Spector faces a personal upset when Marlene leaves him and is unwilling to talk. But girlfriend troubles are the least of Moon Knight’s worries when organization O.M.N.I.U.M. enters the fray!
Goddamnit Goodreads Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #1-6 Well apparently Goodreads doesn't f**king have issues 1,2,5, and 6. Goddamnit! So I gotta review all six issues here. This was yet another re-launch of the Moon Knight character in the 1980s. This takes the speculation of Moon Knight having powers and confirms it, making him fully supernatural. So this miniseries mainly focuses on that aspect but leaves everything else out for the most part. For example his multiple personalities. Jake Lockley is nowhere to be seen. But that’s fine. New take, new focus. This series started out pretty good, progressively got worse, but ended with a legitimately great issue. Throughout all the issues Marc Spector is being spoken to by the priests of Khonshu about where crimes are taking place. That is a good little feature I thought, especially since we see this happen a gazillion times throughout the six issues. The first issue shows how Marc Spector gets back to being Moon Knight, issue 2 Moon Knight fights a generic villain along side another potential love interest, issue 3 Moon Knight a generic villain from previous lore, issue 4 he fights a generic villain, issue 5 Moon Knight fights a generic group of villains, and issue 6 was pretty dope. And that's a pun. HA HA HO HEE HEE HA AHA. Issues 3, 4, and 5 were pretty hard to get through not gonna lie. They were as I said, generic, uninspired and just plain boring. The art is great throughout the miniseries though. So that's something you can look forward to. Really fantastic 80s artwork. To be completely honest if you just want to read a great Moon Knight issue that's mostly stand-alone, read issue 6. This was a compelling, badass, and well written issue with an amazing ending that actually shows a very important decision that Moon Knight makes. It also tackles a subject that is a little touchy especially for its time. That's the worst part about the entire series. Issues 2, 3, 4, and 5 are very mediocre and disposable.
Okay now I am going to cover the specific technical things I noticed in the book that were either bad or good. -Many Cheesy-ass lines -Generic villains -Moon Knight is way to worried about hurting people -His dialogue is way to similar to Spider-Man’s intern not emphasizing feel of the avatar of Khonshu -The suit is pretty cool except for the face being visible -Great art -A giant ass info exposition dump in issue 2 (#1-6) Letter Grade: (C+)
Read this issue to get to know Arthur Harrow since he's inspiration for the villain in the upcoming disney+ series. I got surprised, it's nice, really like the art style, the narration is also great.
