Reese then became the Midnight Mission receptionist and Moon Knight's right hand, the only job she could keep due to her imposed lifestyle change. Instead, he finds his place among the misfits and monsters of the Marvel Universe that often feel like outsiders themselves. Quite a few new and interesting characters are introduced in this first volume, including his vampire assistant and another Fist of Khonshu.

Accompanied by Tigra and the undead Fists of Khonshu, Moon Knight was victorious with the Midnight Mission and neighborhood safe.

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 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. Obviously and necessarily tonally different from Mackay's excellent Black Cat series, but every bit as good.

The personnel working at the Midnight Mission filter requests for his assistance across New York, with Moon Knight deciding which to follow up on in his usual brutal way.Knight has opened his Midnight Mission, his people petitioning for protection from the weird and horrible. He fights a group of vampires, as well as Some Guy who’s trying to control him by hacking his bank account. 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.

Moon Knight is a very complicated character, and Mackay handles the nuances of his mental illness well. While Khonshu languishes in prison, Marc Spector's sacred duty must still be observed: the protection of those who travel at night. The Moon Knight stalks the rooftops and alleys marked with his crescent moon tag, bringing violence to any who would harm his flock.

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. 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. Maybe I'm just saying this because I got Oscar Isaac on the brain but Mr Knight was highkey hot in this.

A mysterious foe attacks from an unexpected direction, an old friend comes to visit and Marc finds himself answering the same question over and over again: "Why do you wear the mask? 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. 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! 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. It's nice to see Marvel taking a chance on a newer artist, and it's even nicer to see it paying off.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? Following his rejection of Khonshu, the vigilante Moon Knight opted to carry on with his former master's duty to protect night travelers. 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. Jed Mackay evidently didn't get that note, because his characterisation of Moon Knight and his various personalities seems almost effortless.
