Once again, Moon Knight has a new status
quo, a new supporting cast, and a new writer. Moon Knight Vol. 1: The Midnight
Mission, begins after the events of The Age of Khonsu (Moon Knight
attacked the Avengers and helped Khonshu take over the world. Eventually he was
convinced to flip and side with the Avengers and ultimately helped overthrow
Khonshu), his girlfriend has left him and taken their daughter. As part of his
deal with the Avengers, Moon Night/ Marc he has a new therapist and is
attempting to help people by operating out of the Midnight Mission. People come
to him to report things that are weird and horrible and Moon Knight goes out to
fight them.
Moon Knight Vol. 1: The Midnight Mission is a complicated book that features lots of action, incredible artwork, and character development. Marc is not in a good place, but that opens him up to an introspective journey. He faces a wide variety of enemies in this volume. From vampires to criminal masterminds, Moon Knight will fight anyone who preys on the people who travel by night. I highly recommend this tale for fans of the Moon Knight character. This series is continued in Moon Knight Vol 2 which is currently uncollected and untitled as the individual comics will continue to come out over the summer.
My read came from Dad’s old stomping grounds when he was a teen, the Audelia Branch, of the Dallas Public Library System.
