Definitely the worst of the three collections of this run. I feel like it tried to be like the Warren Ellis run, but failed hard. It had some good but it just couldn’t keep it all together and was really inconsistent. It is hard to live up to such strong beginnings.
2022Loosely interconnected, some of these issues are better than others. 2017Oooooh! That's a dick move, Konshu.A lot of people think Bunn's volume is a weak finish to this particular Moon Knight run, but I liked it. It reverts back to Ellis' one-shot style but there's an underlying arc anyway.Marc goes from one fight to the next, righting the wrongs against those that travel at night. But Konshu isn't the Western version of a god - full of love for the good and innocent. He has several differe...
The latest Moon Knight run comes to an end as yet another new creative team takes over - this time it’s Cullen Bunn writing and Ron Ackins, Steven Sanders, and German Peralta drawing. The first couple chapters are standalone short stories. Marc Spector/Moon Knight fights some evil ghostbusters who’re turning spirits into expensive novelty gifts, before taking down a bitter dude who’s training large dogs to attack the wealthy for being wealthy. It’s nothing very memorable. The last three issues f...
I think Moon Knight is a fantastic character and this series was going so well even under several different creators. Such a shame he's not given the big treatment and kept under a good writer.
Check out my interview with writer Cullen Bunn here: https://youtu.be/7V1aFB6KyMwUmm... huh?Sooo I dug it... kinda... but I definitely didn’t understand. Is Konshu a badguy? Is Spector insane?Awesome art. Especially that horrible monster thing. The action and overall tone was awesome. I also dug the dialogue and characterization. It was just missing some sort of clarity gelling it all together.I just felt lost. Especially at the end. Maybe I need to read it again.3 stars for now, maybe more when...
The general consensus on this volume of Moon Knight seems to be that it is the weakest of the three recent Moon Knight collections and it’s hard to disagree. It didn’t come up to the standard of the first two, but… saying that, those first two were incredibly good and a very high target to hit, so that doesn’t mean volume three is bad.I actually enjoyed this volume quite a bit, especially #16. I think that, if Marvel are intending on bringing this book back post-Secret Wars, they should give the...
It's a bit more than just decent, but it doesn't quite live up to the very high standards set by Ellis and Wood when they had their turns with the character. Bunn keeps the character of Moon Knight close to what had been established in previous issues, so that much at least hasn't changed. This time around, we have a series of short stories that aren't really related, though the later issues all have a common theme: Khonshu is not Marc's friend, and is not to be trusted. It is a disquieting noti...
2022 ReviewThis is the weakest of the 3 volumes. We are back to done-in-one stories, but with the undercurrent that Khonshu may be way more bloodthirsty than Moon Knight realized. Moon Knight is back to acting crazy in front of others which I didn't like. The story feels unfinished as it ends. Lets hope Lemire picks up the same thread and runs with it, because I honestly don't remember what happened in his run. I'll soon rectify that though.2016 ReviewA series of stand alone stories connected by...
Sadly, Cullen Bunn's take on Moon Knight was not as stellar as Ellis' or Wood's. It is still pretty good, but the magic is gone.
This seems to be the last volume of the series, and I'm sad to see it go. As I've stated in previous reviews, this is basically a Vertigo Superhero story by way of Marvel.We had several unusual stories in this volume. Literal ghosts ask Moon Knight for help. A pack of dogs is used as a weapon. A true monster lives under childrens beds until Moon Knight pulls him into the light. And a cult of Khonshu shows its evil face and Moon Knight must deal with it.Overall, a strong and original volume with
Well, there goes yet another (the seventh!) series of Moon Knight to get cancelled. Cullen Bunn did his best to emulate the tone set by Warren Ellis and Brian Wood (in Moon Knight, Vol. 1: From the Dead and Moon Knight, Vol. 2: Dead Will Rise, respectively), but ultimately it seems the readership (read: the sales) just wasn't large enough. It says a lot when they can't even have the same artist(s) illustrate five sequential issues (the art - pencils & ink combined - is supplied by no less than F...
I really like Moon Knight, but this volume didn't do him justice. This is more a collection of stand alone stories than a continuous arc. The creators on this one, which are different from each of the previous two volumes, do a good job portraying the character. I especially liked the art.If there is any connecting factor to these stories, it is the heavy presence of Khonshu, the Egyptian god that turned Marc Spector into Moon Knight, and his followers. It fleshes out more of Moon Knight's world...
Something really bad happened to Moon Knight in volume 2.………………………………..............................Well, don’t leave us hanging, Jeff. What was it?Dunno. I didn’t read volume 2, but it was really bad.Ass!Glad you got that off your chest, Goodreader!So Moon Knight. We all know who he is now and that he dresses really spiffy.So what’s going down?Konshu, the God of Super Heroes with a Screw Loose is mad at Moon Knight because he has a soft spot for ghosts and, aww, who wouldn’t:Focus, Jeff, focus.M...
Completely confused but kind of awesome. I kind of have lost track of who Moon Knight is and who he isn't. This isn't an especially good book for figuring it out. There's not a lot of tell here, but there is an awful lot of show. Bunch of short snippets. Pretty cool. Probably cooler if I had a better grasp of what was going on.
Astonishing anthology, an exquisite combination of themes, words and art. I considered myself a ho-hum Moon Knight fan before this, but now I am most assuredly All In.
After the excellence of From The Dead and the surprisingly good follow-up of Dead Will Rise, the final volume of this iteration of Moon Knight was always going to have a hard time bringing up the rear.Cullen Bunn attempts to replicate the success of the previous volumes with similar done-in-one stories, from a variety of genres, but what he seems to miss is that although the past 2 groups of 6 issues were all separate stories, they all had some kind of connective thread that made them all specia...
Oh how the mighty have fallen! This volume is absolute garbage, especially in the art department. Ron Ackins is awful. He has no business drawing human faces. Thankfully Moon Knight has a mask for most of his issues. Everything else still looks awful, though. German Peralta isn't much better. This is all just SO ugly, and it's even worse because Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire did such an amazing job in the first volume (and they're still haunting us by doing the covers). On top of that, the
Fairly weak all around, from the storytelling (which mimics Warren Ellis' run) to the art. Definitely a case of the law of diminishing returns...
If it wasn't for the episodic nature of the series, this would've been a masterpiece, so good I'm now planning to read all the past volumes of Moon Knight. Everything was top notch, the stories and the character were cool as fuck and I loved the art throughout the whole run. I always dismissed Moon Knight as Marvel's Batman, and in a way, he kinda is, but I can now see how cool and unique he can actually be.
Cullen Bunn takes control of the third book of this volume of Moon Knight that Warren Ellis kicked off with a similar one shot issue structure approach. There is not a lot of dialogue, just a lot of action mixed with some introspection and perhaps the super natural. This entire volume of Moon Knight has been mostly a guilty pleasure relationship for me so the one shot and quick read approach works well.I’m not sure why Marvel relaunched Moon Knight yet again after this series of three trades, bu...
