Moon Knight: From The Dead Omnibus

Product Information

But even with the mystical force of Egyptian moon-god Khonshu fueling his crusade, how does the night’s greatest detective save a city that’s as twisted as he is? No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins.

His own brother Randall, having recovered from their last fight, embarks on a career as the Hatchet-Man, an axe-wielding serial killer who targets women.When I think about it, there is a lack of interaction with this character and the rest of the world but it really doesn't need it. Encouraged by his nurse Lynn Church (whom he is now in love with), Wilde attempts a coup so he can lead the Secret Empire. Blaming Moon Knight for his injuries and abandoning him, as well as for his father's death, Wilde swears revenge. But overall this was an awesome read, and I think Moon Knight will be a character I will be reading a lot more of in the future! When a young runaway is attacked by a gang of death cultists, he is left barely alive outside the Midnight Mission.

He relies on athletic ability, advanced technology, expert combat and detective skills, and a high tolerance for pain based on willpower, training, and experience. The Slings and Arrows Graphic Novel Guide doesn't care where you've been, where you're going or where you're located.

Marlene and Marc Spector set up Spector International Galleries, an art business that curates and organizes collections and exhibits. Giving the character a reset after Brian Michael Bendis's controversial run on the character, Ellis presents his short run as a series of one-shot stories that serve to illustrate the character in various ways, whether he's fighting ghosts, disgruntled sniper veterans, or fighting his way Raid-style through an apartment building to save a kidnapped girl (in one of the best action sequences I've ever seen in a comic book). I also like the notion that Moon Knight is brain damaged and cycles between the four aspects of Khonshu.

He then officially joins the West Coast Avengers [45] and enters a brief romantic relationship with Tigra. my Dear Friends here on Goodreads jumped all over the comment section of this thread, because they cared enough to let me know that I was actually thinking of Cloak, of Cloak and Dagger fame, or potentially even Starman. Khonshu – God of the Moon, God of Vengeance – saved Marc Spector’s life, brought him to glory, and made him Moon Knight. Ray, a pilot, later becomes an ally of Moon Knight, piloting the Moon Copter when Frenchie is unavailable. To advise him on his operations, his council " the Shadow Cabinet" meet at the ShadowKeep via holographic transmission and use codenames.Following Mogart's death, Wilde adopted his father's costume and performed dynamic thefts to impress Moon Knight, hoping to convince the hero to let him become his sidekick. Soon afterward, the demonic parasite in his body causes Marc's strength to steadily increase even as his health and physical form deteriorate. And yes, he is a billionaire who uses his resources to fund his tech and weapons but so does Tony Stark, Oliver Queen, Adrian Veidt etc. Declan Shalvey delivers an expressive Moon Knight despite him literally wearing a bag over his head, and his panel layouts and distinct character designs are what elevate ‘Sniper’ from good to great.

I thankfully found a print edition of the trade for cheap, so I finally got to read this series with a trade in my hands instead of digitally like I had to before, but either way, this does eventually need a reprint. His association with the evil Committee during his first appearance was retconned to be an undercover mission he undertook to learn more about the villains. I love the 'man in a white' suit idea ("I'm the one you see coming") and the different ideas of madness and insanity and what each of them constitute. Full Disclosure: I can't even remember why I thought any of that, so it probably has no basis in reality. Fast forward and I am digging the Netflix originals, a retooling of some of my favorites from back then.

The stories collected range from okay – with the anticlimactic ‘Box’ – to great, with the horrifying ‘Sleep’ and visually intriguing ‘Sniper’. I devoured this book with joy and yet, like any good book or show, it left me wanting for the next chapter. I don't read solely for the characters but here they take someone ridiculous and reinvent him without denying the inherent ridiculousness.
