Each of the six issues is a self-contained story that explores Moon Knight's psyche as he takes down criminals who threaten people in the night. He's an ex-mercenary named Marc Spector, who, in exchange for a second chance at life, made a pact with the Egyptian moon god Khonshu to be his avatar on Earth, protecting travelers of the night. Full Disclosure: I can't even remember why I thought any of that, so it probably has no basis in reality. During his battle with Moon Knight, Midnight Man falls into the New York River, seemingly to his death. He is put on trial for his actions while acting as a mercenary during a previous regime change, including causing the death of Ricardo Dominguez, the previous president whom Spector instinctively shot in self defense when the man reached for a gun.

Yes, his main objective is to scare criminals and fight crime at night, but the same could be said for 'Daredevil', and one could argue that 'Batman' has borrowed that idea from the 1930's run of pulp novel 'The Shadow'. Nevertheless, once I had started watching the show and knew that this guy was linked to an ancient Egyptian god, the little mythology-lover in me didn't have a choice (plus, some excerpts from cross-overs with heroes like Spiderman had me cackling).

Marc believes he meets and befriends a boy named Steven Grant, not realizing he himself is acting as Steven at times. He now has a reason for being, a theme and a mission I can appreciate as someone who can easily stay up far too late. The series has Marc acknowledge that he had exhibited DID symptoms long before assuming the mask of Moon Knight and that his previous claim that his alters were nothing more than cover identities was simply denial of his condition.

Like his run on Secret Avengers, Warren Ellis's Moon Knight is made up of 6 individual stories, all connected by trying to understand who Moon Knight is as a character.while Khalil uses what little strength he has left to sacrifice himself, cutting off the source of Randall’s Osiris power.

The thing I took away from Ellis' Moon Knight was the Groovy Factor that he infused into his incarnation of this character.

In Bosqueverde, Spector is found guilty but is able to bargain with the new regime and have his sentence overturned. Ellis shows a Marc Spector who this time is more talented, much more stable, and more importantly, much more relevant and heroic. During a desperate battle, Moon Knight defeats Seth by blowing up his office with both of them inside, sacrificing himself in the process.My only real gripe I guess is that the issues do end very abruptly, to I guess give it that open to interpretation feel, which I guess I love and hate cause part of me wants a proper conclusion, and like I said, next issue new story!
