Moon Knight Omnibus

Product Information

Collects a trio of connected one shots; this is the first. It’s preceded by Miles Morales and followed by Amazing Spider-Man.

Basically, he’s every bit as unstable as Batman ought to be played, with the added bonus of multiple identities and never quite being sure he can believe the reality around him. Collects Werewolf by Night (1972) #32-33, Moon Knight (1980) #13, Moon Knight Annual (2016) 1/2019, and material from Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #220. Oh boy, where to start with this dog's breakfast... Complex and nuanced character becomes generic, one dimensional revenge machine. Yawn!Original Sin: Marc is part of the primary cast of this event and appears throughout. See Guide to Marvel Universe Events – Original Sin. In 1986, he began working for Eclipse Comics, writing Airboy with artist Tim Truman. Continuing to write for both Marvel and (mainly) Eclipse on these titles, as well as launching Strike! with artist Tom Lyle in August 1987 and Valkyrie with artist Paul Gulacy in October 1987, he began work on Carl Potts' Alien Legion series for Marvel's Epic Comics imprint, under editor Archie Goodwin. He also produced a three-issue adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for Eclipse with artist David Wenzel between 1989 and 1990, and began writing Marc Spector: Moon Knight in June 1989. The Omnibus sadly ends kind of dour. I like Moon Knight being a badass superhero, and the art for the first arc of Hurwitz run is great. There's some funny moments even like Moon Knight's internal thoughts during secret avengers mission.

Collects Moon Knight (2006) #1-30 & Annual 1, Moon Knight: Silent Knight (2008) #1, Vengeance of the Moon Knight (2009) #1-10, and Shadowland: Moon Knight (2010) #1-3

Moon Knight Reading Order

The first two volumes covered the start of Moon Knight up until the fist of Khonshu. While bumpy at times, it was all pretty fun save the fist of Khonshu mini. That was mostly 70's and early 80's. This run is mostly the 2000's and we have 3 writers Huston, Benson, and Hurwitz. Do these three writers bring their A game? Hot damn, I would say this is the most deflated I had felt at a Marvel book in some time, although that statement would be about as honest and as credible as those for whom allude to the fact that Moon Knight is basically Marvel's version of Batman. Maybe that's how Marvel would like to spin it, hoping to capitalise on the popularity of the Dark Knight, although apart from the most miniscule and tacit of comparisons, Moon Knight is about as far from the Caped Crusader as I am. Marc’s parade of high-profile writers continues in Marvel Legacy, with Say Anything lead singer Max Bemis penning his renumbered series and giving him an arch-nemesis rooted in his Egyptian origins. Technically the annual is from a standalone volume, rather than the 2016 volume.

Marvel Super Heroes #1: This is included in Essential Vol. 3, above. Due to the nature of this book – using inventory stories that had no other home, the issue actually fits into continuity here – prior to its release in 1990 Issue #13 is Marc’s first encounter with Daredevil, which is also collected in Shadowland: Moon Knight, below. When Siekeiwincz is inking his own stuff this is 5/5. His art starts with a Neal Adams flavour but gradually finds its way to the more experimental style Bill has become associated with. But whenever he inks his own stuff the art is breathtaking. When others ink it? Not so much. Infinity War: See Guide to Marvel Universe Events – Infinity War. This crosses into issues #41-44. Marc appears in Infinity War #2-4 and across many tie-ins. Issue #4 contains action that continues through Moon Knight #41-44.The stories range in quality but most fall into mediocre. Doug is a solid writer and above average for most of his peers at the time and he does a great job fleshing out the side character around Moon Knight and giving character driven stories. The "failing" is Moon Knight never gets a villain worthy of him and if I know anything about comics it is that - a hero is only as interesting as the villains he fights. Moon Knight has none. The best story is actually when he borrows Daredevil's villain (The Jester). I suoi amici provano a spronarlo, ma lui è troppo incattivito. Solo un atto di violenza contro uno dei suoi migliori amici di vecchia data, lo costringono finalmente a chiedere aiuto a Konshu, di guarirlo e dargli la forza di vendicarsi. Collects Moon Knight (2006) 1-30, Moon Knight Annual (2007) 1, Moon Knight: Silent Knight (2008) 1, Vengeance of the Moon Knight (2009) 1-10, Shadowland: Moon Knight (2010) 1-3 From the get go I felt as though I was thrown in the deep end here. Being a new reader to Moon Knight I didn't really know who the characters were and there wasn't any detailed explanations, just occasional nods to their shared past, which was slightly irritating as it made it very clear I was missing a lot of details here. Another relaunch at Marvel with All-New, All-Different, sees Marc Spector waking up in an insane asylum with no powers and a lifetime’s worth of medical records. What’s false, and what’s real? This is Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood’s surreal take on the character, taking us on a trip forcing Spector to question everything he thought he knew and mostly finding a way to kill the past, his demons, his gods.
