Status Updates From Moon Knight Omnibus, Vol. 1

Marvel Spotlight 29

These issues are a fun setup for Moon Knight, but until they become fleshed out they feel a little generic. I think the superpowers from the werewolf bite are an interesting concept, but ultimately glad they have been forgotten. It’s fascinating to see Moon Knight before any relation to Khonshu. The checkerboard fight with Conquer Lord won me over to liking his role as generic goofy villain.

The spotlight issue introduces Steven Grant and Jake Lockley into the mix, but at this point they are just alter egos for Marc. He also has powers based on the moon, after saliva from WBN gives him werewolf strength. Conquer Lord is so goofy and not super interesting. I think Marc’s snark is unexpectedly funny, and almost makes me wish he had a little more if it in current day runs.

He got his bread.

Moon Knight captures Jack Russell and secured his $10k bag. But he’s not a totally shitty guy so he releases the beast on the fat cats who wanna use the werewolf to commit ‘business murders?’.

Werewolf by Night 32

I believe I read this ages ago, but I just picked up the Moon Knight Omnibus and thoroughly enjoyed this issue. It’s interesting to see the beginnings of the character of Moon Knight especially since I know how he evolves. His conception being just some solider handed a silver suit so he can hunt a werewolf for bread is very detached from what he becomes.

Taking a break on this for a bit, just a lot to read in one sitting. I've been rating each comic as I go - average so far is 3.29 ⭐️
