My favourite Marvel series as of now.
I always enjoy witnessing the concept art behind visually interesting series/movies/games, and this time my thrill was multiplied. It's one of those series for which you have heard mediocre things, resulting in you underestimating its quality, but when you finally watch it, it ends up having a great impact on you. First time I watched it I thought it was a very very well played out story and it portrayed concepts I was interested in; Egyptian mythology, a rare (in media) mental health issue representation, powerful and interesting female lead with whom I could identify myself, excellent acting from both the protagonist and the antagonist that made me care deeply for the characters, entertaining secondary characters who are important to the story, and beautiful cinematography along with a wonderful OST (which I ended up listening on Spotify many times). Then it stayed with me. I ended up thinking about this series quite a lot.
This is what makes me wonder why this artbook has no reviews. Where are my fellow Moon Knight enjoyers? I had tried to find this book from local or grand stores in my country but it wasn't being sold anywhere close, so I got it from amazon. It was a gift from my father, and I appreciate that a lot, because it was quite a costly product and also because I really really love this series.
Now about the artbook.
Scarlet Scarab's design was the highlight of the book for me. Excellent design, texture-wise, colour-wise, everything. The hair-tale design of Ammit was also a great idea. I enjoyed reading about the thought process behind the designs of each god of the Ennead as well as the Heka priests. The close-ups of each prop, the weapons, the small details of the uniforms, even the moon-design on the shoe sole were all truly fascinating to my enthusiastic brain.
Just like Mohamed Diab, Episode 5 is my favourite. The way the storytelling plays with the possibilities of it all being a reality or an illusion of an unstable brain, this duality which we as observers are forced to face, it brings us closer to our protagonist's position, it makes us feel what he feels, it makes us see through his eyes. And Oscar's acting pushes the concept to come to life in an unparalleled way.
Marvel took the game one step further with this series and I hope I'll find other people as excited for it as I still remain.

July 15, 2025such a nerd for moon knight so ofc i got this book.
my main man oscar isaac!! he was an executive producer as well as the actor for steven/marc/jake. i think hes part of what makes the show so great. and he fully committed to having it be a complex character study, and you know i love characters.
executive producer grant curtis said “our compass is always character, character, character.”
and there’s so much detail!! “we went wild trying to manifest this in every minute detail” (mohamed diab) and it shows!! we need a season 2 right now you guys.

4.8/5.0
The elegance created from the lore that is Egyptian history is presented so beautifully in this series. Pairing that with the intricacies of mental health concepts and cult-based propaganda makes for one of the darker MCU experiences to date.
