Moon Knight Vol. 1: The Midnight Mission (Moon Knight (2021-))

Product Information

The House of Shadows is weak to strong magic, but also the feeling of certain minds; such as Moon Knight's unique psychic imprint which caused the supernatural space to spit him out like tainted food [4]. 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. Now, David Pepose and Marcelo Ferreira’s new series MOON KNIGHT: CITY OF THE DEAD promises to uncover new depths of Marc Spector’s past. When a young runaway is found dying at the doorstep of the Midnight Mission, Moon Knight must take his duties to a new realm: the Duat. In the City of the Dead, Moon Knight will reunite with an old ally, Layla El-Faouly, AKA the Scarlet Scarab! Tom, how did the process of assembling this creative team come together? What specific attributes do Jed, Alessandro, and the rest of the team possess that fit with your vision for Moon Knight?

When Zodiac shot through Reese and killed Soldier, enough DNA survived on the bullet to infect Soldier with Reese's vampiric curse. This got the attention of Tutor, the vampire who had sired Reese and was running the New York vampire cult, The Structure. He believed that Soldier was the first of many, so he treated the Midnight Mission as a rival organization. After Moon Knight had a run-in with two assassins ( Nemean and Grand Mal) hired by The Structure to take him out, Moon Knight started looking into vampire activity in the city. 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.Psionic Absorption: Seemingly torturing its occupants when really it craves interaction and feeds off the strong emotions-- such as fear. [4] MOON KNIGHT: CITY OF THE DEAD #1 will also feature the comic debut of Layla El-Faouly. In an interview with CBR, writer David Pepose revealed some of the history between Marc and Layla: “Layla's past with Marc comes from being a fellow member of the mercenary team, the Karnak Cowboys. So she knows Marc in a way that very few people do, knowing Marc during a time that hasn't been explored as much in continuity.” When the dust settles, a new avatar of Khonshu’s wrath will awaken! Complete with a new look and an unquenchable thirst for battle, this mysterious new Moon Knight emerges to take Marc’s place in VENGEANCE OF THE MOON KNIGHT—a deadlier Lunar Legionnaire for the dark times ahead! For the most part, Moon Knight didn’t fight Super Villains or monsters, he dealt with weird stuff and real-world stuff. I also dug the fact that he had multiple identities (in those days, that hadn’t quite evolved into multiple personalities as it would as time went on—initially, he was a guy who put on a different act for each aspect of his life). In that, he was the most like the Shadow, who would pretend to be Lamont Cranston and the police janitor and a few other roles, but who had secretly been aviator Kent Allard, seemingly killed during the war.

Since his first appearance in 1975’s WEREWOLF BY NIGHT #32 by comic book greats Doug Moench and Don Perlin, Moon Knight has stood out over the years thanks to his intriguing mythology and the psychological complexities of the character. Having enjoyed critically-acclaimed runs by Brian Michael Bendis, Warren Ellis, and Jeff Lemire, Mark Spector now makes his much-demanded return with a series that will give Moon Knight fans exactly what they’ve been asking for and serve as a perfect gateway for newcomers interested in this unique Marvel hero. Don’t miss the start of Moon Knight’s new era when MOON KNIGHT #1 hits stands on July 7th! MOON KNIGHT #1 What previous Moon Knight portrayals weigh on your interpretation? What kind of new touches are you bringing to the character?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+. 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. 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. 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!
