A notably different tone than we got from Bendis, but with a character as strange as Moon Knight, I suppose that's hardly a surprise. This volume delivers a more brutal vigilante dealing with a variety of strange cases. The strong art and stark white of the title character stand out, but the disconnected stories mostly lack depth and are difficult to connect with beyond a series of events. Even Marc Spector's personalities take a back seat to each scenario, introduced and then resolved over the course of a separate issue.

Cool art work, but this is mid-tier Ellis. The whole volume could be summed up in:
"A (superhero backstory) and he beats down a couple of baddies while being a bit more eccentric than the usual."
Sorry but I don't get the hype.

This was... okay. The story isn't much more than something to justify the aesthetics and cool scenes and those are nice, but I kind of expected a little more from the character and plot. I'll be skipping ahead to the 2016 MK.

I absolutely loooooved this.
"You're crazy."
"It's been said."
"Also, I hate to be the one to point this out, but wearing a white suit... he's kinda going to see you coming."
“That’s the part I like.”
"I've died before. It was boring, so I stood up."
"I am precisely qualified. Dreams are people who travel at night. This is my specialist subject."
"What are you supposed to be?"
"The one you see coming."

A bunch of short dark standalone stories. But good. Creepy and each different. I certainly want to read tons of volumes like this one. But as a re-introduction it kind of works. With better than typical art and writing.

Comics don't get much better than this.
I have always been a fan of Moon Knight, sort of Marvel's answer to Batman, but with a more mystical background.
Ellis and crew in this short run have absolutely nailed the character bringing the best of his past into a new take on the character.
