Rating: 4/5
I want to start off by saying that I've always enjoyed Moon Knight stories. Marc Spector was a mercenary who died on a mission in Egypt, was resurrected by the Egyptian god Khonshu, has multiple personalities, and now fights crime in New York.
The creators nailed the character in this volume. This follows a stint by Warren Ellis that I really liked as well. When I read the description for this book I was thrown a bit because it seemed like they were trying to do too much, but it all ties together pretty well. Plus, one of his costumes is an all white three-piece suit.
Marc Spector is seeing a shrink and Moon Knight is fighting to save the life of an African dictator. Spector is beaten, arrested, abandoned by Khonshu, and has to fight his way back out of the mess he created. The doctor and the dictator, and their relationship, are kind of the backbone here, but they give Moon Knight a chance to shine. There is a slow build to connect things and then it lets loose.
The creators really embrace the various personalities associated with Moon Knight. From the art used to depict them to the "team" they form to stop a terrorist, there is a lot of effort put into them. This probably isn't the place for a beginner to start, but anyone with some familiarity with the character should enjoy it.
