Scott's Take: Moon Knight Vol 1.: Lunatic by Jeff Lemire


Moon Knight Vol 1.: Lunatic by Jeff Lemire opens with Marc Spector waking up in a mental ward where people claim he has never been Moon Knight and that he is just delusional. However, he quickly realizes that hiding behind the faces of these normal people are actually gods and monsters who want to keep him in prisoned in this “hospital.” If that was not bad enough, some of his friends are also imprisoned with him. It is up to him and his friends to fight their way out of this “hospital” and get back to the real world.

Filled with plenty of action, Egyptian mythology, and beautiful art, this is a fun read.  The constant switching between the art of the normal world and a more surreal Egyptian stylized art is very interesting. I recommend Moon Knight Vol 1.: Lunatic by Jeff Lemire for readers who are okay with a bit more mind bending in their narrative than a lot of the more grounded stories.

 

 

My reading copy came from the Bachman Lake Branch of the Dallas Public Library System.
