Moon Knight, Vol. 1: The Midnight Mission
The mysterious Mr. Knight has opened his Midnight Mission, his people petitioning him to shelter them from the weird and horrible. The Moon Knight stalks the rooftops and alleys marked with his crescent moon tag, bringing violence to any who would harm his flock. Marc Spector, in whichever guise he dons, is back on the streets, a renegade priest of an unworthy god. But while Khonshu languishes in prison, Moon Knight’s duty still must be observed: the protection of those who travel at night. But what happens when those he would save are turned into weapons against him? When gangs of elderly residents leave a trail of bizarre violence, Moon Knight must put his body, mind and very soul on the line to end the carnage!

Really enjoyed Mackay's take on Moon Knight.
It's not hyper-violent like Huston, or a trippy space war being fought in the mindscape like Lemire. This version reminds me more of Ellis's version than anything else, where we see Spector as Mr. Knight running around saving people in his own way. As though Mackay gave Ellis a nod, and then took it in his own direction.
Quite a few new and interesting characters are introduced in this first volume, including his vampire assistant and another Fist of Khonshu. The new villain was also excellent.
To me, Mackay managed to stay true to the character while giving him a fresh coat of paint. And after suffering through that terrible tv show, I'm even more grateful that the comics aren't going to follow it down the toilet.
You may want to read The Age of Khonshu before you read this, but it's not strictly necessary as long as you find out the main gist of the event & its outcome beforehand.

'Mr Knight' as he now calls himself now where's a mask 24/7 and is as agreed with the Avengers undergoing therapy. In this first volume of this well-hyped series Moon Knight's therapy sessions are interspersed with the work of his Midnight Mission protecting his night-time neighbourhood from the likes of vampires and supervillains.
unbeknownst to him, he has two adversaries lurking in the periphery, one that wants to 'fix him' and one that wants to 'destroy him'! The art is pretty impressive and so far is the best thing about this series for me:
The therapy sessions feel very generic; and the overall plotting a bit unadventurous, but still, this is looking like the first Moon Knight season that I will actually stick with. A 6.5 out of 12, Three Star read from me.

I just loved Jed Mackay’s recent job on Marvel’s Black Cat, so this debut on Moon Knight is not surprisingly at all a real solid and good one, taking the good parts from wonderful previous run by Warren Ellis who relaunched the character a few years ago, introducing his new Mr Knight’s identity and much more, and then taking his own path with strong classic vibes, homaging good old times when Marc Spector used to battle every sort of criminal mastermind and supernatural creature instead of struggling between his multiple personalities.
I haven’t read the Age of Konshu storyline setting this one because of the bad reviews making me afraid about buying Jason Aaron’s current run on Avengers, but luckily it was not necessary at all reading it to fully enjoy this entertaining volume of Mackay’s Moon Knight.
Alessandro Cappuccio’s art was pretty good too, but with another more horror-oriented artist from the Fist of Konshu’s past like Sienkiewicz, Finch or Burrows, this could have been a five stars review from me.
Kudos to the author for digging out from the pages of classic West Coast Avengers comic books, that I used to read and love when I was younger, Marc’s romance with Greer, an old fan favourite of mine together with the Tony/Janet one.
That was so good for me to round up this review to four stars and one half.
Just one of the best Moon Knight’s fresh starts ever, setting the stage for lots of good things to come, and cleaning sour from my mouth after watching the sadly disappointing tv series on Disney+.
Onward to volume two, just can’t wait to read it.

Reread: 15/03/2024
Reading this now that the first 30 issues are over and we getting a relaunch and its definitely lived upto my expectations I had when I read just the first trade and it was so worth it and I loved every moment of it! Its so fun seeing MK fight against Hunters moon and he is not an outright villain and the way Jed goes about giving him a supporting cast is awesome and I can't wait to reread the entire run and Zodiac stuff only grows crazy from here! I just love the art more and more every time I reread it.. its so good, seriously the use of dark and light colors is done splendidly.
_____________________________________________________________________
It's like 2 am here while I read it but omg after watching the new episode I just couldn't stop.
So the issue starts with MK on a mission to save people at night and he meets Reese and all there and the drama there as another fist of Khonshu aka the Hunters moon is here and he fights MK and it's it's a fun fight and all. But then there are solo adventures with others, other confrontations we have him meet Tigra and the romance there plus he works for someone else.. After a ransom attempt by some wanna be jigsaw knockoff he fights this guy and then we follow him confront a new enemy Zodiac and I love the whole reveal of how it happens, almost like the Joker to his Batman. It seems like it will build up to something big.
So yeah fun volume and it's an amazing read and it gets the character and shows the conflicting sides surrounding Mark be it personalities or allies and I love the use of continuity and the way the writer weaves together so many past versions into a coherent story and makes it more all the epic plus the art is so good, one of the best in modern times easily and it feels like Cates and Stegman Venom run. It might turn out to be one of the best marvel runs in a few years!

Apparently Moon Knight/Khonshu tried taking over the world, or something stupid, in a recent Jason Aaron Avengers arc (I gave up on that series after the dismal first volume so I’m guessing from details gleaned from this book) and now he’s running a religious mission in the city… for reasons? And just in time too as a number of done-in-one-issue-sized threats for him to deal with have conveniently started to pop up!
I’m not sure what people see in Jed MacKay because what little I’ve read of his (Daredevil, Taskmaster, Black Cat) has been representative of the current dire state of Marvel: uninspired, poorly put-together and thoroughly uninteresting product. His Moon Knight is only slightly better than I’d expected but it’s still quite pants.
The stories here are uncreative and plain stupid. One features a janitor who controls minds with his sweat (really!) while another Fist of Khonshu appears (“Hunter’s Moon” which sounds like a cheap aftershave) only for Moon Knight to defeat him with a baseball bat to the head. He fights a group of vampires, as well as Some Guy who’s trying to control him by hacking his bank account. They’re such unimaginative stories to read.
The characters are unimpressive - I can name one supporting character’s name, Soldier (and, yes, he WAS a soldier - that’s how cerebral MacKay is!), but none of the others. The threats Moon Knight faces aren’t credible. Some idiot called Zodiac is trotted out after the parade of others have been summarily defeated before he’s taken out as well. It’s just not interesting to see Moon Knight effortlessly take out enemies one after the other.
It’s not clear why Moon Knight sometimes appears interchangeably as Mr Knight and Moon Knight either. I guess Mr Knight is his administrative/normal-ish side when he’s going to therapy and dealing with the running of his mission, and Moon Knight is for when he’s doing generic superhero action? It’s not established though and I get the feeling that MacKay doesn’t have a particularly firm grip on the character which is why his writing of Moon Knight is very superficial.
Alessandro Cappuccio’s art isn’t bad, though it’s not as striking as Steve McNiven’s covers unfortunately, and I suppose the stories are varied enough to not make for a relentlessly tedious read. Mostly though I was barely engaged with this bland, forgettable comic - if you’re after some decent Moon Knight comics, check out the ones by Warren Ellis and Brian Wood instead.

A nice start to this new Moon Knight book. It's more of a return to the Warren Ellis version. Mackay thankfully sends Marc Spector's family who were introduced in Moon Knight: Legacy packing. The Age of Khonshu Avengers' arc is a lead-in to this series and I do recommend reading it first, because it does change up the Moon Knight dynamic with Khonshu. Moon Knight has opened a mission in his neighborhood and using it as a place for people to come ask for his help. I like the group of villains Mackay has dug up. They all make sense instead of a revolving door of Bushman and Midnight.
The art is pretty good. It's got a nice kinetic energy to it. I'm not sold on the Moon Knight costume though. It's a busier version of the Declan Shalvey designed costume, but I think simpler is always better and they should have just used it.

A really solid jumping on point for new fans of Moon Knight. I wasn’t blown away by it like I was by Lemire’s or Ellis’ runs, but it does a great job at nailing Moon Knight’s characterization. The art is also astonishing. I don’t have much else to say other than you would probably like this if you are interested in the new Disney + show.

Kind of bleak and also pretty hand-wavy when it comes to supernatural phenomena such as honest-to-God vampires running around midtown Manhattan, etc.
There's some gorgeous line art along the way, though.

Great book. I enjoyed this book a lot more then I thought I would. In previous series of Moon Knight the best thing I could say about it was David Finch's artwork. The series has good artwork, good story and great characters.
Marc Spector has decided to do things his own was. Though he embraces his "sacred" duty/mission of protecting his community by night, he does not feel the same about Khonshu. Can such a thing go unpunished. On top of that he has another enemy as well who wants him broken.
A great start to the series, great characters introduced and to be explored. It seems the more baggage a character has makes them even more interesting. Enough action the to keep anyone interested. I also like the subtle difference in the artwork for Mr Kinght and Moon Knight. I definitely want see what happens next.

After kicking all of the Avengers' asses and even cleaning Khonshu's clock, Mr. Knight puts his feet back on the ground to try and help people in the only way he knows how. Khonshu is the god of midnight travellers, and if there's one thing Moon Knight is good at, it's protecting people from things that go bump in the night.
It's easy to write Moon Knight badly - it's easy to lean into his mental illness and make him sadistic or insane (and we've seen that before, to varying effects), but writing Moon Knight right is very, very difficult. Jed Mackay evidently didn't get that note, because his characterisation of Moon Knight and his various personalities seems almost effortless. This isn't an Immortal Hulk-esque system of alters so much as a group of people working towards a common goal that all happen to be living in the same body, and the subtle changes when the dominant personality shifts are wonderful to behold.
This new volume of adventures begins as what seems to be one and done stories, but there's a thread that lingers through them all that culminates in an explosive confrontation and a reveal that I never saw coming. This is helped out by the fact that there's a second villain waiting in the wings who initially seems more important, but might be more of a Ghost-Maker to Moon Knight than a Joker. The supporting cast are great fun too, especially once a familiar West Coast Avenger pops onto the scene.
On art is newcomer Alessandro Cappuccio, whose dynamic poses and excellent use of shadows make Moon Knight a lovely looking book. It's nice to see Marvel taking a chance on a newer artist, and it's even nicer to see it paying off.
Mackay is fast becoming a name for me to watch at Marvel - his Moon Knight already looks set to stand next to his Black Cat as one of my favourite Marvel titles in recent years.

So something happened to Marc and Khonshu in Avengers.
“What happened exactly?”
I don’t know I didn’t read it. But don’t worry it goes into some detail on what happened. Plus I don’t think you need it. Well I didn’t.
Basically Marc is on his own. So he starts the Midnight Mission to protect the travelers of the night. But Vampires, the other fist of Khonshu and many more, will stand in his way. I enjoyed seeing how all of these connected and the mystery that was slowly unraveling. Oh and Marc also has a Therapist now. Which I enjoyed seeing how Marc views the world because of Khonshu.
The art is good. Full of shadows just like a Moon knight comic should be.
This is my favorite Moon knight run (that I’ve read). The only annoying thing is that I can’t just binge through it like I was able to do, since it’s a new series. But I can’t wait when all of the issues do finally release.
I highly recommend.

Mackay’s Moon Knight is just plain fun. The story is pretty action oriented, though I think Marc Spector’s inner turmoil tends to be overstated. I guess that is the nature of the beast when your main character has a personality disorder, but I could do without the therapy interludes. Otherwise Moon Knight is a pretty colorful book, and I’m into the Hunters Moon dynamic so far.

I will definitely say reading a series as a trade vs monthly singles can make a difference. When I was reading the singles for this I thought it was just decent. Nice art, like the idea of MK having this mission where people from the neighborhood could bring their problems to him and he would go out and handle it. But I felt it was missing that through narrative. I don’t if it was because I was reading a ton of singles back then and was just missing stuff or not remembering story beats in everything but reading this all at once has changed my tune. I see Mackay’s vision now. This was really good. Super excited to read vol 2 tomorrow now.

🎵 It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero. 🎵
This is a reread and while I loved it the first time months ago, it really hit harder this time. Not to expose myself but I rewatch the Moon Knight show almost every week (not kidding at all, I'm really down bad for him) and this is so different from that and yet they are both so good.
In here we have Marc Spector going exclusively as Mr Knight and running a mission. After the events of past runs (like when Khonshu tried to take over the world), he is separated from him but still does his work and now calls himself a priest.
I guess it's good I saved this one for last because apparently every other run before this was canon and mentioned? Like that's cool I guess but half the runs I read were shit lol.
This one was cool though! We get to see Moon Knight actually doing his thing as he saves and fights various people at night. This shit IS Moon Knight at his most Moon Knight to ever Moon Knight. He's a badass psycho, pretty scary and you absolutely do not want to fight him but he's also dramatic as hell and has an emotional support teenage vampire.
Maybe I'm just saying this because I got Oscar Isaac on the brain but Mr Knight was highkey hot in this. There's a part where he licks one of his crescent darts and overpowers some dude's brain with his own fucked up one and I'm still screaming at the power in that. He kicks ass and looks good while doing it and I loved his actual Moon Knight costume.
I was pretty disappointed the other guys weren't in this tbh. Marc has a good grasp on his mind and his illness this time so obviously Steven and Jake don't even get to say hello, rip. But the scenes with his therapist went hard.
I also love the introduction of Hunter's Moon, another fist of Khonshu. The way they absolutely hate each other but have to work together and tolerate each other is perfection.
The art seriously makes it. It's so stylized and GORGEOUS. There's some full page spreads that were just so beautiful I want to print it out and hang on my wall. Weird thing but I also really love the glow that Moon Knight gets?? It's subtle but dude is glowing and I love that effect. Gotta say the cover art is hideous though, especially on this volume.

Quando foi anunciado pela Marvel que Jed MacKay iria assumir o novo título do Cavaleiro da Lua, eu vibrei de alegria, afinal ele havia dado uma abordagem muito legal para as histórias de Felícia Hardy, a Gata Negra. Também achei que era uma forma das histórias de Marc Spector e companhia limitada de personalidades terem um teor menos sombrio e esquizofrênico (no sentido literário e não patológico) como foram todas suas fases anteriores. É verdade: MacKey fugiu desse tom com seu Cavaleiro da Lua, mas não acredito que tenha me agradado e nem aos (poucos) fãs do Cavaleiro da Lua nos quadrinhos e na série de televisão. Os desenhos de Alessandro Cappuccio são uma escolha também inusitada para comporem essas histórias. Não me entendam mal, a arte e o roteiro são ok, não tem problemas, mas parece que não se encaixam com o Cavaleiro da Lua. O quadrinho é tão ok que é ok demais e fica naquela linha mediana do tanto faz eu ter lido ou não essa história em quadrinhos. Espero que nos próximos arcos do personagem a coisa mude de figura.

This is stellar from opening to close. Moon Knight is confident in his madness (or is it madness?) and it makes him a force to be reckoned with. The story examines faith, family, loyalty, and commitment to ourselves.
There's a depth here that resonates with me as a reader. How much should we face what we've already done when it lives exclusively in the past? Should we keep punishing ourselves for a sunk cost?
Redemption is such a common theme in comics, and this book executes that theme well. The redemption comes in the form of penance. A debt. The question is, how long do you pay on a debt when there's no one actually keeping a tab except you?

I don't know why this took me so long to start this comic, i loved the first volume and the characters in it so much: Reese, dr. Badr, the therapist and his friend from the Avengers (i don't know her name).
And then we have this enemy who later reveals himself and plan to break Moonknight and I can't wait to see what they'll do with him.
The art is spectacular, it's so satisfying to see such beautiful artwork and I love how it makes Mr Knight/Moonknight glow.

I've been reading Moon Knight for a long time, ever since he first appeared, and this is right up there with the best iterations. Rather than go back to the drawing board and give us another "Huh? What's going on?" story full of competing identities fighting with each other, Mackay just jumps right past all of that to a Moon Knight who seems to have figured himself out somewhat (even though he still has to see a psychiatrist as a condition of his probation following the events in one of Jason Aaron's more laughable Avengers collections, when Khonshu prompted Marc to basically take over the world). This also fits right in with the recent Marvel television version, which I really enjoyed, and works as Moon Knight's continuing adventures following that story arc. It is also nice to have a new villain and not the same rogues' gallery. About the only thing that didn't grab me was the artwork--a bit too sketchy for my tastes, though maybe that will improve in subsequent volumes. Looking forward to more of this.

The only previous exposure I'd had to Moon Knight in comics was from the Doctor Strange: Damantion storyline:
But since the series is airing now, I thought I'd check out a Moon Knight led comic. Result? This was a lot of fun. Good art. Good story and characters. And some unexpectedly thoughtful themes thrown in for good measure.

I like the bits of urban horror it has, and also I like the way Marc Spector is written. Strange enough the art, even if overall good for my taste, is what sometimes took me out of the story.

Wohooo, that was awesome! As a devoted fan of Moon Knight, I was so thrilled about this comic.
I have to admit that I needed some adjustment time to get used to the narrative style and storytelling approach; however, once I settled in, it was really fun to read.
I love the background information this comic provides about Moon Knight's character. I discovered fascinating details and facets of him, that I haven’t known before.
Passed it on to my dad now. Hope he enjoys it such as much as I did. May Khonshu bless you all 🌙

After the dreck that was the Age of Khonshu, we find a battered Moon Knight back to his old, street-level ways. He's eager to help the denizens of the night, mostly by punching vampires, it seems. A few new(?) villains want to stop him. The Midnight Mission reminds me Jed Mackay's Black Cat series in that there's lots of fun action here, but very little exciting world-building.
What depth there is stems from Moon Knight's repeated failures in life. After he tried to take over the world for Khonshu (sigh), the Avengers have required that Marc Spector see a therapist. Eventually, this therapist draws out Spector's true feelings - which are interesting! But otherwise, this volume is pretty much all talk > punch > talk > punch.

EVERYTHING MOON KNIGHT GETS 5 STARS FROM ME. Even tho… wow, the art and the take on Moon Knights story after basically trying to take over the world is truly a great premise. And seeing a little more of Hunter’s Moon and his backstory is great!!

Obviously and necessarily tonally different from Mackay's excellent Black Cat series, but every bit as good. Moon Knight is a very complicated character, and Mackay handles the nuances of his mental illness well. He also builds him an interesting supporting cast, complete with a new villain and a character who can best be described as a rival. The issues are largely self-contained stories, with an underlying thread that connects everything. It just works.
