about the art. For each personality, there is a different art style. My personal favorite was the one that Marc had.
Overall, it’s pretty good. Not great, but definitely worth a read.
