Marc Spector (a.k.a. Moon Knight/Jake Lockley/Steven Grant) has been fighting criminals and keeping New York City safe for years... or has he? When he wakes up in an insane asylum with no powers and a lifetime's worth of medical records, his whole identity (indentities) are called into question. Something is wrong, but is that something Marc Spector himself? Jeff Lemire (EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN) and rising star Greg Smallwood are calling everything you know about Moon Knight into question.

A welcome throwback to Classic Moon Knight.

Spoiler-free review from a 3 year Moon Knight fan.

This story arc continues the reletively recent trend of Moon Knight being outright crazy instead of mildly disturbed.

To those unfamiliar with classic Moon Knight, under Doug Monech's run, Moon Knight was an individual who created three false identities of vigilante, rich socialite, and taxi driver in order to escape his true past as a mercenary and further his aims as a crime fighter.

Thoughout his original adventures, he had constant allies that frequently made fun of and referenced that his personas might drive him crazy one day if they already hadn't.

That concept has been expanded where his personas are a legimate illness, (or magic side effect), flip flopping in source and severity for the last 10 years of publication.

Much to my personal chagrin, Moon Knight's old allies have been sidelined in tandem with the focus on his "madness"

Back to the present, this story provides a nice mix of both the classic and modern moon knight, keeping the exaggerated madness as well as bringing back old faces.

The art fits well with the art style of the last series under the Marvel Now imprint and many design choices persist such as the new persona of "Mister Knight".

For older fans longing for some of the old hallmarks of the character to return, but still love the new style of the 2014 run, this is the perfect hybrid of both without sacrificing focus.

For newer readers, I would be hard pressed to recommend this only because the style and cameos aren't expanded upon and I have yet to find a series run that plays catch up sufficiently without the reader having to start at the Moon Knight's beginning.

This is story was a thrilling ride with twists and turns that eventually allows the reader to pick their own ending.
Nothing was simple. Everything open to interpretation. Brilliant!

Trippy! Really liked the story and the constant doubt whether Marc is who he says he is. Very fun!

This is such a good "wtf is going on" kinda story. 10/10 would read again. Even with minimal moon knight knowledge still a fantastic read.

what a amazing start of this new MK volume which hopefully sales can stay strong so it can't get canceled again... MK is a fascinating character and it's time he deserves the spotlight. the art of this series by Greg Smallwood is breathtaking. this and Warren Ellis run are the best yet!

The art is real nice, kind of a bill seinkiewicz rip-off

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017

The art is real nice, kind of a bill seinkiewicz rip-off, but it's done well. The story felt like my mind when I still drank: a confused topsy-turvy world where I had trouble differentiating between reality. I guess also all the Egyptian mythology stuff wasn't there either. Didn't realize there was a second trade until after I bought it, oh well, I guess that's life (or Amazon), trying to tell me that maybe if I had Prime, they'd have recommended it to me. A+: would buy again from this seller if I lose the book to a future ex-girlfriend..

Anyone familiar with Moon Knight's long history (in my case, it goes back to his short story backup days in Marvel's Incredible Hulk magazine) is going to find this collection a sad affair. However, it's also clever, intriguing and impossible to put down. The ending is merely the beginning. Be ready to purchase the next volume immediately after reading ... that's what I did!

Never really been that interested in Moon Knight but with Jeff Lemire killing it on Old Man Logan I'd thought I'd give it a whirl and it was...different. I ran thru it pretty quickly but was left with more questions then answers but my interest is definitely piqued and looking forward to see where this story goes

Not even worth 1 star

Very dodgy communication
Vague about refund
Had to chase up several times

Received notification that the item couldn’t be returned to the prepaid address, also very dodgy

Good Art and Story!

Reviewed in Canada on February 11, 2018

Jeff Lemire's first volume of Moon Knight was mind bending, engaging, and entertaining. It was very different from other Moon Knight stories and we don't get to see Moon Knight himself in action very much, but this story focuses more on the insanity plaguing Marc Spector and how he grapples with his own mind. Very interesting read, and it made me want to pick up the next volume so I'd say mission accomplished.

There's just something so interesting reading about a man barely hanging on to his sanity and the people willing to stand by him no matter what. It's a great read for anyone interested in his up and coming television series on Disney plus .
